I picked up one recently along with extra battery. I bought the bow/stabilizer mount. First thing I can tell you is on a recurve, way too much vibration and bow kick. There is no way I can see where the arrow hit and after the shot Im now pointing above the target and cannot see it. I took my son on youth hunt Saturday and decided to just hold it in my hand and film on 5x. We had deer at 15yds and I was pointed at 10yds. The deer are in the pic, but at times cutting their heads off. I was holding the thing at eye level, cant believe how hard it was to aim. Footage is nice, much better than the wide angle gopro stuff I have seen on youtube. Going forward I will likely get the head mount and accept the fact that when Im ready to shoot, it likely wont be pointed at the deer. Ill at least be able to get footage of where Im looking the rest of the time. There is a wifi option so Ill be able to look at my phone when visibility is decent and ensure the cam is pointing where Im looking. Plugged into the wall, it takes hours to charge the batterys. On high def you need to download a special player when using windows 10 computer. All in all I guess Im not real happy given the money spent. I missed filming my hunts and thought this would be money well spent over carrying a cam corder and tree arm. Its easier to carry, but thats about it. My opinion may change after a few more hunts, time will tell......
