What could be better than mounting a video camera on your dog to get their point of view? Well, Sony today announced a little backpack to make this easier for you to do when you want to use their action cam. The addition wraps around your canine companion in pretty much the same way that some leashes work and some sweaters might. The harness is adjustable, but is only designed for dogs over 15 kilograms (33 pounds) with a belly circumference of between 50 to 80 centimeters.

You’ll be able to pick one up on April 26th in Japan. No idea when it might hit the US though.

Would you put this on your dog?
