New Dog Camera Mount Turns Your GoPro into a GoFido
GoPro footage from a dog is probably even better than from a human. (GoPro)

Thankfully GoPro has a new harness designed specifically for me and my 15-120 pound canine compatriots. The Fetch dog harness securely mounts a GoPro camera onto either my back or chest. For those silly short-legged dogs, like corgis, the chest mount is even removable. The adjustment points of the harness are all padded, so there’s no fur-pinching, and the material the harness is made of is washable and water friendly, which means it’s perfect for flying chew toy catches in a pool, tennis ball fetching at the lake, or best of all, running in the mud day.
The GoPro camera is secured to the harness with a tether, in case my lack of spatial awareness would otherwise send it flying off into the woods, and has a quick release base for removing the camera.
