No idea. It really depends on the length of the ride. Some 'traffic-related' rides could be up to 200 km, e.g., Audax and at my speed, that is a long time on the saddle



Thanks. I was looking at a GoPro 10/11 as a possible option, but the second-hand prices here are up there with the new price of, say, a DJI Osmo Action 4, so I dropped them down the possibilities list.
Most action cameras will charge while connected to a power bank, although it can stop charging in the rain if the port gets wet.

Some can also overheat if recording for a long time, although the wind from a moving bicycle helps that.

Some have time-lapse recording modes, i.e., taking a photo every 3 seconds and stitching them together into a stop-motion video. This can be interesting on long rides through changing terrain.

Audio! Most have terrible audio - too much wind noise that just sounds ugly. Some have accessory fuzzy things (known as "dead cats") that cut that wind noise considerably. The newest ones can connect to a wireless mic that you can wear on your jersey if you want to talk while you ride.

Just giving you a survey of features to consider.
