I'm planning on getting back into bike commuting after a 6 year hiatus, just waiting on some bike parts for a new build. I'd like to record my commutes this time. Age has made me more wary of motorists and also less worried about looking like a dweeb with a helmet cam.

I've been looking at some $50 range Go-Pro knock offs on Amazon. Does anyone use a Go-Pro knock off camera? Any recommendations on specific models? Or on different camera styles? I'd like to keep it below $60.

My main question is, where do you all mount your camera? Helmet or Handlebars? Somewhere else? Pros and cons of placement?
