Here’s a new GoPro knock off that looks like it does a better job then GoPro at a fraction of the price. When panning, the image looks a little rubbery, but it records in 4K, looks like it has better color and dynamic range. One thing for sure; the sample footage in the linked video sure the hell looks a lot better then video I have of my parks, shot on my GoPro.
We long ago switched to the Polaroid Cube cameras for videoing our parks. Here is what we buy:
Polaroid Cube Camera - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NEZ6OW6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00NEZ6OW6&linkCode=as2&tag=cre0650-20&linkId=5896dc797de211a25eeed07dcae9969f
Suction Cube Mount & Case - Amazon.com
We find these camera’s quality is on par with GoPro and are much cheaper and easier to use.

Brandon, is the 1080p better for smaller files or would you recommend the newest 1440 ok? I don’t want to big of files and wondered if the 1080p was plenty good.
We find that 1080p is just fine for this type of project. If you currently have the 1080p cameras, I would keep those. Otherwise, we would go for the 1440p.

So they discontinued the Polaroid Cube. What are you guys using these days as a replacement??
@DaGrisa We are mostly getting the GoPro Max now. Here is a link:
And we typically order these SD cards:
And on the mounts, we use the official one. Here is a link:
