Questions & Answers

You can remove the whole panhead from the window mount and install it on the vortex tripod, right? In other words, what about the vice versa? I appreciate your kind words. ?

It has never occurred to me to do that since I bought a separate pan head. My Vortex spotting scope has an angled eyepiece which will not work with the window mount. It has not even been possible for me to apply it to

How does it work with a scope mounted on an angle?

It will rotate if you can rotate the body of the scope. Apart from that, you're going to need to get the window low enough to allow you to see through it. This is not the best system for an angled scope, but it'll work just fine.

Could you please let me know the maximum weight it can hold for heavy cameras and lenses? Some of the lenses are over 4 pounds in weight. ?

It's okay to fully engage the clamp on the window, but you'll have to tighten it and ensure it's completely inserted on the window edge in order for the clamp to hold the weight. This means it might slip if it does not. For spotting scopes and other such devices, it is a good mount, but for a heavy camera and lens it is not up to the job.

Can you tell me how wide it will ?

My guess is that it is slightly thinner than car window glass, but it may not be more than an inch at the most (I do not own the mount anymore)

A great mount that is very sturdy
5/5

I will be able to use it this year with my Vortex 85mm spotting scope. Has very sturdy clamps for the window, and the horizontal swivel and vertical swivel motion seem very smooth as well. There is no flimsiness in this metal, since it is very heavy and solid. There are things to consider with this mount gloved hands may find the knob at the side a little difficult to rotate, but thin gloves should be fine some others commented they wish there was an adapter so it could be used on a tripod. Every system has its accessories. I will be using the 1/4-inch Manfrotto fluid head with QR plate, so I will be using their 1/4" QR plate as well After mounting a 20 mounting plate adapter and QR plate on top of this mount, I can take the QR plate attached to the spotting scope and move it to the tripod head and the There is no big deal about it. In the case of those manfrotto QR plates, they release with a lever just like a smartphone, and positively lock into place by pressing the plate into the adapter. Manfrotto doesn't have to be expensive and there are plenty of knock-offs that are very similar and will function just as well.

This is a very nice window mount
4/5

While the window mount is fine, it would be more useful if they had added a detachable mount like on a tripod so that it could be switched from the window mount to a tripod and back again.

The amount is substantial The window mount I ordered for use with my scopes recently was well built
5/5

I looked at two well rated window mounts and this one is the one I will start with. It is larger, the window purchase is greater, and the controls are easier to use. Vortex optics have clearly put the same quality into this window mount as it does in their products. A field scope I own weighs over six pounds, so this mount's larger size has made it easier for me to use . . . once it is firmly fastened, it stays there. There is less information to be gained from the image since all the images were not taken at the same time and side-by-side. The only thing to be gleaned from the image is how small the camera screw at the top is, compared to those used in images of This one would definitely be bought again and is highly recommended.

For mounting a spotting scope on a vehicle window, this is the best option
5/5

The Vortex window clamp I recently purchased is one of three window clamps I have. This clamp by far is my favorite, and I would buy another one if I could. I can say about this bag is that it's durable enough that I won't need to buy another one. No marks or damage to your window when it stays in place. I'm really pleased with the.

The quality of this is okay, but not amazing
3/5

That was made by or for Vortex, I find it hard to believe. I think they ought to be embarrassed to sign their names to That's the way it is. In any case, the rotation is jerky even when you loosen the knob all the way. My return or exchange option would have been easier if I hadn't waited so.

This is a very sturdy product
5/5

I'm very happy with the durability of the window in my car. Besides the mosquito net, I install a custom mosquito net on the window and on the roof. The lens makes a big difference in getting a great picture.

This is an easy window blind to adjust, and it is very sturdy
5/5

On the way to Klamath basin, I stopped at the overflow facility to view the overflow (Thousands) of birds migrate to the wintering grounds in the U. S. Almost all of our time was spent in our Sprinter van. mounting method that we used with the 88mm Kowa was a perfect match. It works well, adjusts easily, sits firmly on the window, is easy to take off and reinstall. It was perfect for what we wanted.
