Useful with camera or spotting scope. Well made.

This Nikon window mount is built solid and has thick padding to protect the window. It has separate horizontal and vertical adjustments. The only negative thing is the position of the mount where the shoe attaches, which leaves the base of the spotting scope hanging a bit over the edge; however, it’s still stable.

The mount worked exceptionally well though I decided car mounted scoping didn't work that well for me (I'm not nearly flexible enough). I gave the mount to my daughter ~ she loves it and will get much more use out of it! Yes, she has the scope too!

Hefty construction. Limitations include inability to tilt along horizontal axis when attached to car window, as noted by others. Quick release plate is different dimension from that used on various popular tripod heads, such as Promaster tripod. It would have added to convenience of use if they had designed it to accept a wider range of standard tripod base plates.Added bonus is that the window adapter can be left attached to camera when not mounted on window - this unit then provides improved hand held stabilization when resting panning handle against shoulder and pressing left palm against window bracket. Works well with SONY a6500 IBIS (In body image stabilization) with 55-210 mm lens, adding further vibration reduction of at least one additional EV stop. Rest handle against right shoulder, and view through EVF (electronic view finder) with right eye.

Has worked great with our Celestron Optima 80 scope for birding. Haven’t tried it with my camera - but I feel pretty certain it would work well. It’s user friendly, despite all the different ways to adjust it (which we love!). My 8 year old figured it out and uses it regularly for birding with the scope. Personally I like using it a million times better than a tripod. ;-)

Not sure what some don't like about this, the quality is awesome and it is built to be heavy duty. I can see where over-tightening could potentially be a problem. Tighten it just enough to hold it in place, common sense.Also, you do NOT need a separate ball head on top of this. It comes with a quick-release plate that is removable, and does the job just fine. There are tightening knobs for all directions.It works great, I think it is an excellent value, and I look forward to putting it to good use.

Works well. I would like the adjustment on the opposite side.

Maybe good for a small light lens on a small light camera, but no good for a supertele lens on a standard DSLR. Feels like it's going to snap the top of the window off, so I don't use it.

Pros: Good solid Construction, smooth traversing features, nice padding friction lock for the window, I used 60mm+ optic spotting scope with no problems in weight to design holding it to the window. I would suggest to use compact 50mm objective optics, but that is user preference for what you are doing from bird watching, spotting, camera use. Mine had a quick release detach for quickly mounting other optics with a quick release base feature. Simply pop in and turn the locking lever and it is secure. That is a nice feature to remove the optic for driving and then putting the optic in place in about 1 second secure rather than unlocking the window mount as a whole cumbersome unit. I read reviews elsewhere where it was said this was not a solid construction. Well, it is solid construction and that is not a problem on this model window mount. I would buy this again and recommend it to my friends.Cons: None, it does what it was designed for and is solid construction. It would have been nice to have 2 other quick release pop in mounts for a camera / other as a kit complete for a few bucks more, but you can get them on here at Amazon.Bottom Line: Worth the price and I would buy again for a compact spotting scope mount with a Quick Disconnect feature.

The device holds onto your car window, like a little vice, and provides a standard camera/spotting scope attachment. It also has a quick release, to get the scope on and off quickly.The only disappointment was that a spotting scope with a prism, to allow looking down, does not work as well. You just cannot get your head high enough, because of the car top, to look down very well.It is most steady with the car door closed, but can be used with the door open. This compensates if you have a scope with a prism. It can also mean that you can take the scope, and the little window mount, on an airplane, and skip the big tripod. If it is windy, the gusts will blow the door, and make it unsteady.
