How does this compare with the official GoPro Chesty mount? (please people who have actually used both)

I have an Official GoPro Chesty mount and I bought this one for my Father. It is great no problem with fitment. I was worried about that also when I got it but the only thing that is really different is that it does not have a "GoPro" logo on it.

It 'works' with all the gopro mounts. And I use the word 'works' loosely cause it will break the first time you use it and your go pro will fall into the water and never be seen again.

The version of the GorillaPod I purchased required the attachment of a separately purchased GoPro mount to the removable clip that attaches to the tripod head. I believe Joby offers a version of their "Action Tripod" that includes a GoPro mount. Great idea but I can only assume it will eventually suffer the same floppy joint fate I experienced with the original GorillaPod. Good luck! I have yet to find a decent alternative and will probably end up reluctantly buying a new GorillaPod.

I had to rig mine. But I was able to remove the screw and mount it came with. used a dremil and a thick piece of plastic and make a mount for my gopro. A totally easier way, is to just zip tie it, or wire tie it to your helmet through some existing holes in the helmet.

I had it in the water all of last week and i found out a few things. It will float without a floatie back-door untill you dive below about 10 feet. At that point it's seals give and it takes on some water. That being said, I still really liked this pole. I opted to not use the floatie and instead put one of the tethers on the back door, then looped the tether around the head of the GoScope before attaching the GoPro. I flipped the camera orientation upside-down and put it on the bottom side of the pole and got great results. Very steady video. The wrist strap on the GoScope made me feel secure that I would not lose it. I had it in the water all of last week and i found out a few things.

Far as I can tell it's the same model. I think they're both made by a company called swivy. Carey speed has a good brand name but overpriced. They have a vf4 that is more compact and exposes the slr buttons better but is way overpriced IMO. My ggs works just fine. I took it to mt Everest and it was terrific and didn't break. Only lost a screw tho. Make sure those are dialed in good

I used this float with my gopro as well and it works great. This is a great "fire and forget" type of float as well. I connected the float to the gopro and would dive down to get very specific video and once done, would simply let go of the camera and let it rise to the surface while I stayed below for a little while longer... having then two hands free. Once at the surface it is right there waiting for me.

I bought the $20 bag of mounts & they're all mixed up. There's a couple of flat & curved stick ons that might work but GOPRO offersmany optional mounts. Lens 3 settings narrow med & ultra wide. Looks fish-eye I'd guess about 150 degrees. Also, I got the bacPac a little pricey but now that I have It, couldn't do without .Gotta admit, this cam is a cool little sucker. Hope this helps. Derf

Alex, How did this mount work out for you? I'm thinking about getting it for flying in PA28s

I have a GoPro 2 and it works fine. I got a 'HD Hero Skeleton Housing' - open on both sides to allow plug-in of the mic and more and still provide safety and attachment brace for the camera. I don't have the Hero3.

First, I do not recommend the tripod. But if you must, the tripod is a standard tripod and has standard attachment screws. That said, the GoPro Hero3 is not meant to be put on top of the tripod. The GoPro is an action camera and it's little universe of attachments is really really good and fun way to mount a camera in unusual ways. If you still want a small light tripod, Manfrotto makes a good one for around $50 and you can go up from there. But the Slik is not very well constructed. Sorry. I hope this helps.

The wrist housing is just a mount. I found it to be semi-useful but if you want a better mount, go with the GoPro Pole. More versatile.

I have both and they performed identically. It just comes down to your mounting and appearance preferences.

Hi Salvatore, thanks for the question. I recommend getting a proper handlebar mount for the gopro. The gorilla pod cannot grab the handlebar or bike part securely enough.

Oh yeah it will hold. Just clean the surface and make sure there is a good contact patch. The gopro arm attachment will break before this mount comes loose.
