rick1970 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 My biggist beefs with the window mounts are - The the fact that the roof cuts off the light beam when looking down on the off side. May not be much of a drama on flat country, but a PITA in hilly aeras when you are trying to look down gullies on the oposite side that the light is mounted on. They get in the way a bit if you are shooting from the window the light is mounted from. If passenger is using the light from their window and you spot something they cant see, its easier to grab the handle of a centre roof mount than a window mount in the oposite window to put the light where you want it. Good points - Easier to use alone if you are shooting outside the car (over the bonnet etc) and need to move the light, no need to reach inside the car. Obviously no hole in the roof like a roof mount, and can be used on your mates ute in the really rough going aeras If you want to make one, a gas strut (car bonnet etc) can be used to spread the mounts and make it a quick easy fit for differant window sizes. Mine uses a long bolt to spread the mounts, is slow to fit and has a very narrow band of adjustment but but holds very well (quite enough force to spread the window frame if you overdo it). My homemade handle will foul the mount at some angles but is not a real issue. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
