Got a gobro for my birthday. I have a helmet mount but find that I prefer watching most footage from chest cams. There are tons on amazon for $9-40 for the real thing. Has anybody bought one that's held up and worked well? I'm fairly average in size so I'm not worried about fit/sizing, but I'd like to make sure it'll last for at least a season of occasional riding.

If you like chest mounted shots get this
http://www.amazon.com/Feiyu-FY-WG-MINI-2-Axis-Wearable-Gimbal/dp/B016S285AA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1463155424&sr=8-3&keywords=gopro+stabilizer+gimbal+wearable

For 9$ more you get the chesty and all the mounts..

edit: nevermind just realized thats just a 2axis one...wouldnt really work for a bike...need a 3axis

double edit: actually I think the 2axis would be fine..didnt realize you can change the orientation of the camera

killer footy for da boys!! ^



i have the go-pro brand chesty.. i like it, great angle..comfortable.. but in the rough the camera bounces around alot.. maybe tightening the straps will be better

I have a cheapie one, so does everybody I know with a GoPro, whatever the cheapest one available with Prime is, that's the best one to get. I would also look at the mount bundles like this http://www.amazon.com/LifeLimit-Accessories-Starter-Enabled-Cameras/dp/B00XHSKKXE/ref=sr_1_5?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1463156830&sr=1-5&keywords=gopro+accessories Unless you only ever plan on using is chest mounted.

I just Velcro it to my chest hair.

I already have a starter kit with a couple of stick on helmet jams, my helmet came with a stick on, and my wife got me a headband mount...just need the chesty to accompany it/as an alternative.

I have the CamKix one, blue. Sorta works with my el-cheapo xinese cam.

I saw a girl on CraigsList down in Oakland advertising cheap chesties

Just get the gopro branded one, flip the orientation to upsideown and set the thing at a 45, works fine. That said I only use mine for photos and hate it because I feel like an idiot with it on. The only good way to do it is with a gimbal but I don't give a damn about video so take it for what it's worth.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

I have the GoPro harness and it works.

If you´re using a Leatt Brace, just stick a mount to that. It stays in place better than the chest mount, with less trail chatter being tranferred to the cam, is cheap and you don´t have to use (additional) straps around your chest. It´s even in a better position since it sits higher up and gives a more accurate take of the riders view.

I´ve bought myself a cheap china mount from amazon for skiing though. It looks like the Smatree one. Seems good quality so far, and for the price i can buy 10 more before i hit the pricetag of the original GoPro. Seems good enough for me. I don´t think you can go wrong with any that has a decent rating on amazon or other sites like that.

I ended up with the smatree one. It seemed to have the highest ratings for the price. I agree that 6 of these equals one of the real deal, and after recieving it, I can see why...it's a pretty simple piece of gear. Now to shoot shitty, slow gopro footage to speed up and post on pinkbike.
