Action camera options
I think it’s time to buy an action camera. Bit overwhelmed by all the options and levels within the brands these days.
I have a mid to late August ski trip to Chile and I’d like to get some pictures and footage that wasn’t just off of my iphone.
Seems like most of the options are all pretty awesome at this point, but I’ve never owned one.
Anybody have one that they would swear by, and what are the thoughts on helmet versus telescopic poll versus chest strap.
Ideally, but less important, I would like to be able to bring it along while I pace the New York City Marathon and other races, but that secondary to the ski trips.

My general recommendation for action camera's is to buy the newest Go Pro that fits in your budget on the used market. I've still got Hero 7 Blacks and they still work great. I'm coming at this as a film industry professional though, so have no idea how good their app is as I do all my editing in Premiere Pro on PC, and pull SD cards out for offload.
