Bow cameras?
dobow camerasreally work. i mean, wont they mess you up by weighing down your bow and making it harder to shoot. and what about the added vibration? the reason im saying this is because my friend is about to get one and im trying to talk him out of it. i told himi would videoif he wanted me to.what do you guys think?

RE: Bow cameras?
At one point I ran acrosssomeone talking about a digital video camera that had a remote lense. The lense could be attached to the stabilizer with a cord that ran back to the camera body in your pocket. I thought it was a great idea but I haven't seen anything on it since nor have I been able to find one anywhere. I personally wouldn't mount a camera body to my bow, it'd take a beating.

I have one of these it is called a Hoyttech TACTcam. I put it on my stabilizer and i have a wired remote attached to my bow that runs to the lanc port on the camera to start/stop recording and turn the camera on and off. It is pretty cool to get a view from the bow as well as another camera.
Also, you canattach it to your gun barrel for turkey hunting or waterfowl hunting.

RE: Bow cameras?
I think they suck. they really do weigh down the bow and the filming quality is usually pretty lame. I like using a tri pod when in a ground blind or a tree stand attachment. Other than that you need a seperate camera operator.
