Tripods and Other Mounts

Besides the tripod, one of the most satisfying supports for a spotting scope is the car window mount. Your car is one of the most convenient and comfortable blinds for observing birds and animals up close, and using one of these mounts can be quite rewarding. They also are a great advantage to handicapped observers or for viewing in extremely cold or foul weather. They attach firmly to the partly rolled down window of your car providing stability for binoculars, spotting scopes or cameras with telephoto lenses. Most models feature a panning head with a positive control handle.
