I'm now on the hunt for a new camera.. I might get the Hero 11 Mini in a few weeks when it drops or maybe something else.
I eyeballed the Garmin RCT715 (could replace my RTL 515) but it does not have image stabilization and it's 1080p @ 30 FPS only.
Yesterdays ride was without a camera and I felt naked without it. I assume all my rides until I get a replacement will feel the same.. Since my accident I just don't feel comfortable rolling without a camera.

yeah, don't get something w/o image stabilization. I almost can't even watch my old videos unless it was hand-held stuff
btw - I got my Gopro8 pre-owned & refurbed off Amazon. seems to work perfectly
but always nice to upgrade! ;-) ;-)
