RE: Filming a Hunt
I have used the Gorilla support arm and the Pine Ridge Archery arm. They both work well. I like thee Pine Ridge Arm better because it has a detachable base. I can set the base up ahead of time and just bring the arm out when I go to the tree. Much quicker and quieter that way. Plus I set up bases in my other 3 stands as well.

RE: Filming a Hunt
I can't help much with the editing part, I send my footage out to be edited. I have been filming for a few years. It is tough but rewarding. The absolute best way to film is to have a partner that you switch off with taking turns being the hunter or the camera man. Trouble is, not all set ups allow for a camera man, nor is one going to be available every time you want to hunt. So I also run a very small sony digetal video camera on a tiny camera arm I built for my camera... Heck I even run it when I do have a camera man to get more than one angle to edit in later.
I have also used camera arms to film my self, the kind connected to the tree. But that don't work well for me cause the deer never seem to offer the shot when they are in the screen, or I try to force the shot in the screen and get a bad hit.
The down fall with the bow-cam is the footage is not the greatest. But the way I look at it, some footage is better than no footage.
Here is a pic of my camera arm... But this was taken before I got the new smaller camera.
Here is the Lone Wolf Camera arm, they sell it for around $100
