Anyone used the GoPro Chesty?

Pretty self explanatory, does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with the GoPro chest mount?

How adjustable is it height wise?

I have one, I like it for snowboarding and what not.

I've tried it on the FZ6 and it absolutely doesn't work. The only exception is if maybe you have poor body position.

The problem is your constantly changing your forward lean angle on a motorcycle, in a corner or accelerating your leaning quite far forwards, braking your sitting up, cruising your sitting up.

Do you see where I'm going here?

I've attached the typical view to be expected from the chesty. However, this is just a screen grab, 90% of the time the view is of the gas tank and the gas tank only in a corner. On the straights it actually looks pretty good though.

I was thinking of getting one for my trip to Italy when we will be on Yamaha T-Max scooters.I have a side mount but that means sticking a mounting point on the bike.

I WANT the shoulder mounted version based on the Predator movies. And it's gonna have to have the laser range finder.

Sure have. Here's a vid taken a few years back. I like the Chesty a lot for upright, not so aggressive riding. Seems to capture a bit more of the riding experience.

Definitely helps to not "attack" the corners the way I was. You don't seem to be hanging off at all, I just can't corner like that.

That's not too bad, on a scooter the sitting position is more upright so it might work, but I'd like to be able to use it on the Fazer as well.

Good looking road too!
