I think I’ve posted this exact question before a year or two ago and wasn’t happy with the answer and I’m thinking maybe things have changed since I asked.

So…. where is the perfect iPhone camera arm for self filing hunts?!?!

how does this not exist? Self filming would be a snap with your phone Low bulk, easy Editing, basically a free self filming camera bc we all have phones.

so shouldn’t there be a very cheap, light weight basic function camera arm that we can screw j to the tree or wrap with a strap and film our hunts?

I have not found this arm. I have tried. Best I can do is a flexible hawkarm that screws into the tree with a frsnkenstein attachment that I Gerry rig to hold a phone.

I’m getting hunts on a GoPro with a head mount but the iPhone camera arm would be way better

please advise where this item is or get Dano or G2 or any of the other smart moguls on the case to design and launch one for retail.

DIY Micro Pocket Arm

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...

Your phone is light weight enough you could diy a pvc pipe one be in business & just get a phone holder or like you said an ocb on that hawk one could work
 
Haven't personally tried it but you could probably adapt a car phone mount to a regular camera arm.
 
Elsewhere on the site, I saw a link to this kit and video:

It's not cheap ($90), but it's cheaper than the top tier ones ($250+). And I believe that it's a fellow member making the kits. @DIYBOWHUNTING
 
I’ve got a camera arm in the classifieds. Not sure if it’s something that can be adapted to a cell phone or not. Maybe some type of phone holder could be screwed onto the camera mount.

I actually bought a Baton Arm last night. It has a cell phone mod, folds into a 15 inch bar, and is less than 3lbs.
 
Anyone know of a way to attach the phone to your wrist. Im not interested in swing arm style. It would be less stuff to carry if there was a way to attach to bow holding wrist and have it out to the side of arm. It would be easier to see what you are filming while drawn as well.

In all the searching, I did not find that. I will probably swap the mount out for more movement but I will try it out nome the less. Thanks

@Counting Buck How did your fourth arrow baton camera arm end up working for you this year? Were you limited in range of motion at all with it only having to arm sections? How was stability?
 
I’m trying the DIYBOWHUNTING arm with an iPhone. Anyone else running a similar setup?
 
I’ve been looking for something with a 1/4-20 thread for the mount on the JX3. I’d use my iPhone. The mount is near the knob for the tree fork. May have to DIY one. I’m surprised JX3 doesn’t offer one.
