Any photographers on here?

I am trying to find, some sort of clamp/adaption for my Manfrotto, to be attached to my roof rack.

Don't want to have to buy another tripod, which I know are available.

Got a very large lens I want to use up there!

Also trying to source a very light weight, solid roof rack base?

Don't know about clamping to the roof rack, but i have seen a clamp that fits onto a window opening before now... can't for the life of me remember where though!

Big glass? I'm interested - what is it and what are you snapping?

Thanks for that.

I had looked at warehouse, just worried about the weight. I think I will just try and make a light weight base, and go from there. Maybe I can put something on the base, rather than fix to the rack.

Not as exciting as I would like!! lol.....Sigma 500mm

Mainly for wildlife, obviously buzzards, kites & ospreys are my main prey, living where I do!
We have an owl on the farm, would love to get him!
That extra height would make for such better shots around here.

Me is way too old for climbing trees!!!
