Small wearable camera like Insta360 Go 2 but with decent recording time?

kuro68k · April 5, 2021

When the world finally opens up again I'd like to record some of my trips. The Insta360 Go 2 seems pretty ideal. Small, discrete, good image quality and stabilization... But the battery only lasts 30 minutes, you only get 28GB of storage and fully stabilized clips are limited to 10 minutes!

Is there anything else like it, even on the horizon? Just want something I can clip on while walking around, or magnet mount when renting a car to use as a dashcam. Needs a decent amount of storage or SD cards.

gopro hero sessions?

I recently got a GoPro Hero 9 - seems exactly what you need. I have 4 batteries and can do around 4+ hours of video a day on those batteries (but depends on resolution Im capturing etc). I have the Amazon essentials kit for it...clips for days. Ive mounted it as a dash cam, used it for capturing slow motion gun firing films, and turn it on any time the family is out doing some/anything.

Thanks. It seems a bit big and conspicuous though. I like the Go 2 because you would hardly notice it. I'm not trying to be sneaky or anything, just don't want to walk around with a big camera strapped to me that screams "tourist" and makes people take notice.

Maybe the Hero 8 would be more suitable. At the front screen isn't lit and it's cheaper. This is kinda ideal though, would blend in with clothing if they did a black version:
