I'm usually too focussed on riding to dig my phone out of my bag and take my glove off to take a photo, say when a cute bunny is hanging out by the side of the trail for a few seconds.
lots of bullet points, maybe I am in fantasy land?
maybe I should just put a cheap, lightweight camera in an easy to access pocket, that works with gloves on? I have a point and shoot that is the size of a deck of cards, but I can't imagine having it flapping around in my shorts pocket. How about something tiny that can fit in one of those CamelBak strap front pockets?
- I'd like a way to take still images with my gloves on, and without digging in a bag, within a few seconds of seeing an opportunity (I'd rather not have to wait for the camera to boot up and power on).
- If it is shooting a stream of pics all the time, I'd like a way to turn it on/off easily with my gloves on. I mostly don't want to be taking pics of randos, who might be screaming "turn it off!"
- I don't care about video, no one wants to watch my rides (except maybe at 100x playback speed).
- Since I am getting started, I don't think it is a good idea to spend more than $100 to maybe $200 on this idea
- If it is helmet mounted I don't want to look like a Borg
- The only old cellphone I could sacrifice to this cause is an iPhone 4, and I am not sure how that would work well compared to a smaller camera with a push button or continuous recording
