The short answer
Among units with a stated weight under 1 kg, FlightScope Mevo+ (0.45 kg), Mevo Gen2 (0.5 kg) and Voice Caddie SC4 Pro (0.59 kg) are the lightest. Stated battery life runs from 3 h (Mevo+) to 10 h (Garmin R10 and SC4 Pro). Garmin R10 and Rapsodo state no weight.
Lightest stated: Mevo+ 0.45 kg, Mevo Gen2 0.5 kg, SC4 Pro 0.59 kg.
“Portable” is our reading of a battery-powered unit; no maker defines it except Uneekor, which lists the EYE MINI LITE as “not portable”. Units are sorted by stated weight, then by the rest.
