do you use a blind or a tree stand?

clip-shot is good for small camera/cellphone
archerytalk.com /quick search for clip-shot

munch mount camera mount for small camera/cellphone
excalibur forum /search for munch mount

they both have their use and are good.
if you're using a Canon or Nikon camera that don't fit in your pocket then you might need to look for a tripod

I am also trying to sort out which one to use -- current plan is to utilize a Munch Mount and probably a Go Pro but not sure yet on which camera.

Just spotted a new ION camera on realtree.com. Unfortunately the toy budget has been maxed out.

Go pro does not have a zoom and can be frustrating and disappointing. I used it last year. Only good for close range.

This year, I'll be looking for something with a zoom.

Has anyone used the new spypoint.I think a munch mount would work great with that camera(if the camera does what is advertised

Maine Hunter has a Emerson Action Camera (cheaper version of GoPro)

Here is his video, other than the branch in the way it was a good video. If you turn up your volume you can hear the death moan after he sets down his bow. Found bear 75 yards away.

Its a good camera, its on par of a Go pro from what we saw. Friends of mine use a Go pro for snowmobile videos and the Spypoint seems to produce videos of the same quality. I got the spypoint in march so haven't used it for hunting yet, just a few sled videos of my 6 year od son. We clamped it to my 870 and tried a few rounds camera still works just fine so a crossbow shouldn't hurt it. We will be using it come Sept. for goose hunting video, will post them up come that time.
