I have heard great things about the Chesty GoPro camera chest mount, however, since I typically where a Camelbak when I ride, I figured it would be a good idea to make my own chest mount that works with/mounts to the Camelbak.
I also saved money.
Very easy and inexpensive and customizable to whatever backpack you use.

That's nice, it should be a point of view different from the typical point of view "over the head", but in case of a fall it should be very dangerous. I think it's better that you add a larger and stiff plate, and also a sort of cushioning between plate and chest, to apportion a possible knok on a larger surface!!

Thanks for your opinion, but I don't think it is dangerous at all.

I hope it will never happen again, but a friend of mine felt on his camera and broke his rib...
