Just bought this camera arm from a local guy that makes them this past spring. It has NEVER been on a tree before, bought it to use with my Canon GL2 but decided to go a different route and no longer need this arm. I bought it for $260 plus the shipping, I would sell it for $240. The arm is made out of 6061 aircraft aluminum and will hold the larger heavier cameras no problem. These two pictures with the camo straps are the actual arm, the two pictures mounted to a tree are not the actual arm.
