Never heard of them but they sound cool. I have always wanted to video my hunts but even on a tripod you cant worry about aiming a camera and hunt at the same time. And especially if your ground hunting. So how much are they? And were did you find them. Sorry that I wasnt much help though.

Right on I might have to try that out when I can afford it. Trying to fix my credit so I can buy a house right now though.

I was not aware that they made those for general consumer use. I may have to get one as well. :)

Hey Bobcat that thing is cool!! Thanks for the link!

The quality of video will be poor. The lense is very small so it's ability to gather light will be poor, and you won't be able to zoom in, or out for that matter. I think you will get what you pay for, a cheap video camera.

RE: who uses the the small video camcorders.
 
Good point howler. I will email them and ask if they have any downloadable video samples to view. I will post their reply.

even if the video was poor, it would be better than no video at all
man it would be great to capture all my hunts on video, i'm interested to see how poor the footage actually is, you would think it would work great for bow season with the close footage

RE: who uses the the small video camcorders.
 
Another site to see is www.sportsmansview.com They are even a sponsor here at hunting.net. They have a "video gallery" you can view. The quality looks good enough for me!!!

It looks to me like it is a good product and one that I will eventually get. I guess first I need a cam-corder....I'm trying to save up for a digital so I can post vids here and burn my hunts onto dvd.

RE: who uses the the small video camcorders.
 
The quality actually seems pretty good.

Anyone ever use it?

RE: who uses the the small video camcorders.
 
I would like it just to show my wife that I am accually out there hunting cause she just cant see how somebody can stay out there that long, and that often. LOL just kidding when we first got married she said something like that but she has learned I just love being out there, Love her more though.

RE: who uses the the small video camcorders.
 
I can see using the hat attatchment, but I'm having a hard time with the concept of attatching it to your bow.(if the video on their web site clears this up, excuse me, but I couldnt get it to work on my puter.[X(]) It seems you would get a great pic at full draw and holding steady. But what happens during and after the shot. The camera is going to move ALOT!! Both from the vibration, and the tilting of the bow after the shot

Sitter, I thought the same thing and also how to get the cord away from the cam and string.

RE: who uses the the small video camcorders.
 
If I remember correctly, the hat/helmet cams require that your camcorder has the "LANC controller". Unless you have a relatively new camera, you may not have this. ....mine doesn't.

Also, I can't see spending $200 to $300 extra (in addition to the price of your camcorder), just so you can attach it to your hat.

Extreme Shot... If your name has anything to do with the company called Extreme Shot and I assume it does since your from Missouri, and thats where they are, you have some great footage. I use the Extreme Shot camera mount on all of my treestands and it is the very best way to get hunts on video by yourself. Its a super product and would reccommend it to anyone, you can use your own camcorder that you already have, its in front of you, you just have to turn it on make sure your on the deer and shoot.;)

RE: who uses the the small video camcorders.
 
Angus, can we get some more information about the Extreme shot or even a web-site?? That would be great!! Thanks!! Also I like the idea about the camera on ur hat but as others have stated it would be hard to have on your bow as the cable would be in the way. But with it on your hat it shouldn't be a problem...and as far as sound, which one captures sound and which one doesn't...i'd like some sound to my videos too!!

Angus74 12-27-2003 10:08 PM

RE: who uses the the small video camcorders.
 
hoytusa10 try www.extremeshot.com I think thats the site, its like a tripod with only one leg that screws into a bracket on the front of your treestand. It has lots of adustment and is really stable, I just videoed two more shots this evening, my buddy took a nice eight, and I missed a doe.

Extreme Shot 12-27-2003 11:54 PM

RE: who uses the the small video camcorders.
 
Yep that's me and thanks for the comment about the footage. I'm also glad you like the camera mount!

FYI, with our mount, you can attach it to your treestand, stick it in the ground and also attach it to a wall or table. If you want to know more, take a look at the website or drop me a line.

Yep, you can find us at www.ExtremeShot.com and also www.HuntingFootage.com .

If you ever have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Darren

Save your money, the recoil from the shot would more than likely jolt the camera off of its intended target.
