I have not been paying attention to the camera scene at all. That last time I checked years ago it seemed like gopro was the only good one and maybe a few others.
Last night I was looking around and now I see a good amount of offerings from 45-100 bucks and was wanting to get one for my road bicycle if they are that cheap. Some have 4K which if I gather correct is pretty much useless because of the low frame rate?
Anyways I am cureious what people think of the cheap ones if they own any I am really just wanting some nice clear video for road cycling incase anyone almost runs me over or starts shit with me and maybe take it to the track here and there

I've been buzzed a couple of times by assholes when I would ride on the street. I'd love to find out who it was. I no longer ride on the street for that one reason alone.
Once you get a GPH5 and you play with the gauges, high frame rate, quality, etc you will never go back.

The upside is they are so cheap. For $40, you can get one with all the bells and whistles. ALL of them! But in GoPro's defense, their systems are seamless. Good luck.
Now I use it only to see how way too early I brake and how I need to lower a gear in a couple of turns, but if you wanna use it for legal stuff where you wanna see everything clear especially licence plates then I'd say invest in a Sony. Like the AS200VR. May be expensive but you at least get something worth your money.
(I work in the film industry and have used a lot of cameras over the years so I may be nitpicky about it, but this is just my opinion.)
