Linus mentions using a GoPro. GoPro Hero 4’s go for around $60 on eBay and have decent quality. I have used it as a dash cam but only for a few hours. It will require some hacking to get it to record full time like a traditional dashcam.


gopro will unpredictably overheat, crash, refuse to record, stop record at random etc.


that’s quite surprising. I’ve not personally had these issues but I don’t doubt it.


Amateur car racing youtubers have constant gopro problems. Just from today

Racing ~12 times in a year and having gopro die >3 times on you is really bad.
