Can't remember how much the Gopro weighs, but it must be a fair bit more than that. I'm pretty pleased with it, though! so far it has only been used perched onto a bit of a historic building taking video of Regency dancing, and shoved into a loft space on a stick, to save me the effort of going up there. I will soon buy an R/C rock crawler, which will be used to take the camera a few places where I can't legally access, hopefully without being noticed, or run over by a steam train...
