You got to spend money when you're using a big camera. My idea of a big cam is the canon xl2 and up. The newer smaller pro-sumer cams work very well on the hunter cam cradle pro like the canon xha1 and smaller. Be sure to check out passthru's arms http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2837694. They look like they could support bigger cams. I'll let you know this fall. I plan to buy one closer to deer season.
