Customer Reviews

Not great for biking (or possibly motocross)
I have the GoPro Hero HD Helmet and I did not like its performance on the helmet. It shook/rattled too much, made the action look very slow, and has clearance problems with brush/trees. To reduce rattle and make the action a bit faster, I'm opting to lower the camera closer to the ground. I went with this since I figured getting my arms and handlebar in the shot would be a cool PoV.

I tried this chest harness for biking (I ride both on and off road) and find that it doesn't allow enough upward tilt to be used on the bike. You'll be taking a video of your bike's front end and your knees unless you ride without hands. As a simple fix, I ended up having to add 2 adjustment legs to get it to tilt back far enough to even get a decent point of view. Now that I got it to get a decent point of view, I notice that it captures a lot of wind noise. It still has issues with shaking and rattling, but not as noticeable as on the helmet.

If the bike mount didn't get bad reviews for being flimsy, I would've liked to try that. I think I'll get the rollbar mount and see if to mounts to my [front] suspension fork lowers or downtube as an upgrade to this.
GoPro Chest Harness
I recently purchased an GoPro HD helmet-cam and this mount has made my skiing video's look stable as compared to using the helmet or head band mount that's included in the package. I guess its skiing style but I tend to move my head around more often then my chest. My chest is typically looking downhill in the direction of the fall line making for a stable platform keeping my viewers from getting sick. This is an accessory item that you should consider purchasing if you like making skiing or biking video's. I'm a big guy (6ft 225lbs)so I was concerned about this thing fitting me but to my pleasure I found that the straps are adjustable, stretch & a buckle next to the camera mount makes for quick removal. Also, it's easy to turn the camera on and start a video shoot with the camera being so close to your chest. I highly recommend using one of these if you want stable looking video's. I give it a thumbs up!
must have if you have a gopro
does better video capturing with less shaking compared to helmet cam placement. fits well and almost can't tell it's there whereas with helmet cam placement the weight of the camera is noticeable on the head
