Budget Action Camera for track days
Discussion
I'm looking for a half decent, but reasonably priced action camera for track days in a Caterham. I want to be able to mount it on the roll bar, and also to be able to put it in a few other positions...aimed at me, on the rear wheel arch filming the front wheel, pointing at the pedals, usual stuff.
Obviously I want a remote I can mount on the dash too.
The AKASO Brave 7 LE seems to be pretty decent for £118. Is there anything else I should be considering instead at that price point?
Thanks!

Thanks for all the feedback guys, some useful info and good videos too!
I ended up going for a GoPro Hero 8, there was a guy on eBay selling an unopened one at a very good price indeed and it seems a really decent piece of kit. A Caterham friend of mine does some well known YouTube videos (acaterhamcalledfern) so I've ordered the bits to pretty much copy his setup as it works well. Incidentally I discounted any newer models of GoPro due to the eye watering price and overheating problems, and I didn't bother with the Akaso as on review videos the sound quality was terrible, internal or external mic. My 8 has cost similar money to the Akaso anyway.
Next question, if I wanted to be able to put some overlays on my videos, speed, g, GPS track of the circuit, what do I need to be able to do that?
Thanks!
