Footage shot from a dog's chest looks nothing like footage shot from a hand. The camera sits low, moves with the shoulders and points wherever the dog is going, which is the only realistic way to get the run, the sniff and the splash from their eye level rather than from four feet above it looking down at the back of a head.

The harness is padded through the body panels and adjusts at the straps, so it can be pulled in properly, and that matters because a mount only works if the harness does not rotate. A loose one will hand you an hour of sideways video. There are two mounting points, one on the chest and one on the back: the chest for the trail ahead, the back for a wider view that takes in your dog's own head and ears.

• Chest and back mounting points
• Takes GoPro-style action camera fittings
• Padded body panels
• Adjustable straps for a secure fit that will not rotate
• One version, with no size or colour options

A camera is extra weight on a working dog. Keep the sessions short, take it off between runs, and think twice before putting one on a small dog, a puppy or an older dog. The camera itself is not included.

Who it's for: Owners of medium and large dogs who already own an action camera and want the walk or the hike from their dog's point of view.
