Is it safe to wear?

The FIT0701 camera can be useful for quick prototyping of object detection projects, but it isn’t the best fit for a wearable device like a GoPro. Its low resolution (640×480), USB 2.0 interface, and rolling shutter limit image quality and performance when dealing with fast motion, small objects, or low-light scenarios. For wearable applications, you’ll often need higher resolution, faster frame rates, and sturdier connections to handle movement and vibrations.

If you still want to experiment with the FIT0701, it works fine for close-range detection in good lighting, especially with lightweight models like Tiny YOLO. Just keep in mind that the lack of stabilization and low resolution means accuracy will drop as soon as motion blur or distance comes into play. For a more robust wearable system, consider MIPI CSI cameras with higher megapixel counts, global shutter options, and wider fields of view.

For inspiration, here is a great project write-up on a DIY motorized camera slider with object tracking. While it’s not a wearable camera, the blog shows how to combine electronics, mechanics, and tracking algorithms to improve camera performance in dynamic conditions. The principles—stabilization, enclosure design, and integration of control systems—are directly relevant if you want to move from simple prototyping toward a reliable wearable setup. https://www.pcbway.com/blog/Activities/DIY_MOTORISED_CAMERA_SLIDER_WITH_OBJECT_TRACKING.html
