The Kalkal Hunting Camera Arm gives you a simple way to film your hunt from a tree stand or saddle. Its adjustable and extended arm rotates around the tree to freely position your device. It is foldable and light enough to carry into the woods while supporting up to 10 lbs of camera gear. It’s a complete setup for hunters who need a self-filming kit to record their moments.
Hunting Camera Arm Features
- Secure Tree Mounting: The antler-style bracket and tree strap hold the arm against the tree and keep it steady while you film. Once it’s mounted, you can swing the arm around the tree to find any angle you want.
- Extended Reach for a Better View: The three-section arm extends up to 33 inches, so you can get the camera past branches or around the trunk to get a better view, or move the camera out of your shooting lane.
- Quiet and Quick Camera Adjustments: The silent pan head lets you change the camera angle without making noise. A built-in bubble level helps you get the camera straight, and the quick-release plate makes it easy to take the camera on and off.
- Light Enough to Pack In: At 2.2 lbs, the camera arm won’t add much weight to your pack. It folds down small enough to fit in a hunting pack or tree stand pouch. It also features a gear hook, allowing you to hang your backpack and accessories.
- Made for Hunting Conditions: The camera holder is made from 6061 aluminum with an anodized finish. It stands up well to scratches, moisture, mud, and the wear that comes with regular use in the field.
- Compatible With Different Devices: The included aluminum ball head has both 1/4″-20 and 3/8″ mounting threads, so you can use it with most DSLR and mirrorless cameras, action cameras, and smartphones.
The moment I attached the arm, the solid feel of the 6061 aluminum was obvious. The surface is smooth, the bolts are precisely machined, and the whole unit feels sturdy without being bulky.
In the field the arm held my camera firmly, even when I nudged it to change the view. The 10?lb capacity comfortably supports most trail cameras, and the two bolt sizes let me connect to a variety of mounts without hassle.
Setup is quick thanks to the intuitive quick?release mechanism, and taking the arm down is just as fast. This ease of adjustment makes moving between locations on a hunt straightforward.
A minor tradeoff is the slight extra weight compared with the lightest options, but that added mass translates directly into steadier, quieter performance.
Whether you’re filming while hunting, capturing wildlife or shooting video from your tree stand, this camera arm allows you setup without wrestling around with an entire tripod. It’s lightweight, collapses small, and packs easy with the rest of your hunting gear.
My favorite feature is that the joints are engineered to allow fluid movement with minimal noise. If you know anything about hunting, you know how important it is to not make ANY noise while trying to not scare a deer. The 33 inch reach allows you to move the camera around branches or your blind spot. The ball head allows for easy angle adjustments.
Construction-wise, the aluminum arm doesn’t feel flimsy by any means, but it also isn’t heavy. The included quick-release plate is great too if you want to switch between mounting a camera, GoPro, or smartphone. Overall I love this versatile camera arm for filming hunts or anything outdoors where you want to record stable footage without a lot of noise.
