POV Camera

I've tried hot shoe mounting. It's not a good idea. Firstly because you only get to see a bts when you lift up the camera and not before that and when a moment comes up to click, you first have to start the recording on gopro first  which may lead to miss the moment

With a 360 degree camera you would be recording yourself as well, and if you crop away, it's just a waste of megapixels. It's better to mount a cheaper action cam on your hot shoe. I'm sure horizon leveling would be a trivial job.

I'm looking to get a POV camera to supplement my street photography and make a BTS video with it.

The obvious choice is of action camera, which open a pandora box of comparisons between latest Gopros or DJI action Cam 5 or Insta 36 Ace pro, or just get an old Gopro as that might suffice the purpose.

Another option is to get a 360 camera like Insta360 x4 which will eliminate the need to align the horizon and framing.

Looking to hear from you guys on this topic that might help me in the decision making.
