RE: Self Video hunt, this is good
Yes with the view screen out and the camera arm, it's a pretty nice set-up.
The Camera arm has a "Handle" and easily swings and moves in any direction (with hinged elbows) and pans and tilts with the camera mounting device (all included) The zoom, of course is camera operation.
Working the camera is easy. Working the camera, watching the deer, keeping movement to a minimum and preparing for the shot al whilest making sure it's framed nicely. Is the challenge. I tried it this year on several occasions. It's tough..Not to mentioning lugging all that equipment in and up...etc etc.
