Vortex Optics Car Window Mount | Use with Binoculars & Spotting Scopes

This should work great with my Vortex 85mm spotting scope this year. Seems to have very solid clamps for the window, the horizontal swivel and vertical swivel motion. The metal is very solid and heavy, not flimsy at all. The knob on the side might be a little hard to turn with gloves on, but thin gloves should be fine. Someone else commented they wish it had an adapter to go from this window mount to a tripod mount. Like all things, accessories exist. I use a manfrotto fluid head with QR plate, so will be using their 1/4-20 mounting plate adapter with the QR plate on top of this mount, then I can take the QR plate attached to the spotting scope and move it to my tripod head and this mount. Not a big deal. Those manfrotto QR plates release with a lever and positively lock in place just by pressing down on the plate into the adapter or the tripod head. You don't need manfrotto brand, there are plenty of knock offs that are very similar and will get the job done.

Worked perfectly, used many times with no issues.

Product is very sturdy and well built

Great quality, easy to use I would recommend a good bag or case to store in

Seems to work fine with vortex spotting scope. Not great, not bad, just functional. Not the most sturdy with a heavy load, but ok

This thing is great on road trips or 4 wheeling for quick stop photo ops

Good product just wish it had a ball end for easier adjustment as most windows are not straight across

Went to Klamath basin to view the over-wintering birds (thousands). Most of the time we were in our Sprinter vehicle. The use of this mount with our 88mm Kowa was a match made in birdland. Works well, adjusts easily, solid on the window, easy to take off and put on the other side. Perfect for our needs.

Works well. Good for glassing from a vehicle. Solid and well built like all vortex products.

I have not yet used this however appears to be a solid build with smooth head.
