    I do a vast majority of my hunting in a deer blind, and I love digiscoping with a spotter. I currently use my RRS tripod for this, but sometimes there’s just not enough room for it.

    Is anyone aware of a clamping platform that I could use? Idea would be clamp something to blind window frames of various widths (~1/2-3 1/2”) and put a micro ball head on it.

    I’m not sure this requires a RRS-level investment but I could be wrong.
     
    I have a vehicle window mount for my spotter, but definitely not near wide enough for a window frame. However with some padding and a small C clamp, I would think you could mock something up that works pretty well and doesn't cost 1K



    LOTS of options in the link above

    If you are somewhat handy you could whip up something like this:

    I don’t think their model opens as wide as you’d like. (They sell cheaper models too, which also have the same limitation)

    With a ballhead on there you wouldn’t even need to go that complex. Could use an old-style wood clamp and mount the ballhead on that.

    This one is at Rockler:

    Not cheap but it is a neat package. I do not blind hunt much so could not justify when I saw it.

    I could see that for wives, kids, or old folks and heavy rifles.
     
    I’ll throw a Fortune Cookie over the blind window and kill any damned thing I need to with a rifle. And it sure seems royal retarded to spend the money on that contraption just for digiscoping. Not to mention it looks massive and you still have to go buy a bipod and a ballhead for it.
