The bike mounted cam does get shaky in rough sections of the road. So it seems the chest is might be the most stable location for a cam!
Another reason(but not the main reason) that I use a Chest Mount Strap. Is that, the abdominal region of the body absorbs the shaking caused by road conditions, better than the head. The head is not as stable and can still shake.
