For those of you that film your hunts... Do you leave your camera arm in the tree or do you pack it after every hunt? This is my first year filming and I was not sure what to do. I do not have any issues with things getting stolen so this would not be an issue.
I only have one arm and never sure where my next hunt will be with wind directions shifting so I have always taken mine with me. Don't plan to do it any differently this year.
I've got 4 different arms and I do leave them in the tree for days if its a spot that I know I'll be hunting again and I don't need the arm elsewhere. They seem no worse for wear because of it. I use muddy, 3rd arm and trying lone wolf this year but haven't used that one yet.
I will only leave it in the tree if I'm doing a morning then an evening sit in the same stand. Other than that I will pull it each time. They are a pain to get set up, but I never know where I'm going to be set up and I don't really want to leave my fluid head out in the weather.
Like others have said, unless on some rare occasion I will be back in the same stand in the afternoon I pull my arm everytime. I love the Muddy arms they are easy to set up and leveling is quick and easy. Takes maybe five minutes to set up the arm and with the right back pack carrying in is really not that big of a deal.
