As some may know my brother and I are getting back into filming some hunts after taking a few years off. We are buying a lot of new equipment and I was just curious what all you guys on here are using. So if you guys could post some pics of your set ups and include the the price it would be awesome. So far we are working with a Canon hf m30, and A go pro hero.
I just bought that camcorder the other day I heard great things about...but yea I would like to hear more as well Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk 2
Ill be running my Canon HF R30 on a 3rd arm bandit camera arm for my main camera, then i have a kodak playsport and a bowfinger 2.0 mount for a 2nd on my bow. Im looking at adding a shotgun mic to my camera before the fall i just havent decided what one yet. Here is a picture pre and post camo.
My Set up: Canon HF S100 with a lanc adapter, cord, lanc accessory remote, lens hood, and a 3rd arm Bandit Tree arm. I also have a Go Pro Hero, very cool for other angles. I've also recently ordered a Manfrotto 190XPROL Aluminum Tripod & a Manfrotto 701HDV Video Fluid Head for filming from the ground. Waiting for the fluid head to come in since its still on back order.
Illinoishunter- How do you like the camera arm and the head that comes with it? I just got the same one but have yet to use it.
I just checked, there is only one. Its the first one everything under it are accessories or it moves on to other camera arms.
Okay gotcha its just a little confusing its the first one though you think Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk 2
Okay I read it wrong ...I clicked bandit and I thought the next one down was bandit outback lol my fault Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk 2
Do they offer extra support mounts looks like it says outback and nothing about bandit Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk 2
They have a extra mount for a climber attachment that I'll probably pick up. Other than that I think it just the other bracket that comes with it.
The bandit is good for self filming with smaller cameras. I originally wanted to go with a Muddy Outfitter but its too big to pack in and out unless you have a camera man. The head works good as well. I wish they had included a bubble on it... Unfortunately though, I dont think it can adapt my new fluid head since the thread size is too small. Plus with the head, my camera and whatnot it can weigh down the front end of the arm quite a bit. So for now I have no problem, might upgrade to the Muddy after this upcoming season.
Thanks, thats good to know that it works well. Im excited to get out there and start hunting again and filming this time
Figured I'd come back and show off my ground hunting set up. Just got the Manfrotto stuff in the past week. I'll be taking it with me to the ground blind in two weeks:
I'm filming w. a Canon XHA1s. I have about $2100 into everything. That's for the Camera, Shotgun Mic, Camera Arm, Manfrotto Head, Varizoom remote, Tripod w. head and remote, Wireless Mic and rain cover and 3 batteries.
This is similar set up to ours, how much did that lanc hotshoe run you? I've been looking into that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I wish we had the coin for a set up like that! My main camera has about 300 into it (canon hf m30, AT pro24 mic) saved about half by shopping used though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
