I have a Bog Death Grip aluminum version that I bought on sale a while ago and I am now getting used to shooting off of it and using it for deer hunting. I love the options it gives me while hunting. From shooting prone to standing up its a solid mount and my favorite way to shoot a rifle. I don’t like how heavy it is.
I bought this to see if I liked shooting off a tripod before I spent money on a nice one. I‘ve researched ways to change out the mount on the tripod which some claim weights 3-4 pounds. Using the oem mount has been okay but I think I would like an arca rail connection for better repeatability and also weight savings.
Little Crow Gun Works sells a ball head conversion on their website that I was looking at. I own some of their reloading tools in the and have been nothing but pleased with them.https://www.littlecrowgunworks.com/store1/360-Ball-Mount-Adapter-Kit-with-ARCA-for-the-BOG-Deathgrip-Tripod-44lb-Rating-p531774549
I have also seen some conversion kits for sell on Etsy and eBay as well as some diy videos on YouTube. The way the guy did it in the YouTube video he had to use a lot of make shift spacers to get everything to work and it just didn’t seem like it would be 100% solid reliable. Some of the kits on Etsy and eBay are confusing as to what is actually included in the packaging.
Has anyone converted their death grip tripod to use a ball head and we’re you happy with your decision? Did replacing the oem mount with a ball head save a noticeable amount of weight? Did you buy a kit or did you diy?
