Very lightweight camera
Discussion
Bit of an unusual one and may well turn out to be a rubbish idea. I'm quite into my off-road running and some races take me some rather pretty places. So it'd be nice to either take some photo's or video's - not to show off, just for me to remember the event by. The issue with that idea is weight - I begrudge even taking a smartphone with me as the extra 150-200g is something I've spent a lot of money trying to shave off elsewhere.
So I'm looking for a very lightweight camera. First thought was a GoPro at around 100g, but a) I'm being a wimp but it's a bit heavy, and b) cost - waaay too much for my budget.
For my needs the ideal would be around 50-70g weight and smartphone quality camera. Some sort of weatherproofing preferable. I'm not overly fussy about either stills or video, I just want something to remind myself in greater detail than my hazy memory of the day.
Does anyone have any experience of something like the Veho Micro or something similar, or another bright idea? I know I'm going to sacrifice quality and that bouncing around without a gimbal isn't going to look fantastic, I'm trying to be pragmatic on that front.
