Whether you want to film your hunt for memories or try to be the next big star on YouTube, self-filming is easier today than it has been in the past. For over a decade, I have been self-filming my hunts, and sometimes, I missed shot opportunities because I was messing with camera equipment or forgot to hit the record button. I found a few tools that have made self-filming inexpensive and easier.
Mag-Pro Plus
The Mag-Pro Plus, a tool I’ve personally used and found to be a game-changer, allows hunters to film their hunts using their cell phones with unparalleled convenience. Its simple attachment process involves unscrewing the front stabilizer, slipping the Mag-Pro over the screw, and then reattaching the stabilizer. The magnet plate in the pack is then placed on the back of your cell phone case. The earth magnet in the Mag-Pro ensures your phone stays securely in place throughout the shot, relieving you from the hassle of traditional filming methods and allowing you to focus on your hunt.

Mag-Pro X
If you hunt with a crossbow, the Mag-Pro X is the ticket to a new filming experience. It will sit on your crossbow scope using the same earth magnet technology, allowing a perfect view for your cell phone. The Mag-Pro attaches to the rings on your crossbow or the ones in the box, ensuring compatibility with most crossbows. The video footage it captures is genuinely remarkable, bringing your hunts to life in a way never possible.
Fourth Arrow Monopod
The Fourth Arrow Monopod is a reliable companion for filming in a blind or while hunting on the ground. Its kit includes a stake that ensures a steady experience while filming your hunt or taking pictures after success. I even purchased a fluid head for my Monopod to simplify videoing my hunts. The Monopod can hold video cameras, and there are other attachments for cell phones, providing you with a stable and reliable filming platform you can trust, even in the most challenging hunting conditions. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of hunting situations.
Fourth Arrow Baton Arm 2.0
The Baton Arm 2.0 is built for hunters who want to use a camera arm from their treestand. It weighs 2 lbs. and is easy to pack and attach to a tree. The arm can hold up to a six-pound camera, and when it is fully extended, it has a 25-inch reach. Quiet and mobile, it is excellent for hunters who saddle hunt.
Self-filming doesn’t have to be hard. These products have made filming my hunts and content for my social media pages easier. Work smarter, not harder, and enjoy the memories you make in the outdoors.
