Well, my uncle and I finally ordered a new camera today an decided to go with a SONY HVR HD1000U mini dv with a Manfrotto 701 HDV Fluid Head. Got a camo camera bag and it comes with a shotgun mic. All I have to do is put my order in for a new muddy arm and I am ready to rock. So looking forward to get some good footage with it. My unlce and I are going to be spending a lot time in the woods this year and doing a lot of velvet filming to. Hopefully my wife will understand. I will post some pics of the new set up once I get it.
