Bog-Pod Deathgrip Bog 1196127 Bantam
The Bog-Pod Deathgrip Bantam is a lightweight tripod designed for shooters who need stability without the bulk. At just over 3 lbs, this compact tripod delivers solid support for rifles and shotguns during range sessions, hunting setups, and field work—without wearing you down during the hike in or out. If you've been frustrated by heavier tripods or wobbly shooting sticks, the Deathgrip Bantam bridges that gap with aluminum construction and a clamping head rated for up to 40 lbs of holding weight.
The adjustable height range from 20" to 42" covers everything from kneeling to sitting positions, so you can dial in a comfortable shooting geometry whether you're glassing hillsides, zeroing at the range, or taking a precision shot. The twist leg locks stay quiet and secure—no rattles, no fumbling—while the 120-degree tilt adjustment lets you track targets or adjust for uneven terrain. You get full 360-degree pan control too, which matters when you're following movement or working steep slopes.
Build quality is straightforward: small-diameter aluminum legs, non-marring rubber inserts to protect your firearm, and oversized rubber feet that grip without sliding on rocks or hardpan. A retention strap keeps the legs bundled for carry, so setup and breakdown stay quick and quiet in the field.
