The little trick here is a little bean bag, which I always carry
with my compact camera. Mine is actually a rice bag. Lentils and
similar things work just as well. Even sand works, but is heavy.
If you make one, it has to be about half full, never completely
full. And it can be fairly small, about as big as the camera,
but not as thick.
You can put it on top of the upper edge of the window glass
pane, then you can crank the window up or down to adjust the
height. You can also fold the bean bag into a corner of the open
window area and squeeze the camera against it.
Its main advantage, compared to putting the camera directly onto
something, is that you can adjust the camera angle, and the
camera tends to stay that way more easily.
