GoPro Chesty

Product Information

GoPro’s action cameras are a fantastic way to record your activities – but to get the best footage, you’ll need the best GoPro accessories. In addition to the J-hook, this chest mount also offers maximum comfort because of how lightweight the padded straps are. As such, you can easily wear the CamKix Body Mount for hours on end if you have a long GoPro filming session. Adjustability: First of all, you need to ensure your GoPro chest mount is adjustable to fit your body’s size. GoPro chest mounts are one size fits all, so you shouldn’t have any issues fitting one around your body. In fact, every GoPro chest mount on my list should be able to fit your body comfortably.

GoPro’s Hero cameras are rugged, feature in-built mounting points and 10m of waterproofing straight out of the box. While this should see you in good stead for most activities, for more extreme sports and diving, you may wish to consider protection. While some third party options are available, when it comes to waterproofing especially we’d always recommend going for the real deal. As a multi-purpose chest mount, you can use it for mountain biking, snowboarding, snorkeling, and any other outdoor sport that requires using both hands. I personally love using my Sametop Chest Strap Mount Harness when I’m skiing, so I can easily remove the mount when I take shelter at the food court of any ski resort I visit. The MiPremium Chest Mount Harness is a GoPro chest mount that offers a secure grip for your camera, which allows you to record incredibly stable footage. Like the CamKix Body Mount, the MiPremium Chest Mount Harness also features a J-hook, providing a 180-degree tilt. Durability: If you want a GoPro chest mount for extreme action sports or adventures, it needs to be durable. This way, you don’t have to worry about the chest mount breaking and losing or damaging your GoPro as it falls to the ground. The best GoPro chest mounts can withstand some scratches, falls, and impacts.The Sametop Chest Strap Mount Harness is another great option if you’re looking for a lightweight and comfortable GoPro chest mount. This is an excellent mount for GoPro users that record stunt videos and want the best possible angles while mounting the camera upside down or upright. The CamKix Body Mount is a popular option with an affordable price range. This GoPro chest mount is also incredibly adjustable. The waist strap can extend from 25 to 67 inches, while the shoulder straps can extend from 18 to 54 inches. However, the main advantage of this GoPro chest mount is its J-hook, which makes it easy to position your GoPro camera at the optimal recording angle. The J-hook is so versatile you can even point the camera straight down to capture the ground or your feet. GoPro’s current lineup of action cameras offer some of the best video stabilisation around, but for cinematic camera movements, nothing quite compares to a dedicated gimbal. Compact and versatile, the Zhiyun Crane M2 S is a three-axis stabiliser that can be paired with your GoPro, smartphone or mirrorless camera. It offers dedicated stabilisation modes for recording smooth panning, POV and follow shots and even boasts a vortex mode for filming creative transitions.

GoPro chest mounts are lightweight and collapsable into a petite size. They weigh just a few ounces but are durable enough to withstand even the most strenuous action sports. This is why GoPro chest mounts are the perfect GoPro accessory when you want to record hands-free content at a lower angle than a helmet mount. What Makes the Best GoPro Chest Mount A notable disadvantage about this chest strap is that it’s not as durable as other mounts on this list. Although it can withstand enough impact for most GoPro users, extreme action enthusiasts should look for a more durable GoPro chest mount like the GoPro Performance Chest Mount. Let’s dive into my list of the seven best GoPro chest mounts on the market. 1. GoPro Performance Chest Mount (Best Overall) In my opinion, this is the best GoPro chest mount for hiking or biking. It offers clear and stable footage while allowing you to have full usage of your hands and arms. The waist strap extends from 25 inches to 67 inches, and the shoulder strap extends from 18 inches to 54 inches. This means most adults and children can easily fit into this GoPro chest mount.The initial setup can be a little fiddly – and you will need to rebalance for different camera systems – but once you’ve got the hang of it it’s reasonably straightforward and the shots you can capture with it are easily worth the extra hassle. Comfort: If you plan to record long-form content with your GoPro chest mount, it makes sense that it should be comfortable. A comfortable GoPro chest mount prevents you from stopping your filming session early because of pain or aches.
