Not sure if I'll ever get an opportunity like this again, so I'd like to record as much of the excavation as I can!

I'd need a cam that performs well at short range. 1080p is fine.

Waterproof would be a plus, it shouldn't be getting submerged at all but rain is always a risk.

Something with an optional lens protector maybe? It might be very dusty depending on recent rain, and I don't want dust to damage the actual lens.

Not expecting to find something that can record continuously for the entire day, but the more battery life the better! Having swappable batteries would also be a plus.
