Hi, I’m in the US and non-car safety is appalling. I live in a semi-urban area and get nearly hit, obstructed or aggressively cut off at crosswalks or driveways nearly every single time I run, which is every other day.

Rather than try to make the case with stats showing no local enforcement of pedestrian code, I’ve decided for my and likely my future lawyers sale I should just record and montage it. When I’m inevitably disabled or killed by one of these selfish dumbasses, at least it will make for simple settlements, and prosecutions .

I’m in the market for a headmounted/head strap camera, preferably with a microphone option. I googled a bit and there are some go-pro-ish options but they all seem pretty big and heavy, made for mountain biking or swimming, etc. anyone have ideas or links for a lighter option? Don’t need 4k and 400gb of storage, just enough for an hour or video and audio at reasonable resolution.

TIA

    Some sort of action-cam is probably the only real option. Gopro is probably the best known, but you can probably find cheaper alternatives with lower specs. I doubt you’ll find anything that’s much smaller than the gopro form factor.

    I would probably go for a chest-mount instead of head-mount though, it seems to me like that is more comfortable for longer durations.
