Arca-Swiss Window Mount

[surprise]

Looking for an Arca-Swiss window mount for bino's and a spotting scope. Not looking for anything fancy, just something that will work. Scope/Bino's that will be used already have Arca-Swiss plates on the bottom and not really looking to remove them (they also work on my tripod).

thanks

can you explain what you are doing? I am pretty sure i may have 1-2 things thatll suit you

I have a generic car window camera mount that I put an arca receiver on the screw from the car window mount (10/4").

Just want to be able to use bing's and spotting scope off the window or similar item when I am not using my tripod. I currently have a RRS Leveling base and that is why I am looking for something that will work with an ARCA-SWISS style plate. Nothing too complicated, just want to be in the vehicle at times or mount something on a sheet of plywood or the like.

You can select other ballheads, but this mini bc-18 is strong! We can do some other stuff as well if you want an arms on it to extend it back towards your seat or if you want spotting scope and lrf mounted at the same time.

Hmm.... I wonder if that would work on a cattle guard or tank trap lol

It will, just not fast enough in my mind for competition. Also depends on how wide it needs to be. But the flat shoes will come off or you can rotate them so you have the ability to grab onto rails easier.

That is trick, not sure I am looking to spend that kind of $$ on something I will be using off and on. Appears as though you have to buy the ball head in order to make it rotate, pan and tilt?
Have you guys made the clamp that will take pic rails and dovetail for the Leveling base yet? Last time we spoke you thought it should be around October/November of 18?

still working on it now. But not just in concept stage anymore.

SWEET! I know you will have a home run with that! Any idea or estimate when they might show up on the wonderful inter-web for us to purchase?

 

[MPHReallyRightStuff]

I’m gonna hold on to that one for a bit, sorry. We are really focused on getting out the products we have on backorder before putting us on backorder status with yet another.

Ok, well please keep us updated as you are able to release any info on it. Back to the window mount, any other thoughts or product I could look at that is a bit more economical?

Went through something similar awhile ago. I ended up buying some cheaper clamps/plate combos from amazon that were listed on my thread, threaded them onto my existing window mount and tripod and then have the plates on my camera, spotting scope, etc.

I’ve seen our state police / game enforcement division with spotting scopes mounted on their window. Also the state fish and wildlife.

Makes me wonder if there’s something available from some kind of bird watcher place. Might be a bird watcher forum somewhere that might know. If you can tolerate going to a bird watcher forum. Seems to me birdwatchers tend to be on par with peta. So if you can stomach that.....
