This is probably a dumb question but what are some good cheaper cameras for just filming an entire session on a rail? I don't always have people to film me and sometimes i just want to film an entire session on a tripod or whatever but editing out a 10 minute clip every time I land the trick im going for is a pain so I was looking at the gopro hero 9 for the hindsight feature but it seems kind of pricey and I'm just wondering about other cheaper cameras that are similar just for filming an entire session and getting new clips on a rail without having to convince my friends to film me for an hour while i try elusives over and over again

Hero 8 with tri pod. You can prolly find it on sale. Turn on voice mode and you can tell it to start recording before you hit it and tell it to stop after. I think even the 7 has this featrue

Def a gopro, you could find a cheaper used one from previous years ago. For warmer weather even a phone setup shooting in a lower res won't fill up and die
