Tripods for shooting and scopes

1

Has anyone had any experience with the BOG DeathGrip Infinite Carbon Fiber Tripod? How does It stack up for shooting and for scope use? Thanks

2

I had some Bog products and they failed on me in the field. I don’t trust the brand to make quality gear.

I own several sunwayfoto tripods and they are great for the price. I just bought a higher end Leophoto tripod and will see how it does but they look nice. RRS makes very high end stuff and I’ve always liked them but they are pretty pricey.

Thanks! are you talking this one?

I also don’t care for BOG. I have a Sirui ST-124 w a vx5 head for glassing and RRS anvil 30 for shooting. That RRS head is expensive ($430), but it’s very stable and is compatible with arca and piccatiny rail set ups.

@backfire Any chance you your team has explored developing a tripod?

It all seems insanely overpriced and you don’t even get a head included with the tripod usually.

We’ve looked at it. It’s kind of odd how tripods are being priced. They’re offering retailers 50% margins. Seems like it’d open an opportunity for someone to sell direct to consumer for half the cost but I haven’t seen anyone succeed with that.

7

Have you thought of a review of the offerings out there? There are so many they look the same and the prices are wildly all over the place thanks for all you do

@jferreira414 thanks for the thoughts between glass and shooting. For right now I’ll be getting one for a spotting scope I think for range etc and as I get set up for the field I’ll look at shooting pods

Thanks all for sharing your experience with BOG. I was seriously looking at their products.

Me too I bought one showed up today from Amazon returned It un opened

I have a couple of the carbon fiber BOGs. First thig I did was to change the Arca ball mount. Made a lot of difference.

So you find It stable.. What head did you buy?

12

I got it off Amazon. Amazon.com is the link. I have bought 3 of them. I have 2 deer stands on my lease, and I leave one in each of them. I also carry one on my side by side. Says it isn’t available at this time, but there are a bunch of different ones on Amazon.

Two vet tripods are really good and are used by many in the long range shooting courses.

Along with this head

Leofoto MA-30 Low-Profile Inverted Ball Head Arca /RRS/ Picatinny Compatible

@RRCoffman1 Did you need a ball head conversion kit like this to add the head? I saw a big today in a stir seemed very sturdy. Thanks

15

glad to hear from you on BOG as I was considering their shooting sticks.
do you have positive experience with / recommendations for shooting sticks (as opposed to tripods & bi-pods)?

DITTO here. Browning Max LR 300 WIN MAG no issues. I also have the ARCA Swiss on and it works well also. Light weight, stays on target. I have the Browning Recoil Hawg muzzle brake on it, i modified it a bit to stay on target better.

So, I found this guy on Amazon and for the price it’s been unbeatable.

I went without the ARCA ball as I wanted something more robust. the 2vets ball with the area 419 clamp was my choice and it’s been outstanding:

That’s my set up. Leofoto and RRS ball head.

Has anyone used two vets

That’s all I used, great platform!
