Blind window clamp

[Crews]

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

Why not buy a really long Arca rail and screw it to your window frame. Then use a ball head with Arca clamp on the base so you can slide it anywher in the window frame. This is what I was planning to do on a whitetail blind too.

One of the window mounts attached to a quick-clamp. Is what I use for my LabRadar on 4" thick concrete bench tops.

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.

Lol I was gonna suggest some more fancy photo clamps but refrained. That one might work.

One can spend hours surfing weird stuff at BH.

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

I've used them to mount cameras in lots of places including basketball backboards.

I could see that for wives, kids, or old folks and heavy rifles.

Yeah I went down that rabbit hole for a few minutes and was very quickly overwhelmed!

Too much for you ?

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.
