All good for water sports, hell no i'm not strapping a spear to my back just so I can watch me go slow on a GoPro
The clamping force between the poles can be adjusted so they will collapse under heavy load
In addition, they have possibility to mount the poles directly to the frame - video will not be as stable but if your are looking for still images it would be good enough. see the following video with more technical explanation:

Hell, imagine RV wearing one of those for our "Lap around the Track" at Red Bud...The POV would be damn spectacular.
Oh, also, the BFRO (Bigfoot field research organization) from "Finding Bigfoot" uses something like this to so you can see their faces when their walking through the woods.
Perfect for what I do. Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to getting it when it releases.
This on the other hand is amazing IMHO... expensive, but amazing.

Sorry guys for the sales speech, but for those of you who are considering such a system please understand:
1. ball joins give great flexibility, however they cannot withstand heavy load. That's means that during any high acceleration / deceleration move that you will do, the joint will collapse. They are designed for short boom poles of few inches that do not provide a 3rd person POV. After 2-3 times of collapsing through your ride, you will stop using the system. It maybe safe, but just doesn't do the job for these kind of systems and applications
On the other hand, Wizmount joints can withstand close to 20G for cameras like GoPro - around 4 times more compared to ball joint (both tested by us). If you want to adjust them to the same force of the ball joint, you can do that as well.
2. In order to achieve a stable video you must have a rigid stable system. The base plate inside the backpack must be firmly attached to the pack and should be rigid. Any other solution will result in a shaky video. Riding on the road with short pole behind the back might be OK, but for the extreme stuff that you want shoot, you must have a rigid and strong system. At the same time you must have a high quality backpack for your comfort. Wizmount backpack is in the league as Camelbak and Dakine hydration packs.
Soon, you will be able to judge for yourself. We start shipping in 2 weeks from now
