Does anyone have suggestions on how to incorporate them? I know distance is limited with go pros but thought I could get some cool footage. Thanks Any day in the woods is a good day

The camera could be turned on/off through the ap. Sounds like a long shot to be able to activate it without being seen but maybe in some cases you would have a heads up that a deer was coming and activate it then.

I clamp mine on my bow just below my sight. Use the "One Button" feature. Wrapped in the camo that gopro offers and put an extra piece of black duct tape of the indicator light.

I bought the Tactacam 4.0 and it has a 5x zoom and will give great vids out to 100yds When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be
