The Celestron Car window mount worked beyond my expectations. Not only is it a very stable holder for binoculars, but it also can serve as a dolly for your home video cameras. The shots I've got look great!

The only thing is that I wish it were a little more heavy duty.. ie maybe not made from plastic parts. (the plastic is strong, it's just that it's plastic)

and a van, dark glasses, creepy smile, etc

you are good to go

I've used the mount with a full size SLR and several lenses. A 70-400mm zoom lens is probably heavier than the mount was designed for, but I've gotten some good night shots using long exposures with it.

It's quick to set up and take down and less obtrusive than using a full size tripod.

I purchased this window mount and it looked OK until I attempted to mount the plate on the camera. The one I received has a plastic folding handle on the camera plate mounting screw that is wider than the recessed area under the plate. Rather than ship it back I cut away the shoulders in the recess to provide room for the screw to turn.( Couldn't alter the handle as it has a metal pin that holds it to the screw) Then when the handle is folded down I have to use a screwdriver or knife to fold it back up as it fits so tightly in the recess that I cannot access it with my finger. The rest of it seems to work OK.
