I am more interested in the specifications than specific cameras so that I can get a minimum criteria list, but I am open to suggestions on cameras that can be mounted using a GroPro mount and can be charged whilst in use.
what are YOUR priorities?
so far you stated:
no night vision
uses a gopro mount
can be charged during use (but maybe you mean accepts an external power source?)
may I ask will you be recording constantly for hours? if so, how many hours?
personally I like the gopro8. I bought 2 preowned. liked the 1st 1 so much that I bought a 2nd. I like to fly them from kites. they are very handy on a bike too. digital image stabilization is amazing. I only record highlights. I don't run it continuously. then later I go thru my clips & see what is interesting. much of it is just boring & gets deleted. it does a nice job w/ still photos but I often just grab a video frame to share. I bought wires & external power sources but it's more convenient to just have more batteries
