Pros and cons
Akaso Brave 7 LE
Pros
- Unbeatable value: 4K camera with front screen for €89
- Waterproof to 40 m with included housing — plenty for any Dutch rain
- Touchscreen and front screen that many pricier cameras lack
- Two batteries in the box — most budget competitors include only one
Cons
- Electronic stabilization well behind GoPro/DJI — rough MTB clips still shake
- Low-light performance is weak: you'll see noise in overcast or dusk conditions
GoPro HERO13 Black
Pros
- HyperSmooth 6.0 — currently the smoothest stabilization on the market, even on rough MTB singletrack
- 5.3K/60fps produces sharp crash evidence insurers accept without argument
- Waterproof to 10 m without a housing, so the IPX hassle in Dutch autumn rain is over
- Enduro battery retains ~90% capacity at 0 °C where the stock battery halves
Cons
- Battery life at the highest bitrate disappoints on long tours — a spare battery is basically mandatory
- Price is well above Akaso and older Sony models if all you want is a dashcam role
