Camera Suggestions

Whatever you buy, be aware that recording the video is the easy part and only the start. If you plan to share the videos you will spend many hours editing them down to the few minutes of every hour that will be truly interesting to others. Video recorders today are the 8mm home movies of the 50s. Mostly hours of boring movies interesting only to families. If you're prepared to spend the time to do it right, go for it. If not, save your money and spare other people from being bored. And don't try to record only the interesting stuff while on the move. You'll miss a lot of it and end up recording a lot of stuff that you'll wish you hadn't. At least that's been my experience.

I used to record and edit my churches services (2 on Sunday plus a Wednesday evening service and a mens Bible study) then get them set up for archiving and FB/YouTube. You won't do this with a Chromebook. If you want it done right, you'll need some power behind the computer, a decent program and lots of time. I spent about 4 hours every week getting a video ready. It's not for the timid.

K80, if you are wanting to do it from a fixed position you might want to look at the INNOVV K3 or K5 series.

K3 is 1080 front and rear and the K5 is 4K front and 1080 rear. They also have the K2 but for a few dollars more the K3 is an updated much better unit.

Looks pretty good to my untrained eye https://www.innovv.com/innovv-k5-dashcam

Not with a GoPro. Download to phone and edit. I can ride and record for an hour on my GoPro Max and while I’m having lunch I can upload to phone then make video for To share. Easy.

So are you saying you can scan the hour's worth of video, pick out the 10 one minute clips that will be of general interest to others, assemble them into a single video, and upload that, all while you're eating lunch? I used a GoPro for my videos and edited them on a PC. No way could I put together a ten minute general interest video out of 2 or 3 hours of raw video in less than 2 to 4 hours of editing. Unless you have an unbelievably powerful phone just the file save operation for a 10 minute video can take 20 to 40 minutes. I just can't comprehend how you can do what you say you do during a lunch break.

I use the GoPro Max. I got it last year, replacing a GoPro 5 Black. With the Max’s multiple recording functions, especially the 360 mode, it has taken me some time, trial and error, and practice to get the results I want. The camera provided stunningly clear, smooth and exciting video. Editing does take time and talent..
