I recently had the opportunity to test the A0270008 AC CHEST HEAD MOUNT SET, a versatile accessory kit designed for capturing action-packed footage using various cameras, including GoPros and smartphones. This comprehensive review details my experiences using this kit across a range of activities, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses.
The A0270008 kit boasts impressive versatility. It includes a chest strap, a head strap, a phone holder, a J hook buckle, and an AEE adapter – all designed to provide flexible mounting options for a wide range of devices. The phone holder securely accommodates phones between 4 and 7 inches, making it compatible with most modern smartphones. Its compatibility extends beyond smartphones, encompassing nearly every GoPro model, DJI Action cameras, and other action cameras from brands like Insta360, AKASO, and SJCAM.
The straps themselves are adjustable and feel relatively durable. The buckles are easy to operate, even with gloves on, a significant advantage for outdoor activities. The included accessories are thoughtfully chosen, adding to the kit’s overall usefulness.
I put the A0270008 kit through its paces, using it during mountain biking, hiking, and even a kayaking trip. The chest mount proved particularly stable for biking, providing smooth footage without excessive bounce. The head mount offered a unique perspective, though it took a little getting used to. I found that securing the phone firmly in the holder was crucial for preventing movement during more vigorous activities. The quality of the mounts themselves seems good; they held up well to the rigors of these tests, showing no signs of damage or wear.
However, I did notice some slight jiggle in the footage when using the chest mount on uneven terrain. While not overly disruptive, it’s something to keep in mind. The head mount was more prone to minor shifts in positioning, particularly when making sudden movements. The included accessories performed as expected. The adaptability between phone and GoPro was straightforward.
Pros
- Wide compatibility with various action cameras and smartphones
- Adjustable and comfortable straps
- Durable construction
- Multiple mounting options for diverse perspectives
- Easy to use
Cons
- Slight jiggle noticeable in footage during intense activities
- Head mount can be slightly less stable than the chest mount
Overall, the A0270008 AC CHEST HEAD MOUNT SET is a solid accessory kit offering excellent value for its price. While minor stability issues exist, the versatility and ease of use make it a worthy addition to any action camera enthusiast’s arsenal. I would confidently recommend this kit to anyone looking to expand their shooting options and capture immersive POV footage. The various mounting options alone justify its purchase.
