I got the Reaction cam from moultree. It can mount on a munch mount for perfect veiw. I need to jimmy up sum form of tapered bracket to fit like a quiver. Although this year I got a lease with towers n windows, so I may use my phone!, believe or not it works as a darn nice camcorder.. I can lean it on the window sill :lol:

Maybe a DXG125v, small compact HD video camera, one button for power one for record, takes sd mem cards. Has a splash-proof housing, bout the size of a pack of cigarettes, or a candy bar, weigh's 3 oz. Usually reasonably priced on ebay.
Also takes still photos.

Yes, I use the GoPro and found the best way is to use the head strap mount. On the right "field of view" it works well. When it's on record everything I'm looking at it's recording. I like it and have some good footage. Get the WiFi and your good to go!

I have an I-Kam, worked pretty good during turkey season. I just bought a range finder mount and plan to mount a regular digital cam to it. Not sure how the recoil will react with it yet. I made a mount for my compound to mount a digital cam and it works pretty good. I just need to kill something with it.

GoPro for us.
Made an extension for the quiver mount, also one for the old quiver mount under the rail.
Ended up getting the remote control for it, it velcros to the rail so I don't have to move my hand to start and stop recording.
The new app for Android phones is incredible, operates all functions of the camera and allows to see the field of view from the phone screen.
This year I would like to mount it behind me somehow, to video the whole hunt opposed to the view I get from the bow.
There are some inexpensive camo "skins" for the unit too.
