    It's about that time of year again to show off those filming set ups. Let hear what you have and see some pics to drool over. And to add if you don't mind how much money you have into them, so people can get an idea. Also a list of what you add to add in the near future. I have no pics at the moment. But we are running:

    -Canon Vixia hfm 30 with adzen shot gun mic
    -Canon Vixia hfm 30
    -Sony Nex 5r with assortment if lens
    -Gopro 3 silver
    -Gopro 960
    -cheap camera arm with vanguard fluid head

    Roughly 1k invested over a three year time span.

    Hoping adding soon

    -rode shotgun mic
    -muddy arm with manfrotto head

    Also post up some work that you have done with your equipment. You can check out our YouTube page on the bottom of the post.

    I hope you didn't pay $200 for the outfitter arm. I just picked up the pro arm for like 160 shipped.

    Pretty much the same gear as last year.

    Canon XA20
    Canon 7D w/ battery grip and various lenses ... though in November I will have the new 7D Mkii body.
    GoPro Hero 3+
    Rode NTG-1 mic
    Rode Video mic
    Sennheiser wireles mic
    Libec Lan-C
    Manfrotto 701 HD head
    Manfrotto 503 head
    Manfrotto tri-pod
    Muddy Hunter camera arm
    Small HD AC7 field monitor
    Various lights and filters
    And a bunch of other stuff that I just cannot think of off of the top of my head.

    Adds up to more money than I ever care to admit.

    Well it can defiantly get heavy at times, especially early season but having a good bag like the Game Plan Gear CameraMan Bag helps a lot because you can get everything in the bag and secure and the way it's designed it can take a lot of the weight off your shoulders. But for the most part, its worth it when it all works out and you have all the equipment up there you need to, to lay down some really good footage with angles. If your carrying your stand in and don't already have a set ready, then you gotta be a dedicated individual for that.

    Regarding carrying it all in. Everything goes in that backpack that I posted a photo of. If I am tree stand hunting then the tri-pod stays home. If I am ground blind hunting then the tree arm stays home and I lash the tri-pod onto the pack. It really packs up kind of simple and isn't that heavy. I've been doing it for so long now that I am not even sure if I could hunt without all of that camera gear.
