who wants to walk around as a tourist with a camera strapped to their head?

To each their own...

Have you done so yourself? or even know anyone who has done so?
guessing the answer is “no but..”

and if so..perhaps there’s a pretty good reason

Wouldn't the guy get a stiff neck after 5 minutes?

The "guy" is me. No, I didn't get a stiff neck, I was perfectly fine just as I am when I wear my bike helmet for actual biking.

I wore the helmet with the camera running in time lapse mode for the entire 2 1-/2 hour duration of the 10km fun run. In fact, I wore it while biking from home to the run, while waiting for the run to start, during the run, and then while I biked back home again. What you see in the video are excerpts from the captured footage.

It was powered via USB cable to a power pack I carried in my pocket. I also carried a handheld camera for selfies and other shots.
