Plenty of us have need for cameras mounted to ourselves so our hands can remain free for work, such as sitting inside of a highly dangerous mine while trying to extract 20+ pound chunks of fluorite and capture the awesomeness of pulling the mineral right out of the ground after millions of years of formation.

I'm aware of things like caving, exploring mines, and amateur gold-prospecting as a pass-time, but I've not heard about digging up minerals for fun.
All of the above and more. I'm invested in it enough that I'm going to become Vice President for California's oldest mineralogical society next year, most likely.
"I've not heard about digging up minerals for fun."
You've never gone rockhounding or had some sort of rock collection when you were a child?
I've already got a lot of outdoor hobbies - underwater archaeology, caving, and recently took up cave-diving - so it's interesting to hear about something related. Thanks!
All of the manufacturers are in big trouble.
there is literally ZERO reasons that camera needs to say GoPro, Nikon, Garmin,
or Sony when the Chinese version will do the same for a fraction of the cost.
But relying on a mass market outlook when the product is becoming a niche (or maybe a set of niches), that is going to lead to trouble.
That doesn't make it less of a reason for it to be a popular category.
The Chinese don't even have an actual clue about what constitutes HD. To them, it's any wide-screen format (as evidenced by my "HD Camera Glasses" which only records at 720x480.)
