I plan on using the HD GoPro Camera for Snowboarding. Has anyone used this harness for snowboarding? If so, does it work well, or should I avoid the harness and just use the helmet mount? Thanks!

I have tried it and it can be done but like jesse already said you do get a distorted shot. Pole mounts work great for boarding. If you have friends that ski they can probably get some good chase footage of you with the chest mount.

I've seen snowboarding footage with the chest mount and looks pretty cool, but ends up being a little distorted because of the body position. I would recommend the head mount for snowboarding. I have also seen some really good footage from the board mount.
