    Curious if anyone has ever seen or tried the Tactacam before? A friend of mine asked me about them and I have never heard of them till now. Looks pretty cool but a bit pricey but for 1080p video looks like good quality. TACTACAM - Bow stabilizer HD video camera - Gun mount

    I will be looking one over this weekend and helping a friend film some how-to videos and maybe a promo for my friend to put together. Could keep you posted. The only thing I shy away from when attaching a camera to your bow, or stabilizer is that the kill shot footage is literally unusable because of the shake/vibration the bow will output at time of release. I use my Epic Cam on the side of my bow in creative ways to show my emotion or something simular if its on my bow.

    I was watching the videos they put up of it and you could tell it was shaky. I am not really interested in it for myself but a buddy of mine was thinking of buying one. Let me know your thoughts after you try it out this weekend so I can pass them along!

    I tried using a POV camera on my bow and I wasn't too terribly impressed. I haven't tried my Contour Roam though. I keep it on my head and prefer it that way anyways because you get the entire before, during and after, not just the shot.

    I have my EpicCam on my bow but facing me for the shot view and really like it. I have a friend that was looking at this so I thought I would ask before I gave him an opinion.
