The Leofoto WN-03 Professional Car Window Stabiliser creates a solid support platform for photographing or filming wildlife from a vehicle. It is ideal for long lenses, cameras, spotting scopes and binoculars when a tripod is impractical or you need to remain safely inside the vehicle.

Unlike a conventional clamp that places weight directly on the window glass, the WN-03 uses two padded support arms to distribute the load across the vehicle door and window-frame area. Its aluminium construction, protective leather coverings and rubber contact points provide excellent stability while helping to protect the vehicle’s finish.

Please note: A tripod head is required and is sold separately.

Key Features

• Stable vehicle-mounted support: Provides a secure platform for cameras, long lenses, video equipment, binoculars and spotting scopes.
• Ideal for wildlife photography: Photograph or film comfortably from inside your vehicle without setting up a conventional tripod.
• 75mm levelling platform: The integrated platform offers approximately ±15° of adjustment, making it easier to level the mounted head on angled vehicle doors.
• Universal 3/8″ mounting stud: Accepts compatible ball heads, fluid video heads and other photographic supports.
• Protective contact points: Leather-covered aluminium arms and rubber end caps help prevent scratching or damage to the vehicle.
• Height-adjustable platform: Allows the support position to be adapted to different vehicle-door and window-frame shapes.
• Strong aluminium construction: Manufactured from high-quality 6061-T6 aluminium for an excellent balance of rigidity, corrosion resistance and manageable weight.
• Portable design: Weighing approximately 1.2kg, the WN-03 is easy to carry on wildlife trips, game drives and photographic expeditions.

Choose the Right Tripod Head

The WN-03 includes a standard 3/8″ mounting stud but does not include a tripod head. Choose your head according to the intended application:

• Ball head: A versatile choice for still photography and general wildlife use.
• Fluid video head: Recommended for smooth, controlled panning and tilting while filming wildlife. 
  Roger de la Harpe pairs the WN-03 with the BV-15 Fluid Video Head.
• Gimbal or long-lens head: Suitable for larger telephoto lenses where balanced movement is important.

Ensure that the chosen head is correctly rated for the combined weight of your camera, lens or optical equipment.

Vehicle Compatibility

The padded arms must make secure contact with suitable structural surfaces and should never place the equipment’s weight directly onto the window glass.
