>>3908844I'm reposting this here. I'm trying to figure out what type of camera I should get for recording long road trips.
I want to mount it to the dash/windshield inside the car. I want a camera that at least records in 1080p, preferable higher. I would like it to either be able to stabilize itself or have the ability to be stabilized so it's not shaking a lot while driving. I also want it to have high storage and a long battery life (or be plugged it into a USB port or something to keep it charged in the car while recording). I want to be able to record for a long time or at least record lots of segments without it overheating. I would also like it to be at least decent in lowlight for night driving. I'd like to spend around $500 but I'm open to more expensive options if there's nothing like I want in that price range.
I've been doing some research, I thought a GoPro would be the way to go but it seems like if you aren't using it for short action videos it'll overheat. I thought about getting a dashcam but it seems like that's more for 24/7 security purposes and that's not really what I'm looking for but I'm not sure.
I'm completely clueless about cameras. The only one I own is a Sony Handycam HDR-CX110 which is ok but I think it's time to upgrade. Any advise would be helpful, thanks.
