Perhaps the mounts could have a break-away binding system. I haven't used a front helmet light but they seem to give a good safety advantage in some situations. On a cold rainy day I was envious of another rider's helmet that had cooling slots taped over with tent tape. Technically applying adhesive stuff can void warranty but actual contact area was minimal. Couldn't helmets have cooling slots that channel rain away & also block direct sun?
Camera mount, yes. Besides vanity, camera could be valuable evidence for car/bike accidents. On USA tv there's ads for a cheap car dash cam--in Russia supposedly dash cams are required equipment due to large amount of insurance fraud.
I now wear my helmet everywhere in large part since the SafeZone helmet-mount mirror obviates needing to rotate head to look behind. Actually I think the SafeZone mirror contributes more to safety than the helmet itself since it allows one to view both front & back near-simultaneously unlike other mirrors I've tried.
