I am associated with a club of Gyroplane pilots who fly out of NW Georgia. Of late, we have discovered fairly inexpensive Chinese GoPro knock-off cameras from http://www.banggood.com. About a half dozen of our pilots are flying with these now without a dud in the bunch.
I have used the $49.00 model I bought as a hat-brim camera on the kayak with good results. The price allows for the option of several cameras while still spending less than one REAL GoPro. I have not tested how watertight the enclosures are, but they seem fairly serviceable.
There are also really low-priced (some under $20.00) cameras designed for drone operations that could be scattered around a yak if one is adept at editing and combining multiple videos, although they are not waterproof.
