Hi All, I'm @Lakeman, a Brit who's been living and working in Switzerland for 10 years. Looks like I'll be heading back to the UK in a year or so but it's occurred to me that I don't have any video of road trips round this beautiful country. So I need to set up some sort of video capability. Can I ask for some advice please?
I've read a ton of posts here and reviews elsewhere, and I'm quite confused about whether a dash cam is the best solution or some other sort of video technology (e.g. action cam). The normal dash cam advantages re collision evidence is not my priority though it would be handy to have. I'm looking for something that will capture landscapes so I'm guessing something wide-angle would be best though I'm aware of issues reported with images softening at the edges with v wide lenses. Ideally I'm looking for something that could record rear views and also sometimes side views. So perhaps something that I could manually twist sideways? Or would a 4-camera setup work best? Or am I asking too much?
I'm not a professional vlogger so I can accept some drop in quality if it means a more convenient/flexible setup. Needless to say I don't want to invest in a lot of pricey pro-standard gear but I'm willing to spend a bit if it means getting something that works really well. Does anyone have any suggestions please? Thank you very much in advance.
