BOG Deathgrip Ultralight and Great Divide Photo Tripod Adapter

Published on April 7, 2021
Duration: 10:25

The BOG Death Grip Ultralight is a rifle clamp designed to adapt photo or video tripods for firearm support. While it offers a stable platform for shooting, it exhibits too much flex for precise hands-free optic zeroing due to play in the clamp and tripod head. The reviewer found the BOG Great Divide tripod head to be less stable than a standard video tripod head.

Quick Summary

The BOG Death Grip Ultralight is a lightweight rifle clamp that attaches to photo or video tripods using standard 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 screws, and includes Arca Swiss adapters. It offers a stable shooting platform but can be too finicky for precise hands-free optic zeroing due to system flex.
