Hi, I’m in the US and non-car safety is appalling. I live in a semi-urban area and get nearly hit, obstructed or aggressively cut off at crosswalks or driveways nearly every single time I run, which is every other day.

Rather than try to make the case with stats showing no local enforcement of pedestrian code, I’ve decided for my and likely my future lawyers sale I should just record and montage it. When I’m inevitably disabled or killed by one of these selfish dumbasses, at least it will make for simple settlements, and prosecutions .

I’m in the market for a headmounted/head strap camera, preferably with a microphone option. I googled a bit and there are some go-pro-ish options but they all seem pretty big and heavy, made for mountain biking or swimming, etc. anyone have ideas or links for a lighter option? Don’t need 4k and 400gb of storage, just enough for an hour or video and audio at reasonable resolution.

TIA

    Yes, I personally have chosen to stop running anywhere cars go, and found I enjoy the sport of trail running more, but I am fortunate that gravel trails (or real trails) are very available to me. It takes me out of the flow to deal with stopping at intersections, regardless of car presence or not.

    Anyway not disregarding your experience, or route limitations. Just considering options
