Just curious looking to see what everybody is using for camera arms here.. Right now I have a Motion Camera Arm, and one made by a guy locally.
I have one made by Skip Enterprises. I like it a lot. It's all aluminium and very compact. It's set up to either use a tree strap, or you can actually use a screw in step to hold the base to the tree. Makes for extremely quiet set up.
I have the Muddy Pro arm. So Far I like it, but I'll have a better grasp once I get into the season a bit.
I will try to get a picture of mine this weekend. I have a custom arm that was made by a friend a few years back.
I just have a Big Game Treestand Camera Arm. It's ok, very basic and affordable. It's what I went with because I didn't think I'd get so into filming my own hunts. I plan on upgrading my camera arm to something like a Muddy and adding either a shotgun boom mic or a wireless mic to my setup eventually.
Personal Opinion Muddy is leading the way in Camera arms. I am not saying there is'nt other good camera arms out there but you can not go wrong with a muddy camera arm and a manfrotto fluid head.
I have the Pine Ridge Pro Bow Camera Support. Figured I'd see if I like trying to solo film before I spent so good money on a muddy camera arm!!!
I have the hunting beast camera arm, just an improved version on the lone wolf arm. Its pretty sweet.
I bought an EZY Climb arm to give this filming thing a try. It's compact and light weight. It has a swivel head but, isn't as smooth as I would like. A little string wax on the ball inside the arm helped though. It was only $30 and if I enjoy filming enough, I'll go with a muddy and a better camera also next year. Just using a simple HD camera this year and a GoPro Black for some other angles and footage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Have a muddy outfitter. It came in a couple days before I shipped back to ND for work, so didnt have any time to play with it. When I get home itll pretty much be hunting season, so I guess Ill figure it out in the tree lol
Muddy Outfitter with a Vanguar ph-113v Head on it. I love the thing. Wouldn't change it for the world and I film with a DSLR Camera
I actually just got my Muddy Outfitter in the mail today. Super easy to mount, motion is great and I got it for only $104 on Amazon. So far so good, just waiting for my fluid head to come in and get off of work on Saturday for our opening day here in NC
Im looking into different arms, as my Motion arm may be just a tad under sized for my GL2 and manfrotto head.. Ive used it going on 3 seasons now but it can be a bit bouncy. It extends out roughly 40'' off the tree, not sure if I would like the Muddy Outfitter arm being only 30''...
I used the Gorilla arm. Its a bit heavy. I only use a Handy cam. This year I mounted it directly to my Summit Viper. I should be able to film stuff on my left hand side now. Before when mounted to a tree (right hand shooter here) I couldn't get the camera swung around to see to my left.
I use the Muddy Outfitter as well for my AX-2000. Handles and stabalizes the camera very well and its very easy to pack in
I have 3 that I made, there easy to pack, made from light aluminum and work very well! nice and stable. I can hang at multiple sets or just hang the heads and pack an arm to each set. There also double adjustable, I just level using bubble on my manfroto fluid head.
