Spotted something I hadn't seen before so I was curious if anyone had used one.

The picture is kinda crappy so it's hard to get a good look at how it's built, but the screw version is sorta tedious and if this worked as well or better I'd be tempted to pick one up.
Any thoughts?
I've got one. The leg release buttons are sometimes hard to access. The data collector gets in the way. The bipod legs are sometimes sticky and sometimes they slide too easy. Aggregating when your trying to find tune the bubble. There's got to be something better out there. It's got a nice case that I never use.
My old bipod had squeeze handles for adjusting and a foot step for securing the feet in the ground. The washer type foot steps don't seem to work as well.
It's the best on the market right now, but I've got my eye open for a better one.
I see.?ÿ How about at the actual clamp??ÿ Does the lever get loose and not grip the rod very well after a while?

Yes, they do. There is an adjustable cone on the end of each mechanism - screw it in to make the legs tighter. Pays to put a LITTLE never-seize on the thread to prevent them corroding solid?ÿ
We have one but I'm not the regular user.?ÿ I believe the nylon on the lever clamp wears away without a way to tighten up.?ÿ The last time I used it, I had to shim it up with some flagging.?ÿ I think I'd recommend the standard clamp with threads for use with rods of different diameters also.?ÿ I'll check it out and revise my statement if I find an adjustment screw.
