ABSTRACT:
An easily adjustable scope mounting head and stand. The stand includes a stabilized base with a vertical rod extending upward. The scope mounting head is attached to the vertical rod. A ball and socket joint is located on one end of the mounting head and an adjusting knob is located on the opposite end. The ball is equipped with accessible mounting mens for attaching a spotting scope or similar article. When the user slackens the adjusting knob, the ball and socket joint is free to move in roll, pitch, and yaw. In addition, the entire mounting head can rotate about the vertical rod and slide up and down the vertical rod. When the user tightens the adjusting knob, all degrees of freedom are locked. Thus, the single adjusting knob provides all needed adjustment for the height and orientation of the spotting scope.
