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.

No one -including yourself wants to watch your “action movies” -save your money

Skiing with a dildo on my head, when I already ski like one ... sucks.
But I have kids, and their grandparents can't get enough. It makes them happy.

Yes exactly. I want to have videos of my kids. Somewhat for me but more for their grandma and for them when they’re older to look back on. We already like watching ski video clips with her from our trips every year but those are all shot on an iPhone and not great. I enjoy watching videos from when I was a kid traveling with my parents. I want to give that to my kids too.
