Totally agree!!! A good arm will make all the difference in the world!!! Talk to any professional videographer, a good camera mount is where it's at!! Totally level panning, no shaking, easier movement, and it has a fluid head for smooth panning and tilting! Plus it it heavy duty and will last for a long time! Those cheapy arms are pretty shot after a few seasons. We use the Hunter Cam Cradles and it has made a big difference in the quality of footage! No jerky movements when trying to pan and tilt, plus you have no doubt it will hold the weight of the camera. Those Gorilla arms are way to light duty for any prosumer cameras, and I wouldn't take a chance on them failing and dropping my several thousand dollar camera to the ground! To me there is absolutely no comparison to a good quality tree arm with a fluid head. If you haven't tried one or used one yet, you owe it to yourself to!! Don't get hung up on the money of one. You get what you pay for.
