Just bought the v2 no name will report back Have the 55mm 2vets low profile ball with dual ARCA clamp
FYI, if anyone is buying a bog tripod and wants to upgrade and change the head on it just know not to buy the bog death grip infinite just buy the original bog death grip for as far as I can see the infinite does not have a methodology of unscrewing The head that comes with it. The bottom pieces, the hook that hold weights, is glued into place so you cannot get that out. I called Bob and discussed it with them and they said the head is not removable from the infinite. I have not tried the standard bog death grip, but all the videos showed that in the conversion you can unscrew the head on the original at least for the non infinite. They’ve done the videos for which spans back about two years and the most recent one is four months.
I put a ARCA ball on the OG Bog. I had the deathgrip for when I was hunting out of my blind, but now I just use it for my spotting scope at the range. It’s heavy.

I am sorry but you are incorrect. I have two Infinites and had no problem removing the old arca head and replacing it with a better one.
Furthermore I use the BOG Arca from the Infinite to make a arca benchrest.

Thanks Why would Bog not tell me that stupid…
What model Leofoto are you using? I bought a sirui but it seems a little too light and flimsy.

These are the Leofoto models I have. Thrilled with them: the more expensive one is a heavy beast of a tripod. Great to shoot off of. The less expensive one is still pretty beefy but more for a spotting scope than shooting.

I tried a Tricer X2 tripod in a store today. I would not use that thing. The leg locks aren’t strong enough. Even when fully tightened, I was able to push down with minimal effort. No good.

Thanks for that info, Ben. Bought that tripod based on your comment and threw out my old heavy one today. I’ve only had it to the range one time, but feel it is something I can carry when chasing elk or belly crawling through a stubble field chasing antelope.

@backfire It would be pretty cool if you could make a high quality tripod in the $400-600 range. I bet they would sell like hotcakes

I’d love to do that at some point. For now, Leofoto is really good at that price.
