Review on GoPro Chest Mount Harness Official by Mike Ogunlana

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect - READ IF YOU HAVE MOUNTING OVERLAP PROBLEMS

This is probably my favorite GoPro accessory aside from the floating grip. The straps are made from a very high quality stretch fabric that looks and feels like it will never lose its stretch. The clips are very thick plastic and the brackets that attach the straps to the mount are metal, the mount is also metal. I have no doubts that this item will last a long time. You might think something like this would be uncomfortable to wear, but it really isn't. Immediately after unpacking I put it on and the adjustment was already perfect. I'm about 5ft 7in, 130lbs and the camera was about right in the middle of my chest. The footage will be a bit shaky and like I said the straps are so comfortable you won't even notice you're wearing them. over a foot and a half of space to accommodate taller individuals. One thing to note is that this does NOT come with a pouch for your GoPro which you will need to attach to most accessories so keep that in mind. Now I want to draw attention to one thing that many have said in other reviews. The gimbal camera mount flips when you first get it. Why they send them like that I'm not sure. , but it's pretty easy to flip it right side up; The mount is the same as any other GoPro mount accessory, it's a slide-and-lock (as opposed to bolt-on) type. Squeezing the two ends together and pushing them out can be quite difficult at first, but they will eventually pop out if you push them hard enough. There is a second option if you don't want to change the mount at all; Most GoPros have an "Inverted" setting that you can set so your footage is flipped right side up. It will still work, but flipping the mount properly is definitely not as difficult as people make it out to be. In short: great product, lasts a long time and folding the holder is easy.
