I have used both a camera arm mounted to the tree and one mounted to my bow. It really depends on what you want out of the camera. And what I mean by that is quality. The camera arm mounted to the tree is going to give you a more high quality picture, however, it is a little more difficult to operate and get ready for the shot. The camera mounted to the bow will allow you to virtually capture all of your hunt through your eye but the video will vibrate and it takes practice to get a solid video of the shot/kill. I currently use the bow/gun mount made by Deer Ridge Innovations. It will also mount to your gun if you choose to do so. The tree mounted camera arm I use is the Lone Wolf. It is a solid arm for the money, however, I would suggest a Bogen 701 fluid head to replace the one that comes with the arm. Total cost will be about $250 for that set up.
