This page collects resources related to the recent wave of #GoPro -like mini cameras that often have features like: * waterproof and impact-resistant cases * WiFi connectivity * light weight (~50-60 grams) These cameras vary widely in quality, from excellent (#GoPro cameras themselves, or #GitUp cameras which can do 4k with very clear crisp imagery) to [relatively low quality](/questions/warren/05-20-2017/cheap-lightweight-gopro-alternatives-for-aerial-mapping) which may still be useful depending on your use case and budget.
