Is there a good chest strap for iPhones to make videos? I have an iPhone 11 Pro and would like to film a couple POV trail rides.

Ive kludged something with a ebay gimbal, on a gopro mount, but it didnt work that great and it scared me. (expensive phone to be shaking all over the place)

Ive seen your photography, and I think you could find a way to buy (perhaps used) one of the GoPros that no longer need the gimbal. I think hero5 is the first with image stabalization that may work for MTB.

Cheap and has good reviews.

Not cheap but combining a gopro sports harness and a quad lock case/adaptor would be pretty secure.

I'd advise not putting your iPhone on your chest and pickup a GoPro session instead. Lighter, tougher, easy editing, better stabilization, etc.

They're nice little cameras, with a lot of flexibility...

If you do go down that route, go Hero7 or newer. Stabilization has gotten a lot better over the generations.

new go pro is super nice and the stabilization is incredible but after buying a chest strap and this and that you will probably spend $400
