No it is just a head strap that goes over your hat basically like a headlamp would have. They have harnesses so that you can have it mounted to your chest too but I like it on my hat better. GoPros are heavily marketed to sports like snowboarding, mountain biking, kayaking, skydiving, etc so you see them on helmets in a lot of the advertisments.
I am far from an expert on GoPro but here is what I have been doing:
1) Ordered this charger and batteries from Amazon and they all work great.

2) I have separate 16GB SD cards but wish I had just got a 32GB. My concern was if one card got corrupted I would have another but I don't like changing the card out.
3) I try to stop and start the camera more often and that breaks the video clips into separate files. That way I only download the smaller clip that I need and I don't have to download hours of me casting and swearing.
4) If you get one…wear it! I can't tell you how many times I take it off or my buddy takes his off and then the fish shows up.

These 2 are key. The files are absolutely huge. 12 hours of footage will litterally fill up most of my available harddrive space on my laptop. Stop and start every 20-40 minutes and if something happens that you will want to use/look at it stop and start recording again so it is easy to find and work with. If you have a couple hours where nothing has happened I will usually delete what I have too and start over to save myself some hassle later. And of course, if you take it off because your sick of it something awesome will happen and you will regret not having it on.
What do you guys think of this angle for the GoPro?? I will be pairing it with a contour hat cam as well to get multiple views (If I ever catch a fish that is).
