Camera for EMTB recommendation?

Hello everyone. I'm starting to think that a camara would be a cool accesorie when I ride ans since the range of prices is huge, I was wondering if any of you have some recommendations of an specific camera or tips to choose it wisely. Thanks in advance!

If you’re planning to record your rides, I’d recommend looking into an action camera like a GoPro or DJI Osmo Action. They’re compact, durable, and offer good video quality with image stabilization, which is important when riding. I’d also consider battery life, mounting options, and how well it performs in low light before making a decision. You don’t necessarily need the newest model either; an older model in good condition could be great and save you some money.

A regular DSLR camera is too heavy to carry on your rides. A mirrorless with a small lens, maybe. There are harnesses (such as the European "CCS G3 Grey Harness for One Camera × 1 by Cotton.eu) that allow carrying a camera safely on your chest while riding.

However, I stopped carrying the DSLR on my rides due to its sheer weight. Most users here prefer using premium smartphones for photography on the rides (including me). An action camera is a good idea as well.
