Default RE: Video Camera Mount

My hunting partner and I own one similiar. We bought it at the Northeast Outdoor show in Harrisburg, PA. We usually hunt together as a team and one has the camera and the other shooting. What I've found is I'd rather hold the camera because of the lack of mobility with the camera mount. If I were hunting alone and wanted to film my hunt, then yes, it does work very very well. You definately want to position it in the direction you think the animal will be tho. Movement is great except swinging behind quickly while trying to shoot and film.

When I was on my bear hunt in Quebec, another gentleman in camp used one and got beautiful footage of his bear kill.

This type of camera mount is better than a bow mount type. When mounting to a bow, you'll get everything but the shot due to bow jump.

Your adding another element of challenge trying to tape your own hunts but when your successful, it's great to be able to go back and watch them.

My hunting partner and I have over 12 bow killed whitetails, a couple muzzleloader kills and all but a dozen gobblers taken on film. We either film one another, friends or clients.
