I have the jaws too.. I have a cheap clip from amazon (like the one linked below) but wasn't what people think of this new GoPro version. There is not much info on it. I love the clip I have, 99% of the time my GoPro is either on the clip or in a sleeve.
You’re trying to mimic hand held. So 2-3 feet away and at or above your head (the approx length of your arm). So 3 feet seems about right for the longest, 2 feet for the shortest.
You do not want it looking up your nose. Horrible angle.
The gopro gooseneck is way too short at 8” for example.
A backpack mount is going to be on or right below your collar bone. Put on your backpack and you’ll see what I mean, so it needs to bend up a little bit
What I’m worried is I bet there isn’t a backpack mount on the market that can hold that much weight horizontally.
You might just need to do handheld for self shots and if so, get this
