CONSIDERING THAT GOPRO has the extreme sports market practically wrapped up, its next step is to capture the viewpoint of man’s best friend.
Called Fetch (see what they did there?), GoPro has created a harness that you can attach to your dog, either on their back for over the head shots or the chest for lower shots, and is designed to fit any dog ranging from 15 to 120 pounds.
Since the cameras are durable and designed for wear and tear, it will still work if your dog decides to run through mud, water or any other situation they might find themselves in.
GoPro devices usually cost between €200 to €400 depending on the version you get and the harness will cost €69.
Although if you ever wanted a different perspective to how your dog plays fetch, here’s a taster of what it would look like.
And here is how the harness is used.

What harness? What camera.. You’d hardly know they were on the dog,they’re so discreet.
Unofficial ones have been around for a couple of years now.
I’d be interested in a GPS mapper for my dog. The little git gets up to all sorta when he’s out of sight.
There will be knock-offs, for 1/10 the price on eBay by the end of the week. Genuine GoPro gear is completely overpriced.
Done that 2 years ago
I take it the journal is now sponsored by go pro?
It’s been done for years
Is that Walter White’s house? Where’s Skyler
Would be just a blur on my pet greyhounds….
Well this is seriously old new, and you don’t have to wait for the cat version.. the BBC already did a documentary on the secret life of cats where they attached cameras and GPS via harnesses. keep up journal
Two points. I have a German short haired pointer. If she had that strapped to her back she would bash it to pieces the first set of bushes she would head for. Secondly watching a dog galloping at high speed by go pro is nauseating and dis orientating . Expecting micro chip sized gps to be available within five years. Current Gps are still too bulky.
69 for a harness… Is it made from gold?!! Not to mention the hidden meaning…
have your say
