Thank you.
I decided on the arm from Pass_Thru, one of our own.

I made a couple PM's to Jay and he immediately sent me his phone number so we can better communicate. I did what he required and he kept me update on the arm being made etc.. With a new process of dipping the arms, I sent him the additional check to cover the dipping. It both got it to me quicker and looks so much nicer. His arms can be seen here.
PassThru's Thread with Pics.
I received my camera arm a week ago and couldn't be more pleased. The quality is second to none and the finish, again second to none. Fantastic product.
I then got Jay's suggestion and ordered a fluid head from B&H Photo out of NY, NY which I do business with anyway.
Today I received the head and put my finished arm together and added the camera to experiment with and take some pictures.

The workmanship again, is outstanding.
I went ahead and painted the screw and bolts green. Forgive me Jay but I got a little green on the Predator dipping.
I got to playing with the camera and arm to see if there were any blindspots while filming. I could not find any. You can pretty much spin this arm all over to film everywhere.
I'm pretty confident that I can film my own hunts and catch the footage. It'll take patience and although I won't jeopardize a shot at a monster I'm hoping to catch everything I kill on video this year. (weather permitting).
