Reddit reviews PolarPro StrapMount BackPack Mount for GoPro Hero7 / Hero6 / Hero5

Polar pro has a mount called the strap mount. link

I was looking at this one called a stuntman pack mount. link

I just bought my first GoPro and I'm also looking for this. There are $2 clips on eBay but they look cheap. The GoPro clip linked here looks a lot better.

Peak ones to but it's too pricey for me. Here are alternatives I found

I don't know which I'll get.

This is the one I've been using. It has screws to make sure it doesn't come off, and it has a safety lever to remove the camera if you want. It's been awesome so far.

One of these with a Feiyu WG would work very well.

Hey so I just got a backpack mount especially for EDC, I bought it from Amazon and it has good reviews.

It's a little bit big even on my normal backpack but I think it will be ok with some minor padding to the back I will post the link for it.

Here is the mobile version of your link

I would make your choice around the pack itself. Rather than trying to find a pack with a GoPro mount. Then just attach a GoPro to the pack that works for you. Like this from PolarPro https://www.amazon.com/PolarPro-StrapMount-BackPack-LifeVest-SCUBA/dp/B00UJI8OVK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1482111070&sr=8-2&keywords=backpack+mount+gopro

Another camera company also has one a little pricier https://www.amazon.com/Peak-Design-Capture-P-O-V-Action/dp/B00KICDKC0/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1482111070&sr=8-5&keywords=backpack+mount+gopro

https://www.amazon.com/PolarPro-StrapMount-BackPack-LifeVest-SCUBA/dp/B00UJI8OVK, paired with a wearable gimbal like the Feiyu WG2 (not available yet, but coming soon).

I have a Canon 5D2 that I've carried with a 16-35 and giant tripod (8.6lbs plus a few 3oz batteries) on a one night backpacking trip, and wow too heavy. I'm eyeing an A6000 with a couple primes to replace it for half the weight in camera body and probably a third in lenses. (30oz vs 16oz for just the bodies!) One upside of the heavy FF DSLR setup is the waterproofing, I will need to be more careful with something else.

One of the big reasons I'm getting into ultralight is so I can carry camera gear and not hate hiking. There are also some great point and shoots now, the Sony RX100 series is a great example. The IV is a serious contender vs the A6000 for me.

For most of the action cams they have an interchangeable mount on the waterproof case. Here's a couple options for a backpack mount, and here's a bike mount. As far as I know all the GoPro stuff is cross-compatible with the Yi stuff, it is just a clone after all.

I have a Ram-mount setup similar to https://www.amazon.com/Handlebar-Mount-Coated-Diameter-Adapter/dp/B009IXP8O8 . Video quality is reasonable. It's super easy to remove the whole adapter or replace it with adapter for gps / phone when needed.

I also bought a backpack strap mount similar to https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UJI8OVK but haven't used it yet.

As they mentioned, Gimbal for hiking.

If you're hiking with a backpack already something like this might be better than the chest mount.

Extra batteries or If you're camping out a solar charger would be awesome

I like hikes to rivers or water falls. If you'll be getting in the water I love this floaty for the Hero 4 Sliver It's designed like a smart phone case so you can still use the LCD to frame your shot.

Nature time lapses are cool too, maybe spend $3 and make one of these

Polar Pro Strap Mount

I like this because it screws down tight on both sides of the strap. Only way to get off is to unscrew clip or go pro mount.

I've got one of these of which I am quite fond.
