Product Information
Full details
The StediLens Car Window Mount Stabiliser is designed for photographers and videographers needing stable, fluid shots from a moving vehicle. Its key benefit is providing gimbal-like stability for telephoto lenses directly from a car window in seconds. A potential caveat is its reliance on a clean, flat window surface for optimal grip. This mount offers a quick and secure solution for capturing dynamic action shots with significant lens weight, featuring vibration damping and a non-slip silicone insert.

FAQs
What types of lenses can I use with the StediLens?
The StediLens is designed to carry the weight of heavy telephoto lenses, making it ideal for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras with long zoom or prime lenses.
Can I use this mount on the outside of the window?
No, the StediLens is designed for interior use on vehicle windows to ensure security and protection from the elements.
How quickly can I set it up?
The StediLens is designed for rapid deployment and can be set up and ready to shoot within seconds.
Will it work on tinted windows?
The StediLens typically works on most standard tinted windows. However, very dark or textured tinting might slightly affect grip; testing on your specific tint is recommended.
How do I clean the non-slip insert?
You can clean the silicone insert with a mild soap and water solution or a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching it to the window.
Is it suitable for heavy rain or extreme weather?
While designed for use in most conditions, it's best to avoid extreme weather that could compromise window grip or visibility. Storing it dry when not in use is recommended.
Does it come with a ball head for my camera?
The StediLens includes a ball mount that attaches to your camera or lens. You then insert this ball into the StediLens Window mount. You do not need a separate ball head if your camera/lens has a standard tripod socket.
Troubleshooting
Mount does not seem to grip the window securely
Ensure the window surface is clean, dry, and free of any oils or dust. Press firmly onto the window to ensure the silicone makes full contact.
Excessive vibration despite using the mount
Verify that the lens and camera are properly seated in the ball mount. Ensure the StediLens itself is firmly attached to the window. Check for any loose parts on your camera or lens.
Ball mount is stiff or difficult to move
This is normal during initial use and can become smoother with use. Ensure any locking mechanism on the ball mount itself is disengaged. Check for debris around the ball head.
