Bog Death Grip Clamping Carbon Tripod Shooting Stick

I have used shooting sticks, bag rests, and bipods. I wanted a versatile platform to use for any position: prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing. This carbon fiber version is stiffer and lighter (by a pound) than the aluminum version, weighing in at 8.5 pounds. It is still too heavy to lug around for hunting unless you have a ground blind. Definitely way too heavy to carry in the mountains of Appalachia. The footing has rubber feet and spikes. Practically speaking, the spikes will be what you use the most, unless you're shooting indoors. The legs are thick. There are two joints which have very secure clamps. One leg has a foam wrap for carrying or for stability when shooting. I like that there are only two legs that adjust since many multisegmented legs get thinner and thinner, decreasing stability. These legs are stout. There is a level on the top of the tripod housing to ensure proper alignment.. The clamps are heavy, too, and do not make a lot of noise. The angle is adjustable with a 3 setting bar. It locks securely into place. There is a number setting to indicate your angle. The tripod operates on a swivel. It can be tightened but not tightened enough to prevent rotation. The swivel moves smoothly and adjustments are useful for a firm rotation, if necessary. The mounting of the rifle (bolt action or AR) uses a clamp design with rubber edges to prevent damage to your firearm. The tension is adjusted with a large knob. It is very secure and does not require a rail attachment; therefore, it is also useful for a crossbow. It has fitted my rifles very easily with the exception of my IWI Tavor SAR, since most of the weight is rear of the rifle. It can still hold the Tavor, but the up and down cant is not strong enough for the weight of the Tavor. The cant is adjustable up and down, and the tension is controlled by a large knob. The only limitation of this system is that you cannot angle the rifle, like you can with with conventional ball mount systems. It does not have an adjustable neck to raise the head, like a conventional camera tripod, either, but that would be less stable, in general. Lastly, the weight makes it limited for more stationary endeavors. Overall, this is very solid and stable.

The BOG DeathGrip Aluminum Tripod has been a great addition to my gear. It’s lightweight but feels very solid, and the durable frame gives me confidence that it’ll hold up over time. The bubble level makes it easy to get straight shots every time, and the legs lock securely without wobbling. Setup is quick, and it’s stable even on uneven ground — perfect for outdoor photography, hunting optics, or spotting scopes. Great tripod for the price, and I’d definitely recommend it!

Has made my life a lot easier shooting my gun for target shooting and hunting. It's a affordable tripod if you want to sight in your gun standing up or in other positions. Durable enough to take a fall. It's a little heavy if your not in conditioned shape The vise grip can enable you to walk with your gun in it over your shoulder. Make sure its tight enough.

Quality seems good but it's not high enough for me when standing. I'm 6'3" tall. I wish it were about 3 taller for comfortable shooting from a standing position.

Very impressed with the quality and sturdiness of this tripod. I bought the carbon fiber model. The clamp fully supports a heavy rifle, the legs are very sturdy. Im was worried about the over all height as I am 6'4" and wanted to be able to shoot this comfortably while standing. When the legs are fully extended it is the perfect height for me, so if you are over 6'4" this would not be perfect for you. So far seems to be a great value for the price.
