I had been thinking about making one of these for awhile, and you definitely inspired my creation. I built a "Chesty" though. The Kurgo harness I used already has enough padding to provide adaquate protection, and enough surface area to stitch velcro on to connect the camera mount plate. The 2mm thick ABS seems a little stiff, and I'm going to cut some reliefs into it. Hopefully these will allow the corners to conform to the contour of the dogs body while providing enough stability to keep the camera in place.
