Camera mounts!? Dec 31, 2012 13:15:23 GMT -5

I've talked about it for a long time, I think I'm ready to do it. Here's the two mounts I've been looking at.. My first question is to make sure this would fit my Camera. IT's just a regular handheld JVC camcorder.

First one.
www.cabelas.com/product/Muddy-Outdoors-Camera-Micro-Mount/1373949.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dmuddy%2Boutdoors%2Bcamera%2Bmount%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts%26x%3D0%26y%3D0&Ntt=muddy+outdoors+camera+mount&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products

I'm worried about if I'll be able to see what I'm filming with it, as I'll be self filming bowhunting mainly. it mounts to an ez hanger, and after i buy that these two will cost about the same. Also muddy is a BIG name in filming industry.

2nd one.

I like the pivoting arm on it too. I just know nothing of self filming, any advice would be much appreciated!

If those gorilla arms were under $20 I might say it was worth it, but they are definitely NOT worth 30+ dollars. We have that arm and don't even use it for what it's intended for; we have the head mounted to a pole to use for underwater shots and I have the strap and first extension rigged up as a bow hanger for hunting on public land.
It cracks me up the way they advertise those with a canon camera attached....no way they would hold that camera steady...they won't even hold a little hand held steady.
I have no experience with the muddy arm?

Thanks Troy, I just want something that I could easily film my hunts with. Any experience with HME?

I don't have any experience with it, but it does look better than the gorilla arm. Here's a video of it. The guy has trouble getting the mounting bolt in the tree, but the 3rd arm mini uses something like that and we've never had any trouble screwing it in by hand. I like those extra hooks too!

Well I ordered the HME but the more I look at it the more I wish I would've got the muddy. My initial thoughts were to go with the one with bettser reviews but, I REALLY like the muddy, although the HME had a little better review/rating and was cheaper. This is mainly just to get started, and hopefully eventually get a really nice system.
