[BHC]

Not sure how they are, but GoPros are definetely the popular trend in those style cameras.

[BHC]

Yeah I think the GOPro is the way to go

On the product review page for the item, do a find for Haskell, and you can read my review.

The $98 camera I have is EXACTLY the same camera as the Polaroid one in the middle.  My camera even says "Polaroid" in the software.

Haskell, thank you for the info I will look further into it....Have you tried it while hunting?

 

I was looking at the Sony, and it got just as good reviews as the GO Pro 3

[Haskell_Hunter]

I got mine after last season ended.

 

I plan on attaching mine to the front of my kayak and going down the Musconetcong river if this rain keeps up.  However, I can attach it to my bow, so you can bet I'll be on my stand with it next season.  The camera starts with a button press and a slide switch.  I'd probably keep the switch "on" and just use the button to power it up.

 

It's probably not the best camera, but for less than $100 it's decent enough.

Does it come with a mount for the bow?

Unless you're going to use it A LOT I wouldn't waste the extra 100 on the black edition,the silver edition is fine.There isn't a big difference in the pictures. The black edition comes with a remote, but you don't  really need one.if you have a smart phone you can just DL the free app and use it,that's what I did and it works great.
