I do sell the ones I make .....
Here is a short (16 1/2 inches) monopod that can work with a good head ( not as good as my bodypod - but can work)

Maybe I wasn’t clear with my question about a way to shoot out the passenger window. I’ll try again.
I’m driving thru a refuge....not allowed to get out of your car....by myself. I use a camera rest on my window but can’t hold the camera/lens steady while trying to shoot out the passenger window. Has anyone built an apparatus to use to rest the camera between the seats? I haven’t found one to buy....I appreciate your responses.

I didn't understand either. Sorry.
I'm thinking that if you had a monopod of the right height, you could use beanbags or similar pillows to wedge it firmly between the two front seats, stabilizing it but leaving some room for movement. My monopod just fits into the gap between the passenger seat and console, and I can wedge it firmly enough for most shooting with no additional items. I've only done it a couple of times, but it's handy to keep it in the car. I'll be sure to remember it the next time I go to a wildlife park!

I usually use a short piece of foam pipe insulation. It already has a slit, so it can be slipped onto the window and that makes for a decent rest for the lens!Has anyone come up with a prop or device so the driver can shoot out the passenger window?
