[quote=martin_langhoff]Nowadays you can get deeply discounted GoPro Hero5 Black which has all the goodies you need (GPS, top quality image, etc). Not sure exactly how much, but my original Hero5 died, and I called GoPro and I think I got a (refurbished, warranted) unit for ~$100. It's a bit of money, but definitely worth it. The $350 (discounted) / $450 (list) price for latest GoPro Hero8 is hard to justify for a video that is just a little bit better. IMHO :)
In terms of camera mount, I combine the simple "bike handlebar mount" with a CF 1m long tube with a PVC tube attached to the spi pole with hose clamps. Electrical tape protects the spi pole, and also covers the clamps to avoid snags.
The PVC tube is shimmed so that the camera is high enough to see the tiller crossbar. The tiller crossbar has strips of white making tape. With all those things in place, you can see the helm action in detail in the resulting video.
