running chest mount phone
Guide / 01
Know what holds the phone
The phone sits in a 20 × 13cm zipped pocket attached to the vest. There is no rigid mounting plate or adjustable camera arm specified in the product details.
Measure the phone with its case and compare it with the pocket size. If you need a fixed orientation for a camera, compare purpose-built mounts instead.
Guide / 02
Adjust the carrier to your body
The vest has shoulder straps and an adjustable waist from 26–40in. Try it over your usual running layers, load the pocket and check comfort while moving.
A soft pocket is for carrying a phone; it does not promise a motionless camera view or eliminate movement for every runner.
Guide / 03
Keep the use case in mind
For everyday running, a zipped pocket can keep a compatible phone stored while you move. Stop safely before using the screen or changing settings.
The chest pocket is water-resistant, not waterproof. Use additional protection in heavy rain.
