Thread: Ultralight bipod

I think this bipod has potential of becoming the bee's knees for alpine hunting.
It has the handling properties of my Versapod, but not the weight.
Time will tell, one sample is too little to form a strong opinion on...

What is the make and model. Is it a carbon fibre or composite?

Were you testing the durability of the shooting mat or the bipod?

take my money! where do we buy those?

FFS! Thomas you missed your calling mate.
I pissed myself at the durability testing😂
Looks the bizzo tho mate I will buy one if it's not ridiculous in price.

Is there a way to attach it or does it just slip on/off?

As long as it's not diamond encrusted I will probably want one too! More details please

very cool

yeah Thomas, don't give up your day job for that cricket career mate

where do we send the money to ? looks like the bees knees

Group buy if enough interest

As long as you guys have lots of $$$$

I'm kinda keen on these ... More info would be great

He will be in bed I'd say.
We will hopefully get more info off him tonight.
He could also be out instructing at the driving range

Shouldn't that be getting instructed at the driving range

I strongly suspect golf is not one of my hidden skills. You might want to see a doctor about that other thing...

It clips on and off. You have to press the lever to get it off.

Cricket? That is the evildoers that slaughtered all those people in Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy?

It handles just like my Versapod. Without the weight and less friction in the material, so the response is a lot quicker.

I'll entirely stay away from golf methinks...

Multi-quote was fun!

I don't have that much info guys.
My contact is with the manufacturer, and with the money poured into their development I think it is reasonable to assume it will be sold "everywhere".
I also assume they let me publish my testing as I think it is both well protected with the patents and outside the technical capacity of most companies - the material really is high tech. I have been told the bipod would be available before Christmas. Price? I have no idea, I have nothing to do with the money side of that company.

My only gripe so far is that it doesn't attach to a standard Versapod pin. Their bipod pin works fine, it will come in a zillion variations, but I can't use my present pin which annoys me. Considering how solidly embedded the bipod pin is on my Blaser, it will have to prove itself on the CZ before I can be bothered to install/ integrate this adapter on the Blaser. Mind you, even my S&B PMII MTC/LT 3-20x50 spent a year in transition from range rifles before it ended up on a hunting barrel. My hunting is so valuable to me, it is just no way I'm losing hunting days to equipment failure - a lesson I have learned the hard way.

Hence the bat. The bipod looks flimsy, I was expecting the bipod to break when I loaded it. It didn't and the engineers says it's not weak. I don't trust engineers and their theory, I don't have all that much time available and had to speed testing up a little with a good whack. The owner spends a lot of money on this and don't entirely trust engineers either, so I was encouraged to find flaws and wear it down. I really like the bipod, it handles as a good bipod should but there is still some time before I fully trust it.
