Another important feature was the ability to provide some camera protection while walking to or from a hunting blind or tree stand. I didn't want the camera to be in a permanently fixed position on the side of my bow because it could be easily scratched or damaged as I walked through the woods to my hunting location. It was equally awkward to have the camera protruding from the bow as I tried to quietly stalk an animal. By using the swing arm you can store the camera in the forward position aligning it in the natual shape of the bow. For example, if you mount the camera above the stabilizer you can position the camera to be directly over the stabilizer and aligned in the same direction. This makes for a more natural fit and helps protect the camera when walking. When it is time to use the camera it can easily and quietly be pulled back into the desired recording position.
