pm69442,
I don't think I could disagree more - but that's just my opinion.
Muddy Outdoors makes the best arm for the money. Throw a Bogan 501 head on-top and you're good to go. Quality isn't cheap - and we require a camera arm for any team members on our team. I don't enjoy watching shaky footage, and won't use it.

RE: Camera Arms
The windevice arm looks okay if it was priced for about 1/3 of what they want for it. IMO you can get the same or better performanceout of either the Pine Ridge Pro Bow Cam or the Lone Wolf Strong Arm for much cheaper than the $230+ that they want for that arm. Also, at that price point the Muddy Outdoors arm looks 100x better and IMO is going to be the arm to beat for this year.

That is correct. I have a 75 mm half ball adapter on my fluid head for my tripod. If I were to use that same head I would need a tree arm that has a 75 mm bowl adapter. I can't stress how nice having the half ball/bowl adapter is for outdoor filming. It is rare that you can find a surface that is level and with the half ball you loosen the head, level, and tighten.

I use the half ball on my tripod too. Its great when you don't have a lot of time to set up when you're running and gunning. Like elk season or turkey season. On the tree arm, it has so much adjustment, I don't need one. I just run a 501hd head on it. I also have a kick @$$ mono pod from bogen manfrotto that has a panable head on it. It is great for spot and stalk or packing way, way back. Not as good as the tripod though.

RE: Camera Arms
B and H is a great place. You may be able to price shop and find cheaper, but to me its not worth it. They usually have everything in stock, ship fast, and have great customer service. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/
