Would you use chest mount for iPhone and be my eyes?

I imagine it would work. Not that I would do it though.

Wander how safe it will be? Someone could grab it and attempt to still it. In the process you could get hurt. Today you never know.

Hi Ash,
I just heard about this on the Double Tap podcast. And I know the spelling is a bit weird, but that's the right one, I've just googled it. Apparently it's a good one. As for the Meta Ray-Bans, there are three different styles: Wayfarer, Skyler and headliners. Apparently the Skylers are the lightest. Did you try all three types or just the standard wayfarer ones? They don't vary in functionality, it's just the style. I'll probably get a chest mount or something when I get my new iPhone 16 Pro, because no pair of smart glasses is good enough for me. The ones for the blind are too expensive, and the Meta Ray-Bans don't have the look and tell feature here in the UK. So a Pro with a chest harness is the best option for me at the moment. As for the possibility of something getting stolen, if I lived my life worrying like that, I'd never go out or do anything.

Ash Rein, I don't know much at all about the chest mounts, I clip the phone to my shirt collar for Facetime sometimes. Someone on here had their iPhone attached to their shirt with a magnet mount in their pocket. I think it was Andy at the duck pond. That sounded interesting to me, if the magnet was strong enough, and I could use the screen-side camera for the app.

Would a lanyard work for you, or is that not stable enough for your needs? I remember a while back, iPhone lanyards were all the craze. This was probably back in the days of like the iPhone 6 or earlier. 🤷🏽‍♂️

as I understand it, yes. I will have to get back to you on a link, but I have a friend with an iPhone 16, the base model, not a pro or anything, but she has a type of lanyard that is worn like a messenger bag. In other words, over the shoulder and around the waist diagonally.
Hope I explain that right. Ha ha

Sorry the mount I suggested isn't available where you are. I did Google the Sigandg phone chest mount, and I got results from Amazon UK and Amazon Brazil I think, but Amazon US didn't come up. I've heard of people using lanyards too. That might be another option for you.

I think you might want to look in to VLogging accesaries. Lot of youtubers and such use different kind of mounts for their cameras, and sometimes that camera is an iPhone.
My doubts stem from my own tendencies to walk in to doors and walls and desks chest/stomach first, and I don't think my expensive iPhone can take that kind of abuse, even with a protective case. It's the same reason I am hesitant about Apple Watch. I use a braille watch currently, and I've scraped it so many times on doors and walls while walking around.
I've also walked in to tables and chairs thyes first, right where my jeans pocket for phones is. So, yeah. I live rough and my gadgets have a rough ride.

After speaking with my friend, her lanyard may not be right for you. They do have Crossbody lanyards, that are just that, a lanyard. They also have Crossbody MagSafe charging lanyards, and Crossbody bags that also hold an iPhone. Hers is that last one.

Still think a lanyard would suit your needs, just maybe not hers. 😅

I 100% would. You could possibly get a GoPro chest mount, that's what I've heard of another blind guy using. It would be so much more convenient than just holding your phone up.

That case seems to have some poor reviews by other users, so you may want to reconsider that one, however that leash seems absolutely amazing and quite versatile.
