Description
The Grip Pod GPS.02 solves a problem every rifle shooter runs into: you want a vertical grip for close-in control, but you also want a bipod when it's time to settle in and stretch things out. Instead of picking one, this unit gives you both in a single piece of gear. It rides on your rail as a full-size vertical foregrip, and when you're ready to go prone or shoot off a barricade, a push of the button sends the spring-loaded legs snapping down into a stable platform.
What Makes the GPS.02 Different
This is the military-issue version, and the internals show it. The bipod legs are hardened polymer over stainless steel, which is where the toughness comes from. Grip Pod's reputation for durability is well earned here, with the design proven to handle serious abuse under field conditions and adopted for use across U.S. military programs. The body itself is advanced reinforced polymer, so you get real strength without hanging a bunch of extra weight off the front of your gun.
Running the Grip Pod GPS.02 in the Field
Deployment is genuinely fast. The release button sits where your thumb naturally lands, and once you press it the legs are out and ready before you've even finished getting into position. Retracting is just as easy, you fold the legs back up into the grip body and you're back to a clean vertical foregrip. When deployed, the legs give you around 8.25 inches of height, which is enough clearance to run a standard 30-round magazine without it dragging the ground. Folded up, it measures about 5.75 inches closed and won't snag on brush or gear.
Fitting It to Your Setup
The GPS.02 mounts to any standard MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail using a steel cross-bolt and thumbscrew, so it locks down tight and stays put once you cinch it. The grip has a hand-filling shape with deep texturing that holds up even with gloves on or wet hands. It also plays nice with optional Grip Pod accessories like single or double light rails if you want to add a weapon light or laser down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do the bipod legs deploy on the GPS.02?
The legs are spring-loaded and stored inside the grip body. You press the release button with your thumb and the legs snap out instantly, ready to shoot. To put them away, you just fold them back up into the grip and you're running a standard vertical foregrip again.
Will the Grip Pod GPS.02 fit my rifle?
It mounts to any standard MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail using a steel cross-bolt and thumbscrew. As long as you have a bottom Picatinny section on your handguard or forend, it will clamp on and lock down tight. It's a popular choice for AR-pattern rifles and similar platforms.
How tough is the GPS.02 really?
This is the military model, and the legs are hardened polymer over stainless steel rather than plain plastic. Grip Pod's reputation comes from field use in demanding conditions, and the design has been proven to hold up under a heavy static load. It's built to take real abuse, not just look the part.
Do the deployed legs give enough clearance for a standard magazine?
Yes. At roughly 8.25 inches deployed height, the legs lift the rifle enough for a standard 30-round magazine to clear the ground in the prone position. Folded up, it stays compact at about 5.75 inches so it won't get in your way.
