GoPro Chest Mount Harness for HERO Cameras

Product Information

Some are, and some aren’t. Any camera that uses the three-piece mount can use all of the GoPro accessories with the same feature. Another advantage of the helmet mount is that you can choose different positions to adjust the camera height. You can use a front-facing head mount, a chin mount, a strap mount to position the action camera on top, or a side mount. After all, it’s going to be protecting an expensive camera – you don’t want it to be flying off on the first jump or dive! You’ll probably also want to invest in an action camera protector or case to prevent lens and screen damage.

But, one of the beauties of using this brand is the vast array of accessories they’ve made for all kinds of activity from vlogging to skiing. The chest mount can also be restrictive, although some come with a pad that makes the hard plastic portion of the mount at least a little more comfortable to wear. 7. The Shoulder Mount Pelking Shoulder Mount If you’re going to be close-up to the planes, for example at an airfield or airshow, the Chesty is good to have for POV footage.Generally speaking though, whatever extreme sport you’re into, the GoPro accessories that are best are going to be those that help you maximise your battery life, protect it from the elements, and help you mount your GoPro on your body or equipment in a way that won’t get in the way of your fun. The Stuntman 360 shoulder mount uses a 360 degree ball joint design which allows you to point your camera in any direction, adustable with a single thumb screw. You can mount the action camera in four mounting points in front, on top and behind our shoulder. A finger grip mount is very similar in design to pulling the trigger of a firearm, only instead, the finger is holding the camera. With a circular grip that also has a supporting half-round clip, the finger grip mount enables for pointing the camera anywhere, secure in the knowledge that the camera won’t slip out of one’s hand, or slip away from where it’s pointed. The finger grip usually has an articulation range of about 120°, too, for some fine-tuning of the angle. The only downside is that the finger grip only works with the Sony line of action cameras, but it can also come with an optional LCD screen. 12. The Magnetic Mount SnapMount It’s light, compact, durable, and has loads of accessories to help you maximize your travel videos regardless of the type of trip you’re taking. For anyone buying second-hand older models, although quite a few of the different mounts will be compatible, you might have to do a bit of digging around online to confirm before parting with your hard-earned money.

One of the advantages is that it provides more stability than having the action camera on the head (less camera shake leads to higher quality video footage). It’s also quite comfortable to wear with most sports clothing.The chest mount is another popular choice to capture hands-free pov footage with the best GoPro you currently own. When you mount action cameras to your chest using the body mount described above, your hands and arms often get in the way of your video footage. By using your shoulder as a camera mount, this gets rid of this problem. So, while the chest is one of the most steady parts of your body which will help to reduce unwanted camera movement, a chest mount won’t provide you with the greatest angle of view.
