Vortex car window mount - Vortex Car Window Mount

Suggested Design Modification - As with everything I have purchased made by Vortex, the build quality is excellent. That said, when using this mount for binoculars, there is one design issue that could be improved. The pan/tilt/lock handle is positioned such that it points directly back into the face/chin of the operator. This design makes it difficult and inconvenient to get the necessary eye relief for proper viewing out of binoculars. If the pan/tilt/lock control lever were offset, preferably to the right (imagine yourself sitting the the drivers seat of your truck and having the ability to move your right arm over the steering wheel), it would be easier to get your face properly situated for binocular eye relief. While I have not tried it, this may not be an issue with a spotting scope due to the difference in the size of a scope versus a set of binoculars. Attaching the the Car Window Mount on the window backwards so the pan/tilt/lock handle is outside the vehicle is not ideal. Mounting the binoculars such that the handle is either left or right simply does not work because the pan and tilt become useless.
