Vest for mobile phone when filming training

I'm after a harness / vest type thing to hold my phone and film short training sessions outside- what a GoPro does but without the price. Can anyone recommend anything that works for them and holds their phone secure enough to film properly?

I bought a cheap clip thing for my GoPro (formerly @snowbunny 's gopro πŸ˜‚) and just clip it onto my backpack or messenger bag straps. I tried a harness thing first and it was WAY too fiddly, plus I felt like an idiot.

I just did a quick search to find something similar to what I have for a phone and came up with these. I don't have them so can't really recommend, but have a look and see what you think:

that second one looks like a definite possibility
That's closest to what I have. Basically it's just a big super strong clip, but it works.

it looks a bit odd when you are just doing LLW up and down your cul de sac😁
EXACTLY. Plus the harness I tried went between my boobs and was just...no. Maybe it looks fine if you are fit and flat-chested man, but for a well-endowed woman, it was just...no. :tmi::giggl:

Fits me as a last. Clamp holding the phone is strong. Use it for videoing dog training which involves fast walking over distance., Phone stays in place so more than happy!

Yes, I was wondering about the boobage positioning... And don't want a monoboob either :shake:
I can't stop laughing 🀣

Too many mental images 🀣

And for some reason I thought @Natalie said "boob monologue" instead of monoboob so, well, that made me laugh even more 🀣

What about this

This looks good but again...imagine where your boobs go with this set up. Trust me, it looks hysterical and feels like a medieval torture device. I bought something similar and was too embarrassed to even wear it in my own apartment, let alone on the street. 😁

On the practical side, it also doesn't work over a jacket or rain coat. I think these are made for 15 year old skater boys in California where it never rains.

@snowbunny used to post a lot of walking vids with her dogs, wonder what she uses? And if she says she uses a chest harness, I'm going to be even more embarrassed because that would mean I just have unusually unruly breasts. πŸ˜‚
