I'm a little late with this reply, but out of curiosity, did you have any trouble wearing gloves with knuckle guards after your boxer's fracture healed? I got the same fracture back in September of 2013 and I recently got a surgery to get the alignment corrected. The knuckle looks better but obviously it can never be perfectly back to the way it was before the break. So again, any trouble with the displaced knuckle in knuckle-plated gloves?

That camera mount will be way to shakey. No, that camera won't fit in a gopro housing.
Head mount is kind of high but smoothest, and the chest mount is the best angle, but still can be shakey unless you strap it very tightly.

The bone that I broke was the Metal Carpal (between the wrist and the knuckle under my pinkie finger), and the gloves that I use are just padded on the palms. Sorry I can't really help answer your question.

Boxer's fractures always occur in the metacarpal, that's where mine was too. It's just that when you get a boxer's fracture, it often results in the affected metacarpal losing prominence in its knuckle. I understand what you're saying though, and thank you for the timely response, I greatly appreciate it!
