GoPro clones
Specifically, has anybody tried this one? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GE99L0K/
Just wondering how the actual results from it look.
Had a Hero HD, and broke a couple of mounts and a case for it. If the camera ends up skidding down the road, I'd feel a lot better about it being $50 than $300+.

A big problem with generic cameras is that quality control is very consistent. One person may be happy with his camera, but another person has huge problems with the same model. Of course, customer service is non-existent as well.

The best GoPro clone is the SJCam series. Make sure it's genuine - it must have the SJCam logo on the front.
It's the only clone good enough that they've made knock offs of the knock off.
SJCam is consistent AND has good customer service. They even listen to their customers - they've added new features by customer request in the past.

Xaomi Yi is awesome. I have one and bought the $19 accessories pack and we use it all the time. Was less than a $150 investment total for everything when I bought it (I also bought a battery charging bank and 2 extra batteries).

I bought this from Monoprice, it doesn't have as good of image stabilization but it does good enough to be used as the rear camera.
I guess I can't post URLs, it's the MHD 2.0 from Monoprice.com
