Hitcase ChestR Announced [CES 2013] CES is happening next week, but that does not mean manufacturers cannot wait to get the word out on the kind of products that they have on offer for folks. Here we are with the Hitcase ChestR, which is a combination chest harness and mount that was specially designed for optimal hands-free photography and videography. The ChestR will be a departure from the traditional helmet mounts that extreme sports photographers and adventure filmmakers use, where it will work seamlessly with Hitcase and Hitcase Pro, and is touted to be the ideal companion to the StickR and Tripod mounts.

Thanks to a low profile harness which can snap on and off with a single click, it offers a portable alternative to headgear mounts. Other features of the Hitcase ChestR include adjustable straps, a neoprene body and polycarbonate chest plate, where it is rugged enough to withstand the elements. The Hitcase ChestR mount will retail for $49.99 a pop if you are interested in picking one up.

CES: CES is the acronym for the (International) Consumer Electronics Show, one of the largest consumer-electronics shows in the world. Although it is held in Las Vegas today, the first CES happened in June 1967 in New York City and Bob Gavin, the CEO of Motorola was the opening keynote speaker for that first edition. Subsequently, CES was held twice a year: the summer edition was in New York, and the winter edition was in Las Vegas, that is, until 1998 when CES became a once-a-year show. CES has been the introduction place for key products and technologies, including: Pong (1975), Nintendo NES (1985), Tetris (1988), Compact Disc (1991), HDTV (1998), Xbox (2001), Blu-Ray (2003), OLED TV (2008).
