I had some reservations buying this over the much more expensive name brand models but ultimately thought the price for the purpose made a lot of sense. The value is certainly there. I used this once and did have a good experience with it, fit well, was sturdy and mostly comfortable. All was good.
The problem came when I went to take it off. I went to disengage the clip that attaches the go pro to the harness and it literally snapped off. Surprisingly the harness can still be used but I don't have much confidence that my expensive camera will stay attached throughout activities. I cant trust this and am so disappointed with this breaking on the first use because the clip was too brittle to fit the need. I will probably end up overpaying for the high end brand name now.
Wait until the next gen of this, dont buy this junk.

Stable and comfortable for hands-free footage
By Artboy11211 on October 22, 2016
I used this product scrambling up Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. I wore it over a back-turned ball cap and it was very comfortable and stable. The footage looks great and it freed my hands to climb. A word of caution is to make sure you test the angle of the camera. I aimed it at my eyesight range and the vista footage POV came out a bit too high but because it was a vertical scramble, it caught the route perfectly. So, just make sure you adjust the angle of the camera on the mount lower than you think and/or move your head more extreme to capture footage lower down. Other than that I recommend this product.

Screw Not Long Enough
By kenneth drake on March 7, 2019
The screw that holds the camera onto the mounting is a millimeter too short (just under 18mm - should be 19-20mm like all the other GoPro mount screws) to get a good bit into the hex nut. Because the small number of threads engaging (probably one thread) the nut, any pressure at all when tightening will slip and feel like it strips threads. Will not secure the camera to the headband if you think it has engaged and then falls out. Amazon sent a second unit but it has the same issue. If one has the right tools, some of the plastic shoulder on the screw can be removed to make the threaded portion go deeper into the mount, thus securing the camera.

Ciao ragazzi.Reviewed in Italy on August 13, 2018
Dopo un intenso utilizzo di tre settimane mi trovo qui a recensire questo prodotto.
Prima di tutto vi allego un paio di immagini per farvi capire dimensioni e potenzialità.
Partiamo con spedizione e imballaggio: perfetta! Rispettati i tempi di consegna e pacco ok. Dentro lo scatolone e presente uj altro pacco con all interno il prodotto ben protetto da una semisfera di gomma piuma.
Per prima cosa ho controllato le viti esterne per assicurarmi fossero prese (non fino alla morte mi raccomando: quando lavora un OR la guarnizione non va mai schiacciata troppo o si rischia che si deformi e seccandosi che ci lasci proprio nel momento del bisogno) quindi ho provato a testare la presenza di microcrepe o difetti vari immergendola in un secchio pieno d'acqua. Risultato perfetto!
A questo punto ho fatto qualche esperimento in diverse situazioni.
Passiamo alle parti salienti: dalla mia esperienza lascio due consigli, spero apprezzati:
1state attenti alla cupola. È super delicata. Io la tenevo sempre nello zaino nella gomma piuma... Dopo due settimane ho notato due graffi sulla sommità nella parte sopra il pelo dell'acqua. Ho dovuto smontarla e posizionarla nella parte bassa cosi da rendela invisibile nelle foto in quanto risultava sempre sotto il pelo dell acqua.
2tenere sempre lo sportello sul retro nella sua posizione di chiusura. Stare anche 4 5 ore aperta fa si che il normale pulviscolo presente nell'aria si depositi dentro rendendo le foto pietose (ho dovuto smontarla e pulirla)
Una seccatura sta nel fatto che i pulsanti (soprattutto quello del WiFi) sono molto precisi e talvolta si azionano e in questo caso premendo il tasto della ripresa non si registra nulla ma si passa in una voce del sottomenu). In quel caso si deve uscire dall acqua soffiare sulle guarnizioni, cercare di asciugare alla meglio, estrarre la gopro e rimettere la funzione sperata. Questo il motivo delle 4 stelle.
Mi sento cmq di consigliare il prodotto, io l ho pagato poco meno di 40 euro e devo dire che il prezzo è accettabile per questo giocattolino, permette di fare davvero belle foto (se volete alcuni esempi guardare instagram DanMc)
Spero la recensione sia stata si vs gradimento in quel caso potete cliccare su"recensione utile"
