    A video camera that is in the form of a stabilizer. It screws in the the same hole as your stabilizer uses.

    I am not a fan of stabilizer cams. They are very shakey usually miss the actual shot then you have to keep your bow up to keep filming. For that price I would get a handycam

    I've watched a few video hunts people have used them for. The deer are usually farther away and hard to really see the arrow impact. Also the vibration from the shot makes it almost impossible to view the moment of impact. I think a good video camera will work better at filming hunts.

    I shoot with the Tactacam camera/stabilizer and as far as I'm concerned, it is the best hunting camera that attaches to the bow that is on the market today....... It all depends on the shooter,if the bow is held steady at the release, there is very MINIMAL vibration due to the way the stabilizer is made that the camera slides into..... Plus, the service from the company is outstanding !!!!

    I second that, company is great to work with and the cameras are awesome! It won't be as steady as a camera and arm but it is a lot easier to use! If you are a beginner looking to capture hunts without the hassle of a camera setup this is BY FAR the best way to go.

    Good luck!

    For anyone how has not actuality used the Tactacam you do not know what you are missing !!! I have had and used the GoPro and Xcell with the same results. They were shaeky and have a panoramic view witch makes everything look farther away than it is. Tactacam has worked the bugs out and this camera captures video that looks just like what you see. It is very stable and user friendly to say the lest !!!

    I have a GoPro mounted on my bow and like others have said, it makes for a lot of vibration.

    Been thinking of getting one as a second view cam. Glad to hear the people who used one like it. pretty pricey though...not a fan of that.
