Go Pro and Forcite News

Forcite Helmet and Indian Pursuit were a good match.
 The Publisher sent me a link to a patent filing by Go Pro Camera, for a smart helmet.

This is a good development. 

Since Go Pro acquired Forcite Helmets it's been a black hole of info from either party since original announcements.

I dug a bit deeper today and Go Pro have filed a raft of patents for all types of camera-equipped helmets - industrial etc.

I'm still using the Forcite for touring and video production work and it has some very useful applications.

I still pick up the Arai if its day-to-day, but I do look forward to seeing what Go Pro tech can do with the camera.

Go Pro financials aren't that strong currently and they too have been mentioned as a possible takeover target. 

They have just released a new batch of cameras that are cinema quality - one with interchangeable pro glass - so a new helmet could be a seller, but it's not a huge market either.
 
Watching with interest.
