Default Hand crank machine questions

Hi all,
Often I am wanting to have the option for portability when doing my straight stitch sewing, as in piecing my quilts. I would rather have one that is not electric.
I've been researching hand crank machines for some time, but I just don't know enough about them...
Can I get some feedback as to what you all think about them, what brand and model would be good to check out?

I have several vintage machines, including my great grandmother's Singer 66 treadle in its original cabinet. Ma did have an electric motor added to the machine as well.
But I'm thinking a machine that is not as heavy would be a better way to go.

Thanks in advance!
Kif
