It's really difficult to balance budget and wants/needs of equipment.. and I'm not there yet in terms of being able to ride or vlog (yet!! bloody lockdown), but I have been doing quite a bit of research in advance.
It looks like the most commonly used cameras are GoPros (anywhere from 4-8 black), but I also know that some people hate them and use others like the ghost.
So my question (for opinions really) is how much emphasis should someone put on having the capability to do 60fps, and do you think that this should be one of the 'absolutely necessary' things when looking at cameras, even to the detriment of other pieces of kit if that would be the case? Or would it be wise to compromise on the fps to 30, while then being able to save some money.
I won't have a 'budget' as such to use, so for me, it'd just be a case of getting what I can for the best price I can, cheapest the better because I'll have to put the money back into savings at some point anyway, and I was toying with the ghost XL (2nd hand are pretty cheap tbf, and not that expensive new even). I have a shark radial helmet which has the sun visor slider on the top (where I would have liked to put the camera) so it'll be side mounted, with a comms unit on the other side (ideally - but choice of those is another question altogether).
Anyway, let me know your thoughts
