    I don’t like anything expensive being baked into a consumable item, like a helmet.

    Design better cameras that are more compatible with helmet use, but let helmets just be helmets.

      I’d be more OK with this if it were a modular system available to other brands so if your helmet gets destroyed you can still pop the camera into another helmet (from another brand if the original maker went under or you just preferred another manufacturer). For now, I’m just going to stick with a Ghost Drift mounted to the top of my helmet.

        Sounds like they should license this system out, rather than keep it to themselves.

        At least they’d have their idea in helmet brands that people recognize and don’t mind spending a little extra on.

        The helmet weighs around 500 grams (17.6 ounces).

        This would be a deal-breaker for many, as it’s enough weight to be noticed. This is one reason why I keep my camera on my handlebar.
