GoPro Performance Chest Mount (All GoPro Cameras) – Official GoPro Mount

In terms of quality, fit and comfort the chesty is almost perfect. However keep in mind that if you’re using it to capture mountain bike footage it is a little limited on the angle it can be held at. It can only be angled further downwards, not upwards. So unless you only want footage of your bike and 4/5 metres in front of you. You will have to either mount it upside down (and rotate the videos) or buy some form of extension mount.

I’ve tried a couple of different chest mounts for my GoPro 7, and this by far is the best one out there.

I spent most of the weekend wearing it while we were on our dirt biking trip. Once adjusted it fit securely and comfortably with no slipping or moving around. I’m a pretty aggressive rider, and we spent about 6hrs each day out on some pretty nasty mucky trails here in the PNW. Not once did the mount budge, nor did the adjustments ever loosen or stretch. The mount/harness never became uncomfortable, and once I had it on I never really thought about it again. It was easy to reach to turn the camera on and off when not using a remote, as well. The camera remained securely fixed in its position and angle the lens was set at.

I’m not typically someone that is all about a brand name, but so far I really feel like I’ve had the best results from the actual GoPro line of products when I’m using my GP7.

Quello che mi ha spinto a comprare la seconda versione e’ senza dubbio la visione che ne esce dalle riprese a quel tipo di altezza, tra la più naturale a mio avviso se si vuole ottenere degli ottimi timelapse o timewarp.
Questa versione inoltre e’veloce da indossare rispetto al primo modello che si dimostrava più macchinoso.

So far I’ve used both a helmet mount and the chesty for GoPro footage whilst skiing, and found the chesty to be a lot more convenient in terms of both placement and actual footage. If the camera is mounted to your head, you tend to capture all the movements of you looking around to check the slope is clear (which looks even weirder when it’s being stabilised), but with the chesty you don’t have to worry about that. Also a helmet mount + stabilisation makes the footage look as if you’re ‘gliding’, which I personally don’t like.

Much better than the cheaper one I bought first, having bought on of these when I first bought the camera I bought an unbranded one. When I tried it tried it I found it to be annoying to get on and off and eventually the plastic being brittle it snapped so I thought bite the bullet and go for the gopro genuine one. Well, its so much better and worth the extra, the camera quick release locks, the whole thing comes apart from the front not the back, the straps are larger and hold the camera tight to you all of which the cheap one doesn’t do!! My videos are now better as the camera doesn’t move, the camera can’t easily unclip when you don’t want it to say for example it some knocks it accidentally and I can get out of the thing without a second person or being a magician.

This brace is built well. It safely and securely holds my new Hero 7 Black and doesn’t move around any more than I do. It is of good construction, it sits firm on my chest, and it is fairly easy to adjust. I recommend it 100%.

I’ve purchased this for MTB’ing and a Snowboarding trip coming up this season, it far surpasses any of the cheap unbranded items on Amazon so trust me, don’t waste your time buying them because you get 1000 accessories with them.

The fit is snug, it barely moves and it’s quite high on the chest. I can’t see this being a problem with my Hero7 with Stabilisation but you may get some bumps etc (as expected) with the lower models. The backplate isn’t solid, its cushioned and just the right amount of sturdy! The clasp to quickly release is pretty awesome too, making it easy to take it off if you’ve got layers and layers on!

Spend the money, and spend it once on V2 of the Chesty. It comes with the vertical mount too which was a plus for me as I was looking at buying those separate.
