We’re all guilty of forgetting to take our cameras out to capture those special moments on nights out or when hanging with friends, but what if you could have a wearable camera? Wouldn't that solve all your #firstworldproblems? Cue the MeCam wearable camera. The ultra-lightweight gadget can be clipped to your clothes so that it’s ready to capture moments on the go.

For such a [small accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insta360-go-ultra), it sure does pack a punch. MeCam has been designed to shoot in low/dark light conditions by using Infrared LED lights. The teeny camera can even capture [video and audio footage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindclip) in 720 pixels once it’s within 20 feet of you. It also features a 4GB microSD card.
