If you've ever done much wildlife photography you know how useful working from inside a vehicle can be. The vehicle functions as a mobile blind which animals tend to ignore; and it can provide vital protection on a safari. But you also probably know the headaches of using conventional vehicle camera mounts.
If you have ever tried using a tripod head, bean bag, or other traditional vehicle support then you know how hard it is to stay behind the camera when repositioning or panning. Many shots are missed due these issues when using a traditional support, but not with the WindowRail!
The SharpShooter WindowRail is a radically new way of supporting long lenses in a vehicle. The WindowRail provides support for long lenses and heavy setups while providing unmatched flexibility. It allows for easy panning, rapid repositioning, and a much wider range of mobility and functionality than any other vehicle support.
