Afternoon all, just looking for some expertise concerning the best options/approach for carrying a Go Pro whilst running. My intention is to have my Go Pro on me during the San Fransisco Marathon in just over a month so I am looking for fairly small and lightweight attachment with a comfortable handle and strap as well. Most of the ones of line have mixed reviews and seem to be targeted at the selfie market as opposed to the running market, I just wondered if anyone has one that works well and would recommend as the best option for taking along on a run! Many thanks!!

How about a wrist mount instead?

I've seen runners with a sort of chest harness. Looked into getting one for my daughter, Halfords and Argos do them, not too expensive

I have a chest harness and a headband. I prefer the headband for what it's worth - the chest harness rubs uncomfortably over a long distance. However, I'm kind of presuming that rjc13 is looking for the added flexibility of being able to point the camera at stuff while running rather than just capturing a forward view?
I'd have thought, also, a chest harness would not give much of a view in a congested race.

Apologies for digging out old threads (this one appeared in as a related thread option).
I am embarking on getting a Go Pro for running and will probably look at something small and hand-held. I have come across some videos where the user has worn a chest harness version. Unfortunately, in the ones I have seen, there are a lot of hands coming across the camera. It could be down to the runner's own running technique or simply that chest harnesses are mainly for use with minimal hand movement.

How should I price my run videos?
