Go to Amazon and search for action cam, plenty of choices. I got a SJCAM (about £50) and a Apeman (about £30), both are knocked off GoPro, both are basic models with standard HD, no WiFi, nothing fancy, use exactly the same accessories, exactly the same size (ok, maybe ever so slightly different).
Obviously the quality isn’t comparable with a GoPro but if you are just using it for recording and don’t intend to use the footage for any art pieces then they are more than fine.
In fact, I have a GoPro for my work but I don’t use it my bike because a 32GB card doesn’t go that far for recording my commute. I get about 4.5hrs on my SJCAM and about 5.5hrs in my Apeman on a 32GB card.
If the standard accessories ain’t suitable , eBay is your best friend, go for the CNC machined stuff over plastic, they last much longer.

Hello, do you use either of the cameras on your helmet ? They both look a bit bulky ?
As per @Colm89 I am getting a little bit sick of the shit driving as winter sets in and after 10 years of near misses i think its about time i got some evidence in case of the worst.

What's the current best option for a <£100 helmet cam? Was going to grab one of the entry level gopro hero's, but they seem to have done away with them.
Got wiped out by a motorist for the second time in 3 months on Friday and had another near miss on my way home from getting my bike checked at the shop yesterday. All on straight roads where I had right of way, while wearing a bright orange jacket, commuting slowly by Brompton.
Time for a camera...
