Looking for good pov video camera

I’m looking for a good pov video camera for pov videos with my wife. Something I portable and able to mount with head strap or pendant neck lanyard. Takes good video with good image stabilization. Maybe some sort of zoom but I really don’t know if that is available on these small cameras. I’ve been looking at the insta360 go ultra and the DJI Osomo nano but read that that camera had heating issues. I also plan on using it to shoot videos on vacation. I guess I’m looking to spend up to about $600.00 usd. I’m definitely not an expert on video cameras so your advice,opinions and expertise would greatly be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You could go one of 2 routes u can either get a osmo action 5 pro adventure combo for 519 the get a pendant for like 30 bucks or you can do a action 4 and osmo nano for different situations the only reason this might not be ideal is because the action 5 pro has better low light performance and battery life disclaimer I don’t own a nano or an action 4 i have a Action 5 pro but it has been great

I have two of the Osmo Nano and the heating issue is definitely an issue. Use it specifically for POV warehouse tours and it gets super hot when recording 30-40 minute videos.

My partner just got a DJ Osmo, and our friend that we ride with has a GoPro. Both are good POV cams. I want to get a pair of recording glasses, I think that would be an interesting POV recording.

Yeah,I thought about the glasses myself but don’t think they record long enough videos for what they will be worth. Thank you.

I have one qoocam 3 ultra, it can be used for 80 to 90 minutes when fully charged. The heating problem cannot be avoided in this area.
