Would MSV have taken that view so you have to hire one of their cameras? Cynical I know but more than possible I reckon, prob call it a safety issue though

just had a reply from Mark at FE,MSV have banned tank and helmet cameras on safety grounds,they say tank ones are too near the throat and face when behind the bubble and pose to great a risk,helmet ones compromise the helmet by creating a concentrated impact point preventing the helmet from doing its job properly,all other fixing points for cameras are allowed so its not a total ban just a bummer for anyone who has got a tank mount for there camera.
