Lone Wolf Custom Gear – Pocket Arm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe camera arm is a specialty tool for the self filming hunter. It is made for people who hunt out of or next to trees. The arm does not have any ground supports. It mounts to the side of a tree via a strap and bracket. There are typically two main components: A base and the arm. Your fluid head goes on top of the arm which normally can swivel, extend, and support the fluid movement of the camera around the tree. Camera arms are simple to use, quiet, and allow quick positioning of the camera when a game animal is coming close. Holding the fluid head, you move it into position, point the camera where the animal will be, and then get ready with your weapon. Their weight generally hovers around the 3 to 5-pound range, though the new Lone Wolf Custom Gear “Pocket Arm” only weighs 1.6 pounds and is kind of a game-changer. If you are a whitetail hunter who hunts treestands, the camera arm will be perfect for you.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\nHow you hunt will determine which mounting solution works best for you. If you do some hunting out of blinds and some out of treestands you may want to pick up a camera arm and a tripod to have the versatility of different setups. If you spend a lot of time on backcountry multi-day expeditions you may lean towards a monopod. My current setup is the Lone Wolf Custom Gear Pocket Arm for tree hunting and a Manfrotto BeFree tripod for everything else. Whatever you choose, make sure you spend time setting it up and practicing with it before you get into the field. Get out and film your hunts!<\/p>\n
