Which bike camera should I get?

RIDEYE
My Rideye camera started only focusing very close. Too close to be useful. I tried to contact the company, but to luck. Word on the web is that they are having issues...

Here;s the video of my problem. I tried to take the camera apart. I removed every screw, but no matter how hard I pull I can't slide the circuit board out.

 What should I replace it with? Not another Rideye. The Fly12 costs too much and I don't need its light, or the other features.

I'd like a small, simple camera with a GoPro mount that cycles like a security cam, overwriting old footage. I'd like reasonable battery life. I'd like it to be affordable (I mean cheap,if possible.)

 Hints?

  1. If the lens is pushed back it will shorten the focal length. I saw this disassembly info. Have you tried it? https://ifixit-guide-pdfs.s3.amazonaws.com/pdf/ifixit/guide_54577_en.pdf
