I suppose it might be a good option for some, depending on where and how it's going to be mounted but my biggest issue was the built in SD card. Storage gets corrupted and it's a paperweight.
OK good points.

I don't really care about mounting options since I always design and 3D print my own anyway, even when I owned a GoPro. I didn't realize that an added SD card wasn't an option, but I guess I'd be willing to risk it since I've never had an SD card fail and I would just be buying a 32G card and putting it in forever anyway.

Still, quite a bummer. It's amazing that it's so hard to buy a camera with a 6 hour battery life. I really don't consider having to run cables to the camera to be a viable option. Just one big thing to break, a huge point of vulnerability in what should be a robust system.
