You can get a clip on mount for your GoPro.

Example

Either a pole, or I got a quick clip that I can attach to my backpack strap. I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BSE454S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_B1bLxbQJJJSYT

You'll find you want to vary your footage up a bit, so a pole/3 way + this would probably work well for hiking. This is nice since its hands free. I got some footage slipping into the mud while hiking the Cerro Chato the other day near the Arenal Volcano :)

I bought these clamps first. They work well at one location where the overhead light is ideal for this clamp in that I can just clamp to the shade and still get centered over the table.

I took those clamps to another pool hall and didn't have the same luck. So I also have these clamps now

I'm using hero 4 sessions at 1080 wide and removing lens warp in post.

And I velcro an external battery to the back of the H4S to have enough power to get through.

I hope that helps. And I hope to see your videos online soon.

that's actually a fantastic idea, i've already purchased the stuff i need and i'm going with a clip like this for now

Sametop Backpack Strap Mount... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BSE454S?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Maybe

I used this clip to clip it to my backpack/bag strap. It rotates and tilts, so you can level it out easily. Sometimes I would hardwire it with a usb L bracket to an external battery. It made a great bodycam and I got hours of footage. Admittedly, this is not the best footage to make an edited video with as it was somewhat shaky and wasn't ever really consciously framed, but because it was just stuck to my bag strap and pretty much always on, my kids forgot about it and quit mugging for the camera. I got a lot of good footage of my family just behaving naturally. It would be torture for anyone else to watch, but I love it. It was also very convenient and quick to unclip it from my strap and use it handheld on a ride or something.

easiest way is to use a backpack strap mount, it'll put it just above the chest and you can clip the mount as high/low as you like.

Without a backpack, you could buy a shoulder mount like the one linked below and just slide the mount piece lower down the shoulder since it's on a strap anyway so it's adjustable.

I use one of these GoPro clips with a 1/4-20 adapter. Takes like one second to clip on to your pants or belt and you're set.

Much more convenient than those DIY belt constructions imo.

If you usually wear a backpack, I find that a Clip Mount is the least encumbering way to record your commute. I clip it to my backpack strap near my shoulder.

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.

One correction "sent be a big box", presumably "sent me a big box"?

Also if anyone wants the clip, pretty sure you can get them on amazon cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Sametop-Backpack-Compatible-Session-Cameras/dp/B01BSE454S
