Biggest downside is the lack of a lanc protocol remote jack. Remotes are super handy for self filming. Otherwise, great camera.

I don't have that camera. I'm still running my trusty canon g30. It's a touch bigger and doesn't shoot in 4k.I'm sure its a good camera. I have the HC-V770. The only thing I wish I had known before I bought it was that there isn't a remove zoom for it. That would be really handy for hunting, I know @BassBoysLLP is running one. But as far as footage for the size of the camera I've very happy with mine.
Sorry, I mean that you're running your remote. You covered that in your last postI don't have that camera. I'm still running my trusty canon g30. It's a touch bigger and doesn't shoot in 4k.

Yes. I didn't know I wanted to run a remote until after I started self filming. I didn't find out my camera couldn't run one until after i bought my camera. @DaveT1963 I just want to give you the most information before you buy.
Actually, it's the other way around. You can get better film out of the DSLR/Mirrorless cameras. They just require a little more effort in the tree and don't accept the nicer remotes.What about using a Canon DSLR? I'm invested in the glass already and I believe I can use an app with my phone tethered to the camera as a remote. I know the video isn't as nice as the regular video specific ones but I would think it would work.?

Disregard the above. I would have to use manual focus to avoid the constant noise from the focus shifting in the lens. Would work to video others but not self filming.What about using a Canon DSLR?

It will work. Lots of guys do it. Don't give up on it.Disregard the above. I would have to use manual focus to avoid the constant noise from the focus shifting in the lens. Would work to video others but not self filming.

Without the arm I always seemed to find myself with the camera in my hand when it should have been the bow and vice versa. Never knew which one to grab when I first noticed the activity. Murphy's law I guess. With the camera arm I can start the camera and only need tend it slightly with my free hand rather than decide if I need to set it down completely.A camera arm is never necessary but it makes the footage much steadier. The only requirement with filming is to have fun. If you aren't having fun, you need to reevaluate.
