Introducing the Generation 2 for our Sub One Camera Arm. True to its name, the Sub One Camera Arm weighs under a pound and packs easily in your pocket, dump pouch, or backpack. This makes it ideal for hunters venturing into self-filming and mobile hunters.

New for the Sub One is our redesigned base, which allows you to set it on the tree using just a cam buckle strap. This is possible because of a cam locking feature at the bottom of the base. We even developed a sewn hook in our strap to eliminate having to thread the strap into the cam buckle. We included a 1" slot for guys who still would like to run an OCB strap. All the fasteners are custom Black Oxide Stainless steel shoulder bolts, so you get a clean look and smooth movements with each arm.

We primarily designed the Sub One for saddle hunters, as we designed it to keep the camera arm close to the tree and away from your body when moving it around the tree. We've also developed a version tailored to treestand hunters needing a more extended reach.

The innovative slot design enables the Sub One to pack away tightly, fitting in your hand while providing 105 degrees of up-down leveling adjustments. To simplify the leveling process, we've included a bubble level on the 3D-printed fluid head mount.

Upgrade your filming setup with the versatile and lightweight Sub One Camera Arm.

Pretty good!

Great compact small design. I'd like to see the tree it won't work on!
I was unfamiliar with the strap, so it took some time to figure it out. But, I did and I think it's great.
I'm thinking I'll be using it for many years to come!

Awesome light weight setup

Compact. Light weight. Quality build. Seems to hold my DSLR camera up just fine. Can’t wait to get into the woods

Unbelievably light and rock solid!

Simply put, the SubOne is hands down one of my favorite pieces of gear from G3D. I have used several other camera arms, and quite frankly they were all so bulky or heavy or both that I sometimes dreaded having to take them into the woods with me for just some casual self filming. This is not the case for the SubOne. With being so stinking light and packable, this arm never leaves my pack and I don't even notice that it's in there if I decide not to film that particular day. It sets up quickly, can be leveled easily, and works so smoothly. I run the 2 arm version because of saddle hunting and it has the perfect reach while staying out of the way when navigating around the tree. I'm usually just running my cell phone for myself, but I have been able to run my DSLR with a zoom lens and external mic that weighs 3lbs total without any issues at all. This is an arm that you have to get for yourself to see how light it is!

So versatile

I use my 3 arm for both saddle hunting self film and for when my wife films me from a lock on. Having the ability to reach around the tree and get the angle as well as the compact way it moves on close shots makes it second to none!
