Camera Arm?
 

I am looking for a camera arm that will securly hold my Canon GL1. I am looking to stay under $250 total for the head and the arm. Considering most arms off the shelf do not have good heads I will most likely buy that separately. I am thinking the Bogen 701. Has anyone used the Primos Truth, Gorilla, 3D Arm or The Lone Wolf and if so what are your experiences? I will be using this to film my own hunts so I need to be somewhat light weight and compact.

I sent you a PM

Camera Arm
 

Check out the Hunter Cam Cradle....it comes with a bogen 701 head and has worked out great for us....plus its in the 250 dolloar range.

Look at the Muddy Outdoors arm. In your price range, solid and has great adjustment for crooked trees.

I second the HunteCam Cradle. Great product and great customer service.

Here's a link to some. http://www.campbellcameras.com/c-31-...ra-mounts.aspx
This place is pretty high price-wise though.

Check out my new Drop Tine camera arm, www.droptinecameraarm.com I think you will like it.

MUDDY MUDDY MUDDY,You can't beat those things!

Make friends with a machinist/toolmaker and come up with something specific for you. I did! MUCH, MUCH cheaper!

I like the one muddy sells it works great on any tree. It is in your price range also. Good hunting.

il agree with the herguys muddy would be the way to go. i have the hunter cam cradle now and am going to sell it to get the muddy arm and plus you cant beat the price, hunt cam is pretty expensive

I ended up going with the Lone Wolf; I picked it up from Bass Pro on sale for $69. I figured you could not beat that price. I ened up scrapping the head and put on a Bogen 701. It works great and all for less that $200. My only complaint is the arm need a 3rd extension so it will wrap around my body. It is very light weight and i carry it all in a back pack.

I would recommend the AAAction Adventure Camera Arm. It gives you a full 360 + degree range of motion because the pivot point is over your head rather than beside you. So there's nothing to get in your way as you trach the animal. It will hold more than 50 lbs, so it's plenty strong, it adjusts for tree lean forward or backward and right or left. It comes with the mounting strap and bow hanger to hang it while you're mounting is so you can use both hands to put the strap around the tree. You can see it at www.aaactionadventure.com I've used it with a SOny PD170 and the Sony Z1U using my 501 fluid head.
