Hello! Good day to all! I just want to ask for advice. I had a neck mount and it’s kind of ‘noticeable’ and can be an attention grabber. I want a more discreet setup for my Osmo Action. I’ve come up with this idea. Is this magnetic chest mount good? Also, I wanted to ask if this magnetic chest mount is good for running. I can’t find many reviews of this product on YouTube (specifically for running). I want to know what its pros and cons are before spending money.
My experience is that these types of mounts only make sense with the Insta360 Go cameras, just because of how crazy tiny they are. The action on this mount will constantly droop your shirt and annoy you.

I use a GoPro 12 on mine with no issues, including while riding a motorcycle. The key is having it relatively short. Running might get annoying, but I find the shirt kind of keeps it in place. I wouldn’t be worried about drooping, but with running, it would probably bounce a lot.

You’re not supposed to be using the shirt to hold it. You’re meant to have the neck cord short enough that it takes the weight, not your shirt.
Ohh, but how do you use it when running? I find the neck mount annoying as it sways sideways. Will I have similar problems with the chest mount?
@Whit
Running is just one of those things it’s not designed well to handle. It is relying on gravity, so it will swing. For running, I would always recommend using a harness. You need the chest strap to stop it from moving around on you.
Not everyone feels comfortable with a chest harness, however.
@Drew
Oh no, I actually don’t know what I should get since my current neck mount is kind of annoying too haha. Anyway, thanks for this! Really appreciate it.
