78/100 · $84.99 · ★4.5

The value pick of the group: 2.7K (1944P) front on a STARVIS 2 IMX675 plus a 1080P rear for well under $100. Built-in GPS and app control that usually cost more, though the bundled 4G LTE features lean on a paid data plan.

REDTIGER F7N — 4K front + 1080P rear
78/100 · $129.99 · ★4.4

The volume best-seller here, with 25k+ ratings: 4K front plus 1080P rear, WiFi and GPS in an affordable bundle. A wide 170° front lens is generous, though that width brings more edge distortion than the tighter VIOFO optics.
