Thread: Ultralight bipod

Good skill with the multiple reply Norway. @R93 would never go to a doctor just because he pissed himself. There are two occasions when good kiwi blokes can do that and not worry. The first is when we are having a good laugh as in this instance at your golf swing with a fencing baton and the second is when we get so mulleted (drunk) at our 21st birthday that we just don't care. Ha ha ha ha

The attachment system looks far superior to the traditional sling-stud clusterfuck.

Better than the standard Versapod gigantic lump that takes 20 minutes to remove and weighs a pound, too.

It is actually quite smart. A small threaded case is put over your ordinary sling stud. A steel bolt goes through the case and the eye of your sling stud. The adapter is put over both. Basically the construction makes it impossible for stuff to fall off, you need material breakage. It comes with a small tool, making it easy to tighten/ compress the rubber shim protecting the stock and thus stopping sideways movement as well.

I lile the embedded pins best, but this was a smart solution to using the sling studs.

Hi Norway, Ive found a tripod called a Neopod on google. Do you think it is the same as your one.

That's pretty steep. But if they are as robust as they look might be worth it in the long run. I can easily and have spent 500 hundy, on more useless shit. Diesel kms for example

I emailed them and they said the bipod will be available in Oct for US$350. Maybe a group purchase will bring price down??

At US$350 + freight the purchaser will be paying GST and fee to Customs on arrival.

A group purchase might lower freight and price to the point at which GST isn't paid. If so I might also be interested.

Huh? A group buy will almost certainly result in GST being paid as the value of the package will well exceed the GST threshold. Would only be if the package somehow got through customs hit and miss system that no GST would be paid.

Given that 1 bipod should in theory attract GST, the benefit of a group buy would be a lower freight cost per bipod and maybe a bulk discount for the entire order
