RE: Video Camera Mount
I have one of those readi-reach bow holders that I have modified to video my own hunts. I took the tilt/pan head off of my tripod and mounted it near the end of the arm. The head that comes with the ProBowCam (pictured) is much lower quality, and not as smooth to operate, but a friend has one and it works okay.
Rob, congrats on all those good videoed hunts. What camera do you use? I bought a Canon GL-2 for this year, but it is noisy when turning it on. Otherwise, it takes very high quality video. My two brothers and I take turns taping each other. In fact, I filmed my brother take a nice 100 pound doe opening afternoon, (9/28). We had her in at 12 yards, he double lunged her and she went about 50 yards. I didn't get much of her escape on film because it is very thick, but the footage is good anyway. Of course, after he shot and lowered his bow (we were getting down quickly to get some more footage of the trailing job before dark), a buck came sauntering in. Then while dragging the doe out I found a pretty big shed from last spring, 40 yards from the stand. It was a good opening day. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
