I have a little Sony something. It's small and I got one of those stabilizer mount deals last time you recommended it.
When I shot my bow with it, it was heavy and my arrow always hit low. Guess I should practise with it more.
I posted this last fall. The next time I hunted this stand those two big limbs covering the kill zone weren't there anymore. :)

I played with mounting cameras on a bow stabilizer years ago. I didn't like it at all. First, it is awkward when practicing and such and I always practice with the same accoutrements as I hunt so adding it to hunt was not an option for me. More importantly, there was enough vibration from the bow to make the video way to jittery for my taste. Also, trying to hold my bow still when dot at full draw was problematic.
What seemed to work best for me was to use a tree mount bracket. Making a video while hunting by oneself is very challenging. I found it difficult to focus on making sure I do the thousand little things right to get a quick clean kill when distracted by the camera. I ended up pointing the camera at my most likely kill spot and zooming to the level I want. Maybe I'm going deaf, but I often have deer appear at close range suddenly. So, in case this happens all I had to do was click start on the camera remote. I could then focus completely on the hunt. Either the deer cooperates and explores the scent ball and I get a harvest video or it doesn't and I get no video. When I do see a deer coming from a distance, I then use the camera to pan and zoom as needed to get his entry. When he gets near bow range, I again focus the camera on the most likely kill spot, zoom in, forget the camera and focus on the shot.
One more trick I learned was to use 2 cameras. One is used as I describe above and the other is from a different angle (usually above me) and zoomed out for the widest view possible. I can then edit the video and cut between the cameras. The wide angle camera gives me things like the run after the shot.
It has been years since I've tried to self-video a hunt. I'm sure technology has improved since then.
Thanks,
Jack

Badger I don't know how far you are from Cass county MI.? When I hunted there saw a couple bucks that would be 190-200 class easy. You might want to check it out.

Cass is 6 counties South of me. I won't lose sleep over antler size but we don't generally throw b/C sizes around that loosely. If someone sees a booner here its probably 120 PY.

Nice! Especially at the 30 sec mark, slightly quartering away and looking away.:)
