Are you thinking of seeing through the eyes of your pet dog especially when you are at work? Then, here's an action camera mount announced by Sony. The AKA-DM1, a dog harness from Sony Japan is a camera mount that allows you to fix a camera on the dog's girth. However, this AKA-DM1's harness is adjustable, it has limitation too i.e. it will be suitable only for dogs weighing 15 kilograms and having a belly circumference of between 50 to 80 centimeters. As far its availability and pricing is concerned, the AKA-DM1 is priced at $54 and will be available on 26th of April in Japan (no words for the release in other regions). Well, I am thinking why would anyone purchase this camera mount to keep an eye on their dog.
