"All helmets must be intact and no modification may be made to their construction that alters the helmet from the condition it was tested and approved. The helmet is made to provide protection and is not a platform to attach foreign objects. For example, cameras or other accessories are NOT permitted to be attached to the rider’s helmet."
What about visor extenders? Vent plugs? Camelbaks?
It sounds like this applies to helmet fins, as well.

I can support banning cameras and lit pros on the exterior of the helmet. But this rule would include extensions on visors. Who is that protecting?
Vurb is finally back and now can’t mount on helmets. Tough gig.

We're seeing similar rules / recommendations adopted in other sports that the AMA has zero 'influence' in. Also some of the leading representatives of our moto industry helmet brands are vehemently against having cameras on helmets, from a safety POV. So much so there is extremely heated discussions behind closed doors and some top factory riders aren't allowed to wear helmet cams if they are riding in said helmet companies products.
But yeah... sure.
