Maybe the problem isn't the bails, I've seen the zinger bails close up and they are similar weight, shape and size to traditional bails.
The problem might be the light up camera stumps, they are very different to normal stumps and covered in vinyl decals which softens and contact between the stump and ball. They also have a deeper seat for the bail at the top of the stump, to prevent stumps and bails randomly flashing when it's windy or as the bowler runs past during a delivery stride.
Yeah, that could definitely be an issue if that is the case, surely the depth of the groove is written into the rules of cricket !
