 Not great for biking (or possibly motocross) July 26, 2010
D. Vu (Newburgh, NY)
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.

I just wonder if the manufacture of the GoPro could make the ring that surrounds the lens taller and wider so that the lens can be protected from accidental scratches. I learned my lesson the hard way. I was hiking and jumping rocks at the Joshua Tree National Park with the chest mount harness on. An accidental touch with a rock scratched the lens of the camera box and I ended up ordering the replacement lens kit. Well, just be careful while wearing it. I got great video clips though.

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!
Great, simple mount February 7, 2010

This is a great mount for any activity where you are facing forward. It is not so great for sideways facing activities (aka snowboarding, skateboarding). It is very comfortable and well made. It does what it should.

This product is fantastic. I bought it for my husband to use with the GoPro Hero HD camera, and he loves it. The straps are adjustable, and you can really capture great video while wearing this harness without the fear of something happening to the camera. My husband thinks it is better than mounting the camera on a helmet. This is a great buy for capturing video in action (riding on an ATV, motorcycle, etc.).
