Warning to Dial up, Lot's of photos.

First I want to thank everyone from clear back when I asked ya'll to do my leg work. http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2913263

Thank you.

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

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).

Now that's cool. Very nice Rob, I can't tell you how jealous I am.

Now that is one sweet looking camera arm. The predator really breaks up the straight lines of the arm itself. Awesome work!

Looks awesome! Still it seeems like it would be a little heavy to carry in and out every time.

Actually no, it really isn't.

Rob, Im so pleased you like the arm. Ive gotten so many good emails over the past few weeks saying the sameand that really make me happy to know guys will be out capturing great footage with something I can build for them.

The arm itself with a Bogen 701 head w/o camera is less than 7 pounds.
