Have you ever strapped a go pro to your head? It's heavy and really throws you off. I think they've found that if you add battery capacity, you also increase the weight, which reduces the number of places you can use it.

Did you see the video on the page with the girl skateboarding? And holding the camera outstretched from her arm? It's really hard holding something heavy that far from your body while also doing things that require balance.

Bring a battery pack that you can stick in your back pack. But keep the camera lightweight!

As a motorcyclist, I just want them to innovate the painfully obvious feature of a waterproof pass-through for power. I have a Hero Session, which is a delightful small item, but you can only feed power to it by opening the waterproof cover.

You’d think inductive charging through the waterproof cover would be trivial.
