GoPro, a company well-known for its line of outdoor and extreme-action video cameras, recently launched a new product that turns canines into cameramen – er, cameradogs. Fetch is a dog harness on which pet-loving video enthusiasts can attach their GoPro cams, and capture footages from their four-legged friends ' perspective.
"Mount your GoPro to your dog to capture the world from his point of view," the company says in its website. "This harness features two mounting locations for a variety of perspectives: the chest, for bone-chewing, digging and front-paw action; and the back, for over-the-head shots of running, jumping, fetch and more."
According to GoPro's description, the harness can be adjusted to fit different breeds, ranging from 15 to 120 pounds. The chest mount can be removed to fit small breeds, and it has a quick release base to make it easy to either attach or remove the cam. There's also a tether for added security to the device. It's padded to keep the dog comfortable, and since it's washable, the fun-loving animals can swim and play outdoors without damaging the material.
Apart from Fetch, GoPro also has a line of other camera mounts, such as: the Sportsman Mount, which can be attached to fishing rods, guns, or bows; the Three-Way mount which can be used as a tripod, camera grip, or extension arm for taking selfies; and the Gooseneck for better adjustability. The company also offers Surfboard Mounts, Wrist Housing, Helmet Front Mounts, Handlebar/Seatpost/ Pole Mounts, among others.
To attach to the mounts are GoPro's rugged and compact cameras. These have been used by outdoor- and extreme-sports enthusiasts to capture videos of a variety of activities, such as bungee jumping, sky diving, bike riding, skiing, surfing, underwater sports, and more. The Fetch dog harness can add to an owner's collection of unusual outdoor footage.
