Rock solid and versatile - BOG Deathgrip Infinite Carbon Fiber Tripod

The tripod is rock solid even with a very heavy DPMS SASS AR-10 on top. The locking legs are very easy to use, ball head works great. The rubber gun vice has a large opening allowing for large stocks and quad rails. The Swiss arca-rail makes fast changes between death grip vice and arca rail attachments. The tripod comes with a nice carry bag. I like the carbon fiber because it is more resistant to scratches than the aluminum painted version. The 1-pound weight difference doesn't matter to me. I wish the tripod came with sling attachments. Yes it has one leg with rubber for hand carrying, I want to sling the tripod over my shoulder for fast relocation during hunting, especially night predator hunting. The spikes are next to useless, you have to completely remove them, flip them 180, and thread them back in the legs. In the dark, after the legs are pushed in mud, horrible design, there's no way a hunter designed the spikes. Would I buy it again, Yes, I don't need the spikes for my hunting. I improvised a sling on the legs for quick response relocating during predator hunting.
