🎥 Why can't I just use a GoPro or phone mount?
You can, but here's the reality: helmet mounts make you look like a bobblehead and film at a weird angle. Chest mounts film your stem the whole time. Phone mounts? Your phone isn't built for this and the footage is shaky as hell. The QS2s film from eye level—what you see is what gets recorded. Plus, you'll actually remember to use them because they're just sunglasses.
🔋 Does the battery actually last a full session?
Yeah. 2.5 hours continuous recording. That's your whole ride plus the pub after. Charges via USB-C in about 90 minutes. Most riders just charge them overnight and forget about it.
🪖 Will they fit under my helmet?
Yep. Full-face or half-shell, doesn't matter. The frame is designed to sit comfortably under helmet straps. Thousands of riders wearing them with everything from enduro lids to DH buckets.
📹 How's the video quality?
1080p at 60fps with built-in stabilization. It's not cinema-grade, but it's more than good enough for Instagram, TikTok, or showing your mates. The footage is smooth and actually shows the trail properly—not just a blur.
💾 How much footage can I record?
32GB built-in storage. That's about 3+ hours of footage. Most people just transfer their clips after each session and clear it out. Takes like 2 minutes via USB-C.
🌧️ What about rain, mud, and crashes?
Water resistant. They've survived plenty of mud, rain, and stack it. Obviously don't go swimming in them, but normal riding conditions? No problem. They're built for actual MTB use.
What do riders have to say?

★★★★★
Finally caught my first proper gap jump on camera.
Been riding for years but never bothered with a GoPro because of all the mount faff. These? Just put them on and forget about it. Battery actually lasts my whole session.

★★★★★
My mates finally believe I can actually send it.
No more 'pics or it didn't happen.' The footage is buttery smooth and actually shows the line properly. Not filming my stem like chest mounts do.

★★★★★
Survived two months of crashes, mud, and questionable lines.
Honestly thought they'd break first session. Nope. Still going strong. The footage is good enough for Instagram and they charge quick. What more do you want?
