What are you guys using ? I can not believe the prices for some of these. I am using a Sony VX2000. I was looking at models that were $ 500 are you kidding me..........

 

[parkerbows]

and to top it off most don't include the fluid head

 

[outdoorsaddiction]

muddy outdoors has a good one

 

[parkerbows]

Yeah that one is $200 and no fluid head. Damm this filming is not a cheap deal

I just checked out Lone Wolf's web site their tree arm looks nice. They even sell an extension to make it longer. Anybody using that one ?

 

[JerseyJay]

i use gorilla... its only one i tried.. cant complain for what im filming... if your doing professional quality i wouldn't recomend it.. cant really move it smoothly...

 

[WestjerzeyBraques]

a gl2 on a gorilla will sag. it gets to the point its sits so off balance. gorilla is best for s small cam corder. use that set up on top pointing at your shot or a top view of the hunter/ gl2 on a muddy wit the fluid head for the impact shot.[up]

I'll cast another vote for the GoMuddy arm.
If you like the LoneWolf design, I can put you in contact with someone who make a simular arm but in a heavier model.
As for a fluid head I recommend a Bogen/Manfrotto 3130 or 128rc for being smooth and somewhat affordable.

GG that one holding your GL2 is that a Lone Wolf ? or the knock off you speak of. The tree section looks just like a Lone wolf

This is a really awesome arm. This is what our NJ and PA team are using. It's realy easy to use and you can shoot 360 degrees around the tree. http://www.huntercamcradle.com/

I also have heard really good things about the Dillon Superarm. http://dillonoutdoors.com.hosting.domaindirect.com/id42.html

i make my own

It's the knock off..Very solid arm and he will make extentions any length you want.

 

[parkerbows]

GG roughly what $ are we talking about ? Noticed on Lone wolfs site they also sell extension pieces

Parker I used the Lonewolf this season but am filming with a smaller Sony. No fluid head but most of my hunts are self filmed so not as much an issue for me. Set up becomes second nature, pull bow or gun up, set up arm, put cam on, set zoom, hunt. I prefer the pull strap to a rathcet strap unless you are leaving the arm in the tree. Loewolf a bit sturdier then the Gorilla, but not as beefy as the two GG shows.

The plain Brown Muddy will go for $200.00
If I remember correct, I believe I paid $160.00 for the other one.
