yes, still up for grabs. the AS100V says it is "splashproof" and I believe the 300 one should be much better in that regard. but I'm not sure as I don't use them underwater or in heavy rain etc. they both come with additional plastic housing, which is supposedly improving the waterproof capabilities. sony has this to say for the 300 model: https://www.sony.com/electronics/actioncam/hdr-as300-body-kit


Rugged shielding for real-world conditions
You're ready to shoot with the right protection. The Action Cam body alone is splashproof and freezeproof, and supplied Underwater Housing
is dustproof, shockproof and waterproof to 197 ft/60 m.

battery life has been constant throughout (no drop in battery performance at all). I believe you have about 2h of continuous video shooting in the highest resolution and frames per minute on both models. this is what I use for my commutes, which can be 50 to 90 minutes, depending on the route. so I never actually exhaust the batteries completely. I have one spare battery also, almost unused: 2 cams come with 3 batteries, which are interchangeable and can be used on both models

full disclosure, the older model AS100V has lost the USB port door, and the battery cover is also slightly loose (it can be locked). of course, the camera is almost never used without the outer protective casing, so this doesn't matter in practice. anyway, the older one is still perfectly functional, but 90% of value in this deal comes from the newer model (and also all the attachments, which are all original Sony and can add up quite a bit - not included with the cameras either, have to be bought separately)

lol. I actually live in Sagamihara but really close to Machida Station. Where abouts do you cycle?

I usually head out past Hashimoto and down to the mountains around Sagami dam. I like riding in the mountains. Feel free to come sometime.

Sorry, had to leave Japan. I also sent you a message, hope you received that.

If I can find a buyer for the frameset - then yes I would be willing. Ultimately I am wanting to pick up @TheAussieinJapan's road bike he has up for sale. If I can get away with swapping the Vassago for the Trek - I don't have to deal with any spousal backlash.
