Blue’s new toy is a Kurgo Camera Harness for dogs, to be honest, it’s now an old toy, she’d probably had it for about 10 months now, but we’ve not had much chance to play about with it.

But now as we approach the time for our holiday’s, the harness shall be dusted down and camera memory card’s formatted.

Hopefully we’ll be able to get some nice footage from the 2 GoPro camera’s that will be positioned on her chest and back .

I’ve already had a practice with the harness to see what the footage looks like from the two camera potions :\

This footage is from the camera on her back

This one’s from the camera position on her chest

Some of the footage is a little wobbly, but then again she’s a dog and she does tend to waddle along a bit, hopefully as she gets more used to wearing it, the harness can be pulled a little tighter and this should help prevent some of the wobble.

I’m actually quite impressed with what it’s provided so far and as I’m looking forward to playing about with it a bit more on our hols.

The harness is sold by Kurgo manufacturer active dog and dog travel safety products and here’s the spiel about it from their website:

Get a new view of the action

Have you always wondered what the world looked like from your best friend’s point of view? Now you can find out. The Tru-Fit Harness with mount plate allows you to mount an active camera (GoPro®, Sony Action Cam, etc – not included) to your dog’s back or chest.* Whether you’re hiking, biking, hunting or just running around the dog park, the video camera can catch all the action. Our five-point adjustment system creates a perfect fit and great stability for the camera, reducing the jitters.

This dog harness is quick and easy to put on; simply slip it over your dog’s head and then clip the Quick Release Buckles around the midsection. The five different adjustments provide nearly a custom fit, and the chest pad makes sure that even if Fido misbehaves on the walk he can be controlled.

Great style, functional and entertainment … you know you want one, and so does Fido

Hopefully you’ll be seeing a few more of these video’s appearing in the coming weeks of Blue’s adventures in Cornwall 🙂
