The 4 way team I video have Go Pro's on their helmets, Z1's I believe, they like them for checking levels. I got a little too close to the burble once and fell through the middle. We noticed after the jump that I had broken the plastic mount when I hit them. They didn't have cameras installed at the time, just the mount, and I broke the mount itself not the tape, that's some strong tape.
I didn't have 200 jumps when I started, and I'm probably not as good as I would've been had I waited.
Bear in mind that your body mass hitting a piece of plastic is significantly different than a snag point.
You may be better at flying camera because you started early, but there also may be some basic principles missed. I had 500 belly camera jumps before I put on a wingsuit for real, but didn't put on a camera with my wingsuit til I had 200 wingsuit jumps (OK, not quite true, I put a camera on somewhere around 80 wingsuit jumps and got zilch). I learned a lot about flying a wingsuit before I put the cam on my head.
EVERYTHING is a trade-off. You can't have one thing without it costing somewhere else.
