I decided to use a DJI Pocket Osmo and Samsung S8 to do all of my video recording. I decided to down size the pocket arm to fit. I recorded the build, but haven't put that video together just yet.

Got the arm and strap down to 9.5 oz. I'm using daisy chained ZingIt with a whoopee on one end to secure it to the tree.

I'm using a NEEWER Micro Tripod ball mount.

So, 2 cameras, one with zoom and one with 4k, mount, arm and strap under 2 lbs! The whole set up fits in a cargo pocket.

Here's a couple of pics and a video of it being applied to a tree.

This is awesome! I would absolutely self film if I had a set up this compact.

Ya, even with the full sized pocket arm it was a bit more to lug than I wanted to deal with. So, I just wouldn't film. I missed videoing a lot of no-deer having woods because of that!

This looks awesome! I’m super impressed. I’m curious why the connecting joint from the arm to the base is so much larger (relatively) on the micro arm than the same joint on the other arm?

Thanks! I increased the width of the arm receiver "wings" on the base in hopes of reducing the potential for the soft aluminum to wear and loosen up. So far so good!
 
Any update on selling?
