Recommend a cheaper Go Pro alternative for Vlogging/Dashcam? £100/$130 or less

Hi.
Im looking for a cheaper, Go Pro alternative which needs the following:

1. Decent 1080 image quality, dont care much for 4k
2. An EXTERNAL MIC OUTPUT - crucial feature
3. Battery life of at least 2 hours on 1080p
4. Some kind of image stabilisation preferred

Thats basically it. As small as those requirements are in 2019, it seems very few can actually meet them lol. Budget of £100 or less. Dont mind buying from Bangood, Ali Express etc.
So far I have looked at:

1. Those Yi cameras
2. SJcam models (some appear to have external mic features
3. Drift X (my favourite so far although I emailed them today and they said they are working on a new model with better reliability
4. Apeman cameras?
5. Any other chinese brand thats worth a damn

Thanks for reading.

Check out the Gitup G3, available with either a 90º or 170º lens - external microphone available plus 3 hour recording time at 1080p and more.
Edit: Almost forgot, also has loop mode so it will function as a dash cam. Also has G-sensor, motion detection and image stabilization. And WiFi!

How does it compare to the Crosstour 4k which also has an external mic?

I have no idea.

Didn't see they list the hardware spec like sensor. But I am sure it is fake 4K.

Don't waste your time with unknown cameras. Might save few bucks now, you will regret later.
All suggested brands are ok (SJ, YI, Gitup), there is user base and mfg support.
