STUNTMAN High Stability Chest Mount with Ball Joint for Action Cameras - Fits...

I bought this chest strap to take with me on my trip to Costa Rica next week so I don’t really have much field testing with it. I can however review it from a running point of view and a from a gimbal mount point of view. I have the flimsy chest strap that comes in all those eBay package deals and those are terrible when running and you can’t mount a gimbal to it without it flopping all over the place. The Stuntman mount is very secure. The ‘soft plastic’ they advertise is really a somewhat flexible rigid plastic. It’s nice because it doesn’t dig into your chest, probably the reason they made it. But it’s definitely hard enough to where it will hold a GoPro or gimbal very steady. The straps themselves are well built and about twice as thick as the cheap one I already have. When I put the thing on it also just fits better and feels much more secure. The mount is also much more versatile in that you can adjust where you’d like to have the camera or gimbal sitting. I’ve always thought that RAM Mount should build one of these and the Stuntman crew beat them to it. But if you’ve owned a RAM mount the mounting mechanism is similar. So you can crank that mount down and it won’t move at all. If there’s something to be said about RAM mounts it’s that they are tough and steady, this is just like that! Testing: 1) I ran with this having my GoPro Hero 5 and there was no bouncing around at all. You can’t even feel the GoPro on there which is so nice. The chest strap also doesn’t look as weird as my cheap one for some reason?...maybe because it fits better. 2) I hooked up my Feiyu Tech gimbal to the mount and you could tell it was on there when the GoPro was attached to it. But it wasn’t flopping all over the place. I was doing jumping jacks and running up/down stairs and it was a little heavy but the gimbal is a little heavy so I’d expect that. The gimbal would be perfect for when I’m mountain biking where there is a lot of jarring. Overall I give this 5 stars. It’s worth the $$ if you’re doing any rigorous activity or need to hook up a gimbal. Great job Stuntman team, I will recommend this to anyone who will listen. And I’m not paid for the review or have any association with Stuntman.

This is the third STUNTMAN product I've purchased. I bought this one because I was so happy with the first two. This product has the same high quality, thoughtful, rugged design as the first two. The wide chest plate definitely makes the camera more stable and will make for better video. The dual ball camera mount is the same versatile mount used on the Stuntman 360. Couldn't be happier with the purchase. Exactly what I come to expect from this company.

I bought this to hold a gimbal and action camera combo to use with my bike and some activities with my dog. It's very well made and the straps are substantial but easy to adjust. If I was going to make one suggestion or wish, it would be to include some other mounting points on chest plate. Even some small holes for zip tie mounting of an external mic or battery pack would be great. I'm currently experimenting with improving the audio of my activities and the chest plate is a good hard point for keeping a mic from rubbing on my clothing. Still, this is the best game in town for holding a gimbal.

I took a fall off my mountain bike and broke my cheap-o chest mount that came in a bundle. I heard about this mount from YouTube bike videos so I thought I'd spend a little more and get a nicer mount. The mount feels very sturdy and I really like how adjustable the mount is. Its far better than the generic Go Pro mount. I was also excited since I heard it helped with video stability on bumpy trails. I was a little let down by my experience with the video stability. I rode the same section of trail and compared the two videos from each chest mount and found...almost no difference. Its still a great, well made mount but I think I was expecting more in the stability department. At least this mount will be great if I ever buy a gimbal.

I use this for mountain biking of course. I had used the chesty 2, but it just didn't hold as tightly as this. That said the thing is pretty comfortable considering that it needs to be fastened quite tightly. I really like this thing though. It has definitely improved my footage because it just holds the camera more steadily. I use an Insta 360 action cam but I'm gonna try it with single axis gimbal for the horizon. That should add a little bit of extra weight. I will try to update the review if I can remember to do so! But big thumbs up. Oh also, I had detected a little bit of a creaking noise from the buckle (I had a huge issue with that from the chesty actually, and this was super minor) and I simply put some tape around a section of the buckle and it completely deadend the noise. I called customer service to ask them about it and let them know, and they were fantastic and wanted to fix any issue, even though it was super minor. They were here in California also which is really cool. Homegrown company and they were really nice and it was great to have somebody to talk to directly. Rare, and awesome. Buy from these guys, they produce the best product around, are local, and are awesome.

This was reported from multiple sources as the best GoPro chest mount out there. I was excited to receive it. Unfortunately, it is COMPLETELY unwearable for women or anyone else with notable breast tissue. The hard plastic chest piece is much too wide to fit in your cleavage. I didn't know my tatas could be forced to point in opposite directions like a pair of googly eyes, despite wearing the appropriate socially-acceptable supportive garment. It was so obnoxious-looking that my husband barred me from leaving the house wearing the mount. So no, I'm not taking a picture! It turned out to be a good thing I wasn't allowed to wear it, as I only had it on for a few minutes and I was sore for hours. I see NO reason the center portion couldn't be narrower to accommodate everyone who wants to film their adventures - the material is very sturdy and seems like it would continue to be supportive for the camera. The inferior strap should also be angled down at the sides (rather than straight horizontal) to allow more clearance for the melons - then one could potentially move the wide chest piece up just below their neck/above the love pillows. As it is, the inferior strap just...doubles the fun on each side. By force. Like a string of sausages. This product was absolutely designed for men by men. So disappointed!

Works great! Super comfy, easy to clip on and off, and hold my gimbal and camera nicely in place. I even wore it on top of my heart rate strap for a 2 hour MTB ride with no issue

I was using a cheap chest mount for my Go pro and it was kind of ok but then I mounted my Mum is G85. Forget it. The weight of the camera made it bounce around ridiculously when I walked. Then I found the Stuntman. It is great! It holds my G85 securely, and it's so mush better even for the Go pro. The plastic mount plate is very large and stays put. The straps are heavy-duty, and the versatile swivel mount is a real bonus. I like it so much that I just bought the Stuntman shoulder mount, which is now my favorite Go pro body mount. Buy this chest mount. You'll love it.

Seit es die erste GoPro in HD gab, hatte ich kleine Action-Kameras bei meinen Mountainbike-Trips dabei. Relativ schnell sammeln sich diverse Halterungen an, um immer neue Winkel und Aufnahmen generieren zu können. Zum Standard-Repertoire gehörte lange Zeit natürlich auch der normale GoPro Chest Mount . Diese Version ist okay und günstig von Drittanbietern zu bekommen. Aber im extremen Gelände fängt es doch an etwas herum zu wackeln, da die Aufnahmeplatte einfach sehr klein ist. Hinzu kommt, dass die Stelle, wo am Rücken die Gurten zusammen vernäht sind, unter einem Rucksack unangenehm drücken. Mittlerweile nutze ich sogar einen Gimbal und damit ist die Original-Halterung endgültig überfordert. Über diverse Youtube-Videos bin ich dann auf diese Variante von Stuntman gestoßen. Die Grundplatte ist wesentlich größer und dicker, fast schon massiv in ihrer Erscheinung. Angenehm ist das weiche Kunststoffmaterial, was nicht so hart aufliegt wie beim Original. Auf dem Rücken verlaufen die Gurte cleverer, die Nähte sind besser gemacht. Hier drückt nichts mehr! Zur Befestigung kann man einen kleinen Kugelkopf verwenden oder Stativ-Halterungen/Gimbals direkt an die Platte schrauben. Das Wichtigste: Die Aufnahmen sind deutlich ruhiger, auch Setups mit Gimbal wackeln kaum noch herum. Es lohnt sich!

I was reluctant to spend the additional money on this more expensive rig, but am very pleased I did. I use a chest mounted GoPro for mountain biking in the Lake District, and the chest mount I had before seemed to exaggerate the shake badly, so I decided to invest in this based on the reviews I had read. It fits closely and tightly to the body with far superior straps, positions the camera far better, allows for varied angles with its ball joint and does, as others have claimed, reduce camera shake. The plastic plate is comfortable and offers protection in a fall. I took a dive into a rock garden recently and got a sharp rock in my chest, but both the camera and I survived with light bruising; The camera case would certainly have caused damage to my chest without the plate. Great bit of kit, well worth the extra money

the Stuntman mount is awesome - far better, way more stable and super comfortable compared to the GoPro mount. Highly recommended!

Tout est dans le titre. On ne peut pas conseiller autre chose pour filmer au niveau du torse. Ce harnais est parfait. Il ne peut pas vous blesser car il est assez flexible. Tout est arrondi et prévu pour plier sans casser. Il a une base suffisamment large qui stabilise bien la caméra. Ça pourrait être un peu plus large, mais ça commencerait à tenir chaud en été. Ses bretelles sont larges et de très bonne qualité, bien supérieure à celle des harnais Gopro qui se détendent assez rapidement, celles-ci non. Le système de fixation pourrait être amélioré pour réduire le porte-à-faux dans le cas d'un stabilisateur gimbal : c'est une double rotule avec une patte, mais il est parfait si on fixe la caméra directement.

Purchased a chest mount through Amazon but it arrived broken. Reached out to Stuntman directly, sent some photos, and they sent replacement pieces for it immediately. I can now use this chest mount problem-free while biking, hiking, and snowboarding. It is comfortable to use and helps capture nice, stable videos.
