What's the best video cam arm & holder out there?

Looked at Gorillas today at Bass Pro and they were in the 50 dollar range. Want to get one before season.

I'll give you a big arm! Rotflmao

That's just a bit out of my price range. I'm just using my little Sony HD cam on it. Fwiw.

I really like the LW camera arm, and the way it sets up, but I don't believe that it comes with a head. I would consider it for a lightweight camera.

IMO you get what you pay for when it comes to camera arms. I have the gorilla and it's not impressed me at all. It is light and compact though.

I have the gorilla arm too. I don't use it much, and don't know anything about the others available, but for what I've done with it, it has been more than satisfactory to me. Maybe I just don't know what I'm missing with the better models available.

If you want a great arm for the money, buy the Lone Wolf arm & an extra extension arm. I loved mine before I got my 3rd arm. 3rd arm also make a mini version that looks very good also!

Heres what you NEED! lol jk

Thanks formthe info fellas. I'll check the LW out.

I had a 3rd Arm and just got a muddy outfitter arm...what a world of difference in smoothness and stability between the two.

Thanks for the info Wayne! Looks like a great setup. Decisions decisions! :smiley_chinrub:

Might hold off till after Xmas when I have extra dough if I get one of the more expensive models.haha

I really like my Muddy arm as well. Having a good fluid head is more important than anything else IMO, also make sure your arm is strong enough for your camera.

 

[rgecko23]

Fluid heads are really important...

This is what I have on the list for mine...out of stock right now
