GoPro Mounting?

[reba]

Has anyone ever mounted a Go Pro on their pointing dog?

If yes, How?

I have not tried it on the dog. I think that on a fast running dog like my setter, it would be so shaky that it would be unwatchable.

I wondered about that it'd be neat to try but I'd think it'd be a good way to lose a camera too.

I was watching a show the other day and they were hunting hogs in Texas and they had a camera hooked to one of the dogs collars. It was pretty cool to watch.

I think a top mount would roll back and forth a lot.

One mounted on the chest would be more stable, but I don't know what the view would be.

Well, if you are into videos of grass rushing by it would work great! You would have to get some altitude for it to be at all useful IMO.

I use a Contour mounted on an old Garmin DC 20 harness. Here is a video from it.

Here is what it looks like mounted on the beast.

Enjoyed the video. Have to laugh--seeing the Contour on your head, the camera swinging from your neck, and then the Contour on your dog. I'm always loaded down with the first two, and now that I've replaced my original GoPro, I'm looking at how to mount the old unit on the dog. The Garmin harness was one of my thoughts too, as I had the original Garmin and am familiar with the harness. I know with the collar unit, the harness would sometimes twist or slip back on the belly. I have yet to see any mounting idea that would 100% stay perfectly upright. I guess I'll find out how it will work, as I have one on order.

What did you create to mount your Contour on the Garmin harness?

In my search, I've seen the site for Kurgo. I've also seen this one http://thesugarcoat.com/UniversalCamCollar.aspx It looks good in the photos, but I can't imagine it not rotating around the dog's neck.

.

Here is what I did, I took two metal discs, and bolted them together with the garmin harness tight between them, then just use the extended bolt and a lock nut to hold the camera in place.
