VANGUARD VEO 2 BH-50WM Window Mount With Ball/Pan Head

Observe or capture the moment from the comfort of your car with the VEO 2 BH-50WM Window Mount which easily attaches to vehicle windows. Alternatively this window mount can be attached to fences, hides, tree branches and many more options, enabling a steady platform for spotting scopes, cameras or camcorders. The base of this window mount has a clamp that opens up to 1.25"/31mm with a large surface area, with a non-slip rubber face to offer maximum grip on any surface. This is backed up by a solid thread and an ergonomic locking knob that makes it easy to tighten/release, even in cold and wet conditions. This window mount comes with an Arca Swiss compatible VEO 2 BP-50 Ball/Pan-Head as standard, offering maximum versatility for photography or bird watching with a spotting scope or binoculars*. This unique head is a ball head that comes with a removable telescopic pan-handle making it ideal for photographers or nature lovers. For example, the pan-handle can be attached when using a spotting scope or taking video with a mirrorless/DSLR camera, but is easily removed for more traditional photography. With a maximum load capacity of 11lbs/5kg, this window mount can be used with almost any spotting scope or camera kit** The long Arca Swiss compatible QS-71 supplied is designed to allow you to easily secure a spotting scope or camcorder to the window mount, but can also be used for a mirrorless/DSLR camera. The Arca system also allows you to select the right quick release plate for your needs, not just from Vanguard. For photography, this is a high quality, feature packed head that includes a friction control and separate pan lock that allow for the most technical of shots in landscape or portrait. The ergonomic locking knobs are designed to be easy to use in any conditions, even wearing gloves. The head can also be removed and used with any tripod/monopod with a standard 1/4" or 3/8" thread. For bird watching, the long quick release plate offers a secure fit for spotting scopes to be attached/removed from the head in seconds. Alternatively, if you have a spotting scope with an Arca Swiss compatible base (such as the Endeavor HD spotting scopes), then it can be slotted directly onto the head without the need for a quick release plate, making the most stable base possible. The telescopic pan-handle then helps locate and follow the subject, and the friction control can be used to control the degree of movement, for example, adding friction to allow more delicate movements. If the ball/pan-head design is not needed, then you can also consider the VEO 2 PH-28WM Window Mount with a more traditional 2-way pan-head with an 8.8lb/4kg load capacity With the new VEO 2 window mounts by Vanguard, you can cover miles of country without missing any of the details.
