Brave 7 LE

I use an akaso branded action cam (brave 7le). It makes decent videos. I can use the gopro app to make ai generated clips if i choose. I also have a tg6 and video light. If it’s just for you to share with friends and reminisce about your dives, akaso is sufficient.

If you insist on a budget option still so you have a new cam, the only one I know which is decent is the Akaso Brave 7 LE which has a front-facing s

I'd go with an Akaso Brave 7 LE to start with. Under $150 and comes with a bunch of accessories. It won't be perfect, but it will work and lets him see if he likes doing it before you invest in a $400+ GoPro, DJI, or Insta360 camera.
