Im thinking about purchasing a Muddy tree arm but am confused as to what head to purchase. I dont want to spend very much on one. Any recommendations? Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Depends on how much you want to spend and how big the camera you are using is. The Manfrotto 701 is a good head but i believe it got replaced by the MVH500AH but i could be wrong, I have the 701 and it works great.
I dont use a handy cam hd but will be buying a good camera that I can attach mics to in the next year or so. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Looking to spend around 120. I may be dreaming tho. Is this feasible? Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Yes it is feasible. I bought this head to use on my Lone Wolf camera arm and I love it. Here is a link below. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009R6NZ/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You can get a Manfrotto 701HDV for that price. It's a very good head and will work on larger cameras if you upgrade. Unless you plan on paying for two, just buy a good one the first time. They are one of the more important parts of the system. You want smooth video, without the camera jerking everytime you move it. A good head will do that, a cheap one will leave you frustrated with your final product.
Your right ill just save up and make my budget enough for a quality head thanks. Placing the order now for my Muddy tree arm. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Just ordered the muddy outfitter arm and a wicked saw for $10. A work incentive paid the rest! Cant beat that. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk

I bought a "cheap" camera arm on amazon (like $25) & it actually works really well. I wasn't looking to make TV shows or anything but just wanted to get the "kill" shots on video so I had something to look back on to double check shot placement, deer behavior (post shot) etc. I have an older sony handycam (wedding gift) that my wife agreed to let me use & I was in business.
