Dog camera jacket contextual statement

We played around a bit with the placement of the cameras. if it was on the collar it would shake too much, if it was on the dogs head, it would be far too heavy and uncomfortable for the dog. So we ended up placing the cameras on a triangular steel frame on the dogs back, as this was the strongest part of the dog so it wouldn't have much trouble lifting it up.

After we put together the first device, we tested it on the dog and it didn't seem to like it much. We then decided it needed some more support to keep it upright and make it lighter for the dog. Putting support legs with wheels on the side seemed like the best idea, this helped to steady the camera and prevent it from tipping over, it also made the device much more comfortable for the dog to walk around with.

The main purpose of the device is to capture footage from the dogs perspective as it wanders and explores the city observing the expressions of people passing by.
