I mainly hunt from a climber so I run a Panasonic HC-W580K mounted to my stabilizer. It has a rear facing twin camera displayed as a PIP to capture the draw and my reaction to the shot. Hard to beat 2 cams in one. To take the shock out I rigged up a quadcopter mount that uses 4 rubber dampeners. Works pretty well.
For interviews and shots from a blind I use a Canon D70 with a Rhode Pro shotgun mic. I don't like messing with a lav mic.
I use a GoPro Hero4 Silver for the action scenes (walking, in stand, mounted to bow hanger, etc.). These are supplemented by the iPhone6, which is quick, easy and convenient at times.

I bought Panasonic HC-v770. This is my first year to video. I pack a long way into public land so wanted something small and good quality video. Only complaints are when trying to zoom through limbs it'll focus on the limb instead of deer and it's not the quickest and easiest to switch over to manual focus.

Nice cam! I was looking hard at that one but it didn't have the rear facing second cam.
Excellent work with the video!

I may get a go pro later or similar to go on my gun to get me. I can link the camcorder to my phone though and supposed to be able to dual record using the phone as second cam I just haven't messed with that yet
I hear you on getting things lined up in time. It can be tough.
The model I bought will also do the link to the smart phone as a second cam. Have yet to explore that mainly because it records as a pip on the main screen that you can't edit independently. Neat feature but somewhat limited. I'd rather capture the second video track independently and pull it in as needed in post. On the other hand the rear facing second lens that is built in saves me from having to start a second cam because it automatically records with the main cam. Then you can turn it off with an on screen control.
Thanks for posting up. I enjoyed it and the video.
