The V2 chesty DOES come with a verticle buckle/mount and thrumb screw in the box ( the new style vertical buckle – L shaped, not J shaped like older ones, but not quite as ‘tall’ from the base as J mounts). Either way, even with a J mount or inlcuded L mount you still have to mount the camera upside down for mountainbiking as you lean forward. Seems ok/comofortable. Goes on waistcoat style, still a bit awkward with the straps done tight, but easier than the old style v1/cheapo ones. Clips together nicely at the front, seems good quality. The padded part at the back is comfortable and spreads the load. Hope this means its more stable. Did notice that the buckle can knock on the base plate if not careful – this would be picked up loudly by the camera. Expensive for what it is – should be about £30 max really (2022). But you do get a buckle, and they are £10+ on their own.

Better than off brand, but expensive and turns out the magnetic snap mount works waaaay better than either chest mount. Look at snap mount and it’s versatility before dropping the bucks on this one.

Easily adjustable to fit round even large motorcycle jacket. Camera position too low though for motorcycle ride video with my setup so easier vertical height adjust would’ve been helpful. Comfortable and stable videoing platform for GoPro cameras. Easy to use/adjust to fit/put on/take off. Light and effective. In my case though the view was a bit too low so handlebar and motorcycle dash obstructed view more than I’d have liked. Harness can be tightened to raise camera but then it’d be less comfortable. Recommended for motorcycle if you want to include view of dash or if you don’t mind tightening for higher camera position.

Much better than the cheaper one I bought first, having bought on of these when I first bought the camera I bought an unbranded one. When I tried it tried it I found it to be annoying to get on and off and eventually the plastic being brittle it snapped so I thought bite the bullet and go for the gopro genuine one. Well, its so much better and worth the extra, the camera quick release locks, the whole thing comes apart from the front not the back, the straps are larger and hold the camera tight to you all of which the cheap one doesn’t do!! My videos are now better as the camera doesn’t move, the camera can’t easily unclip when you don’t want it to say for example it some knocks it accidentally and I can get out of the thing without a second person or being a magician.

I’m very happy with the product, which could be used by myself as well as my son in law who is about 70lb lighter 🙂

If you want to capture any POV or for instance capture bicycle riding, then this is definitely the product for you.
The quality is excellent. The fit is excellent. You can easily adjust it, make it go lower or higher, or even make it tighter and more sturdy.
Overall, an excellent product. Worth every penny!

I have never had issues with Amazon ‘used’ warehouse deals before. They have usually come in a better condition than expected with a slightly damaged box, or repacked totally. So I went for the ‘Used’ chesty V2 at £26. Arrived the next day in a GoPro box that had been resealed as expected. However, when removing the Chesty, it was immediately clear that this was not a GoPro product. It was very cheaply made and needed hooking over your head. There was no back padding, and no GoPro logo’s anywhere on the product. Just cheap shiny black plastic. So needless to say I have just returned it, and I’m sure Amazon will quickly refund me. But it did get me wondering how this has happened? Has someone in the past bought the original GoPro chesty V2, and then switched it with their cheap version and sent it back for a refund – essentially getting a free genuine Chesty? Or maybe the Amazon staff have found it lying around at the warehouse unboxed, and assumed it was a GoPro product so repackaged it as such? Absolutely no idea. But it will definitely make me think twice before buying used. I’m sure the actual Chesty V2 is very good, but I will need to find out when I get one from GoPro directly.

In terms of quality, fit and comfort the chesty is almost perfect. However keep in mind that if you’re using it to capture mountain bike footage it is a little limited on the angle it can be held at. It can only be angled further downwards, not upwards. So unless you only want footage of your bike and 4/5 metres in front of you. You will have to either mount it upside down (and rotate the videos) or buy some form of extension mount.

I’ve purchased this for MTB’ing and a Snowboarding trip coming up this season, it far surpasses any of the cheap unbranded items on Amazon so trust me, don’t waste your time buying them because you get 1000 accessories with them.
The fit is snug, it barely moves and it’s quite high on the chest. I can’t see this being a problem with my Hero7 with Stabilisation but you may get some bumps etc (as expected) with the lower models. The backplate isn’t solid, its cushioned and just the right amount of sturdy! The clasp to quickly release is pretty awesome too, making it easy to take it off if you’ve got layers and layers on!
Spend the money, and spend it once on V2 of the Chesty. It comes with the vertical mount too which was a plus for me as I was looking at buying those separate.
