I made something like this with a ball-and-socket tripod head bolted to an old back-pack.

Here's a video of it.

You don't look bad, RE:diets they say diets don't work. Healthy eating and exercise has to be a part of your lifestyle, a "diet" is like white knuckling it/waiting for the horror to end.and also diets cause rebound effects(of weight gain) in many people.

Makes me realise I need to go URGENTLY on a diet. Half of the word is starving, the other half needs to go on a diet....

Why do you need to film the floor?

That bracket looks a lot like the one that comes with a CODE3 Dash-lazer :) Witht he camera on your chest, does it move around when you breathe or is it stable?

[chefmichel]

Your are filming the movements of your hands, who are moving all the time. Breathing does not interfere, unless you cough or breathe with a lot of noise.
