Video camera recommendations for float plane

[corsair]

Hello.
I am looking for an inexpensive, easy to mount, lightweight video camera to mount on top of my Dynam PBY Catalina. Waterproof, or at least water resistant - would be a plus! Does anyone have any recommendations at all? I am fine if it uses a mini usb card for recording, as I would simply download the recorded videos to my laptop.
Thank you for any and all suggestions.
Regards and respect.
Jim

Hi Jim,
For lightweight and easy-to-mount video cameras, I’d recommend checking out the GoPro HERO Session or the newer GoPro HERO Mini models. They’re compact, pretty lightweight, and have good water resistance (some are even waterproof without a case).
