As was mentioned it is very hard to do it by yourself.......filming cool odd stuff like non-target animals, scenery etc is a piece of cake but unless you are completely dedicated to getting it on film the second something walks out that you want to shoot AND film?![:-]
You wind up pushing the panic button mentally and I know even on the one doe I shot where I had mine set up, I felt like I had to make a decision to either FILM or SHOOT, and not both so I punted and shot the deer off camera because I felt like I was going to screw up the opportunity. And you sure aren't going to get the animal running away after the shot, and you'll be lucky if it's standing in frame AT the shot.
I wasn't prepared for that feeling and figured it would be no problem but something takes over when something you want to shoot steps in front of the bow AND camera.
I have some very basic stuff, consumer grade Sony camcorder and a Pine Ridge arm and it's great for what I want to do with it, super light and easy to pack in and out........I can film somegood stuff with decent quality but it sure works better when you are filming someone else hunt!
anyone video while hunting alone?
