DeathGrip UltraLite Head

I have used the Jim Shockey Primos trigger stick with the 'V saddle' for Texas hog hunts, and I recently saw some videos with guys using saddles to hold their guns. I purchased this and used the 'tripod screw' plate that came with my Primos, and it fit with no issues*. The good is that the cradle seems to be made decently and is sturdy. It clamps my AR10 6.5 Savage Long Range and feels secure *The bad is that with the Primos Trigger stick, there is slop in the mechanism that clamps the tripod screw plate. This is no fault of the saddle, but a weakness in the Primos Trigger Stick head. I would not clamp my gun and walk away from it, for fear the head might pop off, and the thing that holds the plate is plastic. If I 'balance' the AR10 in the saddle and clamp it seems less sketchy and takes more strain off the Primos head, but I would suggest either put this on a real tripod *or* use it only for balancing the gun when hunting or target shooting - just remove the clamp/gun from the Primos stick before you walk away. It does help steady my aim quite a bit, and that is what I was looking for. I think it plus the trigger stick will be a decent enough lightweight companion until I invest in a beefier field tripod.

Works very well. Holds the rifle steady for amazing accuracy.

Will not tighten up enough to hold rifle without breaking adjustment wheel off.

This saddle gun holder is rock solid as far as the gripping portion of the head unit and very sturdy. My complaint is that of many other users here who say that the ARCA Swiss rail is too small. It is ever so slightly too small. If I use a little bit of force, I can slide it out of my adapter plate on multiple head units. It holds my rifle so well that I am willing to live with it, but it would be much better if I didn't have to find a work around to this problem when ARCA-Swiss is a standardized size. Overall, VERY solid saddle and holds my rifle easily for 300+ yard shots. I had a BOG deathgrip carbon fiber tripod, but it was very bulky. I found a much more slimlined tripod and attached this head unit to it for a smaller footprint.

Well made vice, Mounts securely on a tripod. Does what it claims to do. I purchased it to sight revolvers in my home. The vise does not close enough to grip most of my handguns. I probably could have put a few pieces of rubber on the sides, but did not want to fool around with making adjustments. I returned the item with no problem re Amazon's very fair return policy. This vice will probably work very well with long guns.

When I first open this item, I was VERY exited. THIS was going to allow me to sight in my rifles at an indoor range at 25 yards, using the ballistic data from the ammo cartridge manufacturers site with all of the pertinent info I required. WHOA! SLAM ON THE BRAKES! While attempting to tighten the 'jaws', the triangular plastic mechanism started to spin around & around and not turn the screw after a bit. Turns out that's because it only has this tiny set screw that sits on top of the main screw to try and hold the 'tighten, loosen' adjustment in place. What.A.Joke. Now, if they had drilled all the way through the screw, and placed a cold-rolled steel pin in it, that would have been perfect (but, then again I hold two Masters from MIT, so I prefer to do things correctly). Now, I'll have to make that modification in order to keep this sub-standard POS. I can't believe they have a list of $100 for this thing. You would think they would have designed it PROPERLY as to NOT allow the main adjustment for tightening and loosening to simply utilize a stupid set screw against a set a machined screw edgings. WHAT a bunch of clowns. Where did you BUY your Mechanical Engineering degree from? Taiwan. You are a disgrace to all engineers, everywhere. Re-design this obvious extreme fault, and save face. Good God, guys. It's the right thing to do. What I did to re-design it in order to be usable... The 'tri-pointed' open/close wheel is a left-handed thread. I first drilled thru the useless set screw and into the threaded screw a bit. Then did it again with a larger bit all the way thru. Cleaned up the end of the threads with a cloth soaked with Windex, as well as the inside of the 'tri-pointed' open/close wheel. Mixed up a binary epoxy and filled inside half of the 'tri-pointed' open/close wheel with it. Spun it onto the center screw counterclockwise while probing for the hole I'd drilled with a finishing nail that was the same diameter as the new drill hole I'd made down into the screw. Then tapped it gently with a hammer to 'seat' it deeply enough to be permanently hardened along with the binary epoxy. The following day I used my Dremel tool to cut off the finishing nail sticking out of the tightening handle perfectly flush. It NOW works like a charm, and actually tightens as advertised after being subjected to a bit of re-engineering that should last quite a while. Be able to remove the tightening/loosening handle is superfluous since its function TECHNICALLY does NOT require its removal.

Great product

Poor clamping needs bigger clamp wheel on vertical adjust Or gun starts moving. Just feels like not worth the money more of a £50~75 clamp.

Very happy with the product. Great quality and works perfect!! Well worth the money

Fits good and works great

La fabrication semble très robuste et va très bien avec mon trépied, j'ai hâte de l'essayer en période de chasse.

Set this up with my rifle pointed at trail, never moved the rifle just sighted and shot an unbelievable whitetail. I now own the complete Bog Pod set up.
