Description

Chest-O-Vision.

The GoPro Chest Mount Harness allows you to capture that elusive view of the action from behind the handlebars. If that's what you're after, mounting your GoPro on your head just won't do. It's made of wide, stretchy webbing with sliding strap adjusters to accommodate anyone from petite to sasquatch-sized. The GoPro HD Hero Camera attaches directly to a mount on the sternum and has up/down adjustability.

Out of all the gopro body mounts, the chesty is my favorite, you dont even remember you are wearing it, with the helmet mounts I found my neck could get more fatigued with the extra camera weight pushing down on my head, the bike mounts tend to transfer too much chatter IMO, and I cant image the wrist version would be good the way I tend use the camera.

So I made a chest mount out of the display box and a couple of traps I had lying around. It worked, but the tighter I had it, the less I could breath a haha
So I broke down and bought the real deal because it stretches, so I can breathe, which is good I guess. But its stable, love the angle. I do recommend shooting in upside down mode depending the on the sport.

This mount is bad on pow days as you can't see anything, and it is unstable on the hardpack. Invest your money in a pole mount

Super functional, and easy to adjust for any user. Love the footage from the chest mounts, would definitely recommend it!

Compare the GP chesty (2:20) and head angles while skiing.

The Chesty is nice at it is out of the way and doesn't have the "gaper"look of the GoPro on the top of the helmet. The angle is great for biking as it gives a good perspective of the arms, handlebars, and trail. Unfortunately, isn't ideal for skiing as the lower chest angle doesn't show the terrain as well. Go with the head mount for skiing and take the GP off in the lift line ;)

This chest mount give the best prespective of mountain biking as it gives a better view of the terrain and how the operator handles it. The chest mount is secure and really isn't that uncomfortable to rde extended periods in. It takes a couple times to get the best angle set for shooting though.

This is not good for cycling because the camera is always pointing down towards the ground. I would suggest the helmet mount. I decided to keep it for other sports that require my body to be more upright!

It's one of the best ways to record your rides. No shakiness. It doesn't come with a camera shell.

Have used it for biking recently and the angle is really good. I like the perspective and seeing more arms/knees/bars over the headmount any day. Harness is very well constructed and easy to wear under another pack.

If you are riding a bike, flip the clip so the camera is upside down - you can get the right angle much better that way. Otherwise you are just shooting the toptube all day.

Looking forward to using it skiing!

This is my favorite mount for skiing, I feel it gives the best perspective to the viewr and it's hardly noticeable and the shots seem to come out the smoothest. For easy POV skiing this is the way to go, and it won't look like your 10 ft tall when it's mounted on your head. I also anticipate trying this mount biking, but the angle may be to low. All in all a must have for any go pro user.

This mount is definitely more compatible with skiing than the head mount ( no awkward head bobbles). The filming angle is a little different and at time I prefer using a head mount because it presents a better angle of the scene!

This mount offers a better rider perspective. Getting the set up just right takes a bit of practice so that you don't just have a video of your front tire.

Wondering if this would work well for whitewater rafting.... Or would it be all arms and oars... I have a middle fork permit and would like to get some action shots..

In my opinion kayaking shots work best off a helmet cam or off the end of the kayak

Bought this so I would have yet another place to mount the camera to get different shots. It works great! Seeing as how most of the movement is done below the hips, the camera sways very little, allowing you to get a fairly shake-less shot. I recommend to anyone with a GoPro!!

Didn't really get to play with it all that much because I was fooling around with a dozen other mounting techniques, but from the few times that I did use it, the shots were amazing! Super comfortable, adjustable, and easy to use.

If you want a fixed body mount, and a picture that won't move (as opposed to when it's on your helmet) then get the GoPro Chest Mount. Money well spent!

This setup looks awesome! Does anyone have any experience using the chest mount while fly fishing or other less typical go pro applications?

Thanks a lot

This is a great mount for anything that doesn't involve a helmet. the purpose is really just as a hands free mount.

Chesty over Avalung II and BCA Tracker

I was concerned that it wouldn't really fit correctly on top of an Avalung II or with a Tracker beacon, so I put it all on and it seems to work better than expected... More here: http://www.briangerardsweeney.com/2011/09/winter-expedition-loadout.html
