Hey all!
Merry Christmas!
The wife has got me a GoPro for Christmas so I’m looking for the best way to mount it while wearing a backpack?
Cheers!
Personal preference is to use the chest harness. Gives a nice perspective over the bars and out over the front of the bike.
Get a chest mount - put that on then the backpack. There's a kit of various GoPro mounts that you can get which includes the chest mount - just check Amazon - should be obvious.
When mounting the camera you need to do it upside down so you can angle it and get the trail ahead in shot. Takes a bit of adjusting - I used the Gopro app on my phone to see a live shot and then worked out how many fingers I needed to put between mount and camera to get the right angle without going through the rigmarole every time.
I've got a mount that fits on the pack straps on the shoulder, depends a bit on the pack you have but works well for my low slung camelbak. Like is ta its attached to the pack rather than separate chest mount.
