Gathering of Minds is a small business which makes cool 3D printed and textile products you didn’t think you needed until you see them.
Take for instance the Helmet Mounted Battery Cell which mounts to the rear of a helmet to serve as both counterweight and battery storage.
The lid features an O-ring for waterproofness and the container secures to the helmet with Velcro with a stainless steel braided cable back up. Additionally, it will accommodate a single Chemlight at the rear for marking.
The HMBC is currently offered in four models, each designed to carry a different load of batteries.
4 x AA
4 x CR-123A
AA/AAA/ 2 x CR-123A
2 x AA/ 6 x AAA

This has existed for a long time. Nod pod has been making a more streamlined version of this for years.
God forbid we mention someone else creating products.
Am I the only person that thought of the poster from the 80s of the HALO trooper with the Claymore on his helmet? No…just me, ok.
