PGYTECH CapLock POV Neck Mount for DJI OSMO Action 5/4/3, for Gopro Hero 13/12/11/10, for OSMO Pocket 2, Hand Free Video Vlog Neck Selfie Holder with Body Strap

Perfect for us… We used this on our latest cruise and it was the perfect companion piece for my dji osmo action 4…. Cannot say enough good things: lite weight/comfortable/sturdy/easy to use…

Works as advertised but feels awkward if performing outdoor tasks. Heavy phones are not the best to mag-mount as they are difficult to keep aligned.

Quality is better than the rest Ive seen. The only thing is, at some point wearing them in a hike or just doing videos say for an hour, the thickness and weight becomes irritating on your neck. I could feel the weight after a certain period…

For skinny people only otherwise would be great.

This is great! I love being able to film while working. The neck part isn’t soft and it takes a minute to get it just right.

This is an exceptionally useful mount for action and other small cameras. It's comfortable, convenient and unobtrusive (great for shooting on the streets and public events without attracting a lot of attention and distracting others). Materials and workmanship seem solid and high quality. I might give this mount five stars as an initial review, but the fact that PGYTECH doesn't include the necessary chest strap in the package. There's really no excuse for that. It sure seems to be a sleazy move to try to coerce customers to make an additional purchase. I was tempted to give the product three stars instead of four, but decided that would be unfair. I'll make my own chest strap,

Upon first handling the PGYTECH CapLock POV Neck Mount, the packaging presented a sleek and modern aesthetic, hinting at a premium product inside. The unboxing experience felt thoughtful, with the neck mount and its components securely placed, signaling care in design. The main feature of this neck mount is the patented CapLock Quick Release System, which allows for swift gear changes without fiddling with traditional knobs – a standout for users needing quick transitions. The wide compatibility with a range of action cameras and smartphones, thanks to the included quick-release plates, is highly practical. The silicone-coated neck tube and aluminum strips offer a commendable balance between flexibility and comfort, while the non-slip surface is a nice touch for active use. In terms of user-friendliness, the side security lock is intuitive, ensuring the gear remains securely attached. The POV view capability is excellent for hands-free operation, crucial for action-packed activities like skiing or skateboarding. However, some may find the neck tube a bit rigid initially, which could take getting used to. Performance-wise, the neck mount excels in providing stable footage, especially with the added chest harness strap that minimizes camera shake during vigorous movements. This stability, paired with the comfort of wear, likely exceeds the expectations of many users. When comparing to other mounts, the PGYTECH’s quick-release system and the flexibility of its neck tube make it stand out, although the price point may be a consideration against more budget-friendly options. The product seems to offer good value for money, given the quality of materials and the innovative design. The positives definitely include the quick-mount system, wide compatibility, and the stable, comfortable wear. Areas for improvement might include an even more flexible neck tube for a wider range of motion and perhaps an integrated solution for smartphone attachment without the need for a separate clip. Overall, the PGYTECH CapLock POV Neck Mount is a solid choice for action camera enthusiasts. Its ease of use, stability, and comfort make it ideal for adventurers looking to capture their experiences hands-free. I would recommend it to users who prioritize quick gear changes and those who engage in dynamic activities where stability is key.

Build quality is very good. The phone arm is solid aluminum metal. Joints are very stiff which is good to hold up a heavy phone. Magnetic is super super strong. Even works on my Peak Design case without the adapter ring. Neck band is soft plastic coating and the bends easily. The mount piece is made of a very hold plastic and feels premium. Functionality wise it is very uncomfortable. The mount piece has a button at the bottom. The weight of a phone will cause the button to pivot/jab into your chest/sternum (see photo). This can actually be painful if worn for long. Additionally the arm for the phone mount is too short. Can't really see the phone attached unless you bend your head down as far as possible. Might be only good to hold a phone up to record a video but not actually for viewing. PGYTech usually makes quality stuff but this is a rare flop. I really want to like this neck mount as it feels very premium. However it is only good for lightweight action cameras. Does not work well for smartphones.
