Know those legs that attach to the layout rod? Push the button at the top to extend or retract them? Is there some secret to adjusting the tension on the internal compression ring things so they won't slip when wet? Brand new Seco bipod and working in the rain the dang thing is slipping already and I haven't yet figured out how to adjust them, or if it's even possible. Thought it's worth a shot throwing it out there see if there's a solution.
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
Unscrew the black cap at the top of the lower section
Withdraw the upper shaft
At the base of that is a cone
Tighten or loosen the cone on the locking rod to suit
The linked video from SECO explains it well. You can often tighten it up on the fly by just turning the push-buttons.
The video emphasizes keeping the point threads greased to keep them from seizing up. The same is also true of the threads on the plunger cone threads, but the presenter doesn't mention it. The thing about that is that too much lube will grease the inside of the tube and the cone won't "bite". So just the tiniest bit of lube there. I like to use automotive anti-seize for the purpose.
Excellent. Very helpful. Thank you!

I remember holding the button down halfway and turning the lower section to tighten or loosen the clamping force.
