BESOX, I received a disk that when I bought my Sony. I download it down through that. I then need to convert the file and then import it to Move Maker which was a software that I had on my work computer. I then use that to do a tiny bit of editing (Title cut scenes, etc.). I then save it and download it to You Tube. I’m currently looking at a few other software’s, but have not chose anything yet.
Jami, It is a huge production when I go into the woods.
Most of the time I try to use a camera /tree arm. I invested in a GO Muddy camera arm and could not be more happy with it. I teamed that up with a Fluid Head and when I do use them there is a huge difference in film quality (no shaking, etc.).
CLICK HERE to see the GO MUDDY camera arm I use. If you are serious about filming hunts this is a must. You can spend more money than this, but for the price this does an excellent job.
I tried 3 of the $40-100 tree arms and they just do not even compare to the Go Muddy and pretty much a waste of money IMO. The GO Muddy has 2 different leveling mechanisms that really make things easy and make for better footage. GO Muddy also has a sweet ladder stand and a pretty good safety harness on their site. I used to hold the camera but that is hard to do and get good footage when of a good buck is approaching that you want to shoot. I’ve just got a normal pack and I carry the camera arm and my bow in the other hand. It is a lot of weight to carry throw in camera extra batteries, still camera, clothes, etc. and not to mention this time of year a decoy
