Camera Arm?
 

Hey guys, Just wondering what camera arm everyone uses.. I have a lone wolf and that worked just fine with my sony handycam, but since my upgrade to a gl2 it just seems like the head dosen't move very fluent. Is the gl2 to heavy? Can I just replace the head? Any suggestions?

Spoiler Jay makes a pretty sweet tree arm walt and steve seem to really like it.

Check out the Bogan 501 head - not cheap - but works great!

Yeh the arm Jay made us last year worked great we love it, But we also put a bogen head 501 on it also!! Walt

Home made one right now, real similar to the lone wolf set up.

RE: Camera Arm?
 

Yes I made one for Walt and Steve last season as well as one for Aaron and I. If your interested let me know as Ive gotten a few orders this week and will be building some in the next 2 weeks.

Does anyone have any pictures of the homemade arm?

Jay does!!!!

Hey Jay, if you could post a pic of your cam arm. It looks like i'm not the only one intrested.

RE: Camera Arm?
 

Here are a few pics of it. Ive sold two already to guys who already have shows and they seem to like them. I posted a link since I couldnt get the picture to attach. Check it out. Its the same arm Walt, Steve, Aaron, and I used last season. I have made some changes like powder coating, lengthening arm sections, and adding some tiny rubber discs so it doesnt hit against itself.

RE: Camera Arm?
 

Im feelin better everyday. I can do almost everything I was able to before surgery except alittle slower but Im really getting back to 100%. How you been?

Things are good here too. My family is doing great, things couldn't be much better. You, Mikey, & I should hook up sometime this season & do a hunt or something.

RE: Camera Arm?
 

How long is the piece that goes against the tree? I'm looking for one that can fold down and fit into a backpack.

RE: Camera Arm?
 

I can make you one any size youwant as loog as it allow some leverage to tighten. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

pass thru, that looks great. love the camo pattern as well :)
When i get time ill post a pic of the smaller version that i made for a compact sony cam, similar to the lone wolf. Again great job.

RE: Camera Arm?
 

I worked today on the arms I have ordered. Im currently building 10 of them and 2 of the new model. The new model is more of a typical stacked style arm like Todd wanted last year. Its coming out sweet too. Ill post some pics in a few days. They should be awesome and will look cool powder coated. The new model will be alot more packable too as the arm section will be removable from the vertical portion that mounts to the tree. Like I said Ill post some pics later.

Jay - I may have to hire you for the paint-job on those arms! We're working on a version right now and you have got the look down bro! Those things are killer looking!

RE: Camera Arm?
 

No paint anymore, all powder coat. Paint doesnt last.
