Anyone here have experience using the Painted Arrow Mag Pro to film shots? Was thinking may be beneficial to tracking / recovery and neat to review hunts. Just not sure how clunky or prohibitive it may be??

I just got one about a month ago. I think a lot is going to depend on your phone and how good its stabilization is and some on how awesome of a bow you have. I broke my old phone when I was fixing my sisters car and had to buy a new one, I took some test shots and was pretty happy with quality with lighted nocks. Will for sure be able to slow it down to see impact. If you are looking to self film for hunts to make a tv show it’ll be another angle but it won’t be your best quality. If you want to arrow tune with it for sure not gonna work in my opinion. It’s not clunky and doesn’t get in the way at all though.

Edited to actually answer the question.

Mag Pro video

Here is a video I shot with an old cell phone and a Mag Pro a couple weeks ago. I slowed the video down to 0.25x and then 0.02x speed just to see hat it looked like....

Like @HuskerInIowa said, I bought one about a month and a half ago. Have an old decent 4k phone but the footage looks crappy when uploading to this site (watch link above from an older post). Certainly worth the $50 to not deal with a camera arm and about the same as a tactacam. I placed a little beefier spongy spacer between the cam mount and stabilizer, then zip tied them tightly together. I also added rubber washers to reduce vibration where the cam mount slides on to the stabilizer arm. I am looking forward to the footage I get this year to help locate my shots better.
 
I think @Pyronole is on to something doing some slight add on things to reduce vibration. Slowing the video down helps too and will look better than our uploads do justice too, although his looked good to me as is. I’d also reiterate that in my opinion the bow will matter some; I’d wager the higher end super quiet bows would make it ever better. I’m really happy with mine and only get jealous of newer and better at the bow shop or the range or when I see some of you guys stuff! Upgrade so I can buy your used goods please.
