Do a video on your camera set up. (Ie mics)

[@scottmenard9799]

There are cam buckle straps that would be more silent. You sinch them instead of ratcheting. We tie motorcycles down with them for transport. Spend extra for good ones but way to go for sure. Tried copying link but just punch in cam buckle straps

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Thanks Scott! Cam buckles won't work for camera arms as the don't get tight enough. The tree mount can't have any play or the footage will be shaky. That's why all groups I know use ratchet straps.

[@scottmenard9799]

Makes sense. I looked into the Fourth arrow products you guys use. Tactacam and go pro are fun but nothing like a good set up. I appreciate your sharing. Good luck this season!

What model camera do growing team prefer the most?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Cameras improve annually. We use some Sony 70's and 90's but I'm sure the new models this year are lighter, etc.

[@bryanthardin5323]

What type of camera do u use

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Bryant - Sony 70's or 90's.

Wish I had kills to film.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Keep trying!

I don’t like that ratchet strap. That is way too noisy.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Josh - I'm open for suggestions as tree arm must be head tightly against the tree - no movement.
