Works, but could be better

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2022

The quality control is bad. Was attempting to attach the gopro to the chest mount and the amazon basics snap broke off. You can in the pictures. This was the first time trying to attach the gopro to the chest mount, too. Did not fet a single use out of this purchase. So got a REAL gopro mount to attach the gopro to chest mount. This time the snap did not break off, but the snapndoes not seat properly in the chest mount as you can see that the the rubber "lock" will not sit in the recess properly. I took it out any ways and it allowed me to capture some great footage. The chest strap it self is great. Just know that the straps get tight if your chest size larger than 44.

For this price how could you go wrong?

Excellent price. I've been wearing it now for an hour or so straight and running my gopro for the duration. No problems so far. Fits snug. I do have it fully extended and I wear a Large size shirt. So I guess if you are an x-large this is gonna be tight which in turn may not be as durable. I'll check back in if there is an issue.

Affordable Alternative for Hands-Free Footage

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2023

Style: Chest Mount HarnessVerified Purchase

I recently purchased the Amazon Basics Adjustable Chest Mount Harness for my GoPro Hero camera, and I've been using it to capture footage during my outdoor adventures. The harness is a cost-effective alternative to the more expensive GoPro branded chest mount, and while the build quality isn't as good as the original accessory, it still gets the job done.

The harness is easy to adjust, and I was able to find a comfortable fit on my chest, which allowed me to capture hands-free footage while skiing, hiking, and even kayaking. The camera stayed secure and steady throughout my activities, and I was able to capture some amazing footage of my adventures.

One thing I did notice is that the mount can feel a bit bulky and heavy at times, especially when wearing multiple layers of clothing. However, this is a minor inconvenience considering the affordable price point of the harness.

Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase of the Amazon Basics Adjustable Chest Mount Harness. While it may not have the same level of quality as the GoPro branded chest mount, it is still a reliable and cost-effective alternative for anyone looking to capture steady footage while on the go. I would recommend this harness to anyone looking for an affordable way to capture hands-free footage during outdoor activities.

Great for dog trials!

I purchased this mount for my GoPro Hero 8 to use at dog trials. I have now used it at 4 trials and its held up wonderfully. I run in it at trials and doesn't bounce around or shift. Very comfortable and holds the GoPro very well. I am not doing anything too crazy, but its held up just fine for me. Highly recommend!

Well worth it.

In a nutshell, this item worked just fine. Fit was fantastic and the price is well less than half the name-brand.

Details:
Before purchasing I read the complaints that it was flimsy and breakable. I wear my GoPro hiking, so generally it's not at a huge risk of being destroyed if a mount breaks. I figured this item was worth trying out. When I unpacked it, it didn't seem flimsy to me although I admit I didn't put it through any torture tests.

I've been using the GoPro magnetic swivel clip, clipped onto my backpack strap up until now. The trouble with that is that it moves around quite a bit, usually changing the angle of the camera to the ground. No matter how often I check and correct it, I get home to find most of my pictures at an angle (not zero) to optimum. I hoped the chest mount would keep the camera level to the ground without so much checking and adjusting. As you might expect, it did wonderfully at that.

The size of the harness is barely suitable for me. If I had my druthers, they'd offer an "extra large," but they don't. I'm 6'1" and 235#. I wore it with the harness straps fully extended - the biggest they can be. It was not uncomfortable, but I'm staying away from Christmas cookies for the next 11 months. I wore it under my jacket but over my shirt. I'm pretty sure it would not go outside my jacket. Definitely not comfortably.

When wearing it, it again felt sturdy enough. I think I'd use it even skydiving, bungee jumping or motorcycling. Checking camera functions was much easier with the chest mount than the swivel clip. I could easily flip the camera forward and check battery life, etc., then flip it back into place and move on. With the swivel clip, I had to take it off to check camera status, then put it back on and re-orient it.

In all, I think this mount is just fine. For less than half the price of the brand-name mount, it's pretty easy to recommend.

Nice body mount for GoPro

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2023

This is a nice mount if you're wearing a T-shirt for your activity, but if you are wearing a heavy coat over a pair of bib overalls, it will be really tight and difficult to don and doff. If I could do it over again, I would buy one of those action camera accessory kits that included a body mount.
