    Check out Tactacam. Awesome stabilizer mounted cam!

    The GoPro Hero 4 I use has been good. The one thing that none of them will ever get away from is the vibration when you shoot. That's the only downfall to mounting a cam on your stabilizer IMO.

    I use Ultra Pro X Adventure Cam, it's great and it comes with a post mount that mounts to my stabilizer easily. Tacticam is also a good choice. Also, I occasionally use my phone on the bowfinger 2.0 mount.

    I've tried with a Gopro 2 hooked to a Bike/handle mount on the bow. Was NOT a great setup.
    Not only did it have the vibration issue, as discussed above, but the fish-eye and false distance perspective made it difficult to see at range. However it did make a 15yrd shot look like I took like a 30+/- :)

    I'll also need to look at the recommendations given above.

    I just ordered a tactacam for my bow. I'll let everyone know what I think about it. :tu:

    I mounted a Go Pro on to a stabilizer one year in turkey season. Even at 15 yards you couldn't really see the shot because of the lack of zoom. I didn't shoot a turkey that year but used it practicing.

    GoPro yes I agree. Or you might want to check for a second opinion regarding bow stabilizers at Sports Gear Lab.
