Bushnell 784405 Car Window Mount, Black

10 pans outta 10>>>>>>>>>>
I got this to attach an external flash for car window mounting at a bird refuge. I wasn't really prepared tech wise for this, BUT it worked perfectly for what it is. That said, I also want to say, the pictures for this item do not do it justice. I originally passed over this mount to look for something a little more beefy or stable. NOT to WORRY, the minute I pulled this out of the box, I was pleasantly surprised. Bushnell has always had a great name for quality gear, and this is quality too. The window mounting portion is VERY secure. Tolerances of all moving parts seem expertly machined. 360 degree swivel, lockdown, and up/down movement is precise. This is a truly nice hefty piece of equipment for the lowly price in the $20-$30 range. Once you put this in your hands, it feels like a more expensive hunk of machinery. The picture on Amazon looked a little frail to me, NOT! Unit allows for mounting on other things too, with a wider opening than just windows.I cannot imagine another product competing or rivaling this item at the Amazon selling price. Get it!!

Also pick up some thread Locker
This one is way better than the first one I had bought with the single hinge and broke it the second time I used it I saved a little money and bought this one that had been returned I would have given it 5 stars but it has a set screw in it that the instructions failed to mention at all that's why It was sent back someone screwed the set screw all the way in tight and then wondered why it didn't move left to right and scarred the shaft up you have to back it off one or two revolutions and then put a couple drops of blue threadlocker on it and then it works great

A Mixed Bag
This is a hard review to write. It was such a mixed bag!I bought this support to hold my Canon Vixia camcorder. I often go out to the bird refuges in northern California, and you are not allowed to leave the car (which is your "blind") - hence shooting from the car is your only option.Hence - I needed a small, cheap, car-window support... I guess I expected a tripod head, and this is anything but.PROS:- Small, lightweight- Strong enough to hold a small spotting scope and a camcorder- Usability - you don't need a manual to know how it works... pretty intuitive all right- Cost - can't beat it!- Reliability - looks good enough so farCONS:- The handle moves along one axis only! Don't expect to use this as a tilt/pan head!- The base that holds on to the glass. This was a surprise! Most of today's cars are aerodynamic, hence have curved windows in the front. If you notice the base us "square" and therefore cannot rest on a car window. It slides and tips all over! The two pieces of metal and rubber that are supposed to hold the glass are too far apart, and the hold is weak- A spirit level costs nothing, and I was expecting a built-in level. No such luck!All in all, you may want to get this in order to mount a spotting scope on the car, but this is certainly not amenable to any photography

Too big
I could not use this. With window in lowest possible clamping position I could not get my eye to the eyepiece on a spotting scope. Maybe if the window was about 6” taller.... would work for a camera when you look through the rear but not a spotting scope.

This showed up today...So I was kind of disappointed to open it and see the size of the screw head thread on the screw as i appeared too big to mate with my scope way too big for my Bushnell spotting scope. So on seconda look it was a multi fit screw (i.e. a screw inside of a screw). I removed it and it fit great on my scope also fits on my Nikon D50 (be it old as it is still takes great pictures......... Great product

Good tool!
I like this as I look out my truck windows at elk or deer. The only thing is I'd suggest a straight through spotting scope instead of the angle aperture.

Worth the $$
Solid window mount for my 20 x 60 spotting scope. Nice addition to the tripod & scope kit

Just what I was looking for, perfect height for me in the car. Well built, good price.

Not high quality
The mount works just okay. It’s constantly coming loose though and I can’t seem to get it to stay tight and hold the scope in place. This makes focusing on a deer a mile away tricky when you’re trying to keep it steady yourself instead of the mount holding it in place. Would recommend spending a few extra bucks on a vortex or Leupold mount instead.

Bien pero con matices.
Teniendo en la mano, se le ve bien, robusto, movimientos suaves, bien en general, he salido con el un día, y me vaso en este día, le enrosco en la ventanilla del coche, con cámara de vídeo, todo correcto al tiempo de quitarlo noto que algo se ha caído, me pongo a buscarlo encuentro una arandela de bloqueo, creo saber de donde es, pero no lo veo ni medio normal, eso que me ido al mas caro, quitando esto el modelo va muy bien, a no se que la próxima vez se caiga otra cosa. Me gustaría que me contestara el fabricante para al menos sepa de donde es esta arandela, pero vamos no hay muchos sitios.

Ottimo
Tutto quello che c'è da aspettarsi da un supporto per il finestrino. Ottima fattura, solido perchè in metallo, molto fluido nei movimenti della testa, comodamente governabile con la manopola per direzionare e blocco/sblocco.

Sorprendente Bushnell
Strumento molto efficace per la wildphoto dall'autovettura. Robusto, facile da usare e soprattutto stabile anche con teleobiettivi pesanti. Chi ama la foto importante deve assolutamente comprarlo e non si pentirà.
