Any hi-tech guys here?
I知 struggling to find a portable solar panel charger for camcorders. From the camcorder list I知 planning to buy, the battery is recharged from a wall plug in (connected to the camcorder which has a battery). Panels I found use a USB cable to charge electronic device. I want to carry a small camcorder, handycam style, for my 12 days hunt in the mountains this August and I知 not very interested to carry a bunch of spare batteries (weight and cost).
So I would like to find a way to charge the battery while I知 off the grid in paradise, the mountains. While taking this into consideration, a product that doesn稚 cost an arm and a leg would be great. But the main aspect I知 interested about is a low weight and small volume/compact charger.
I appreciate any suggestion

With a female cigarette lighter adapter I could use as inverter for the camcorder charging cables?
