Description
The BOG DeathGrip has earned its reputation as one of the steadiest shooting platforms you can put under a rifle, and it comes down to that clamping head. Instead of resting your gun in a saddle and hoping it stays put, the DeathGrip clamps down and holds it in place completely hands-free. That means you can glass the field, work a call, or make notes at the bench without ever taking your setup down. The clamp is rated to hold rifles, shotguns, and crossbows up to 40 pounds, and folks have run everything from bolt guns to AR-10s with suppressors on it without issue.
What the DeathGrip Clamping Head Brings to the Bench
The head pans a full 360 degrees with tension adjustment and offers up to 25 degrees of tilt forward and back, so tracking a moving target or dialing in on a distant angle stays smooth. Non-marring rubber jaw inserts protect your stock and add grip, and the quick-adjust clamping lever snugs the gun down in seconds with a clean rotation. No-slip lever locks make setup fast and quiet, which matters when game is close and you don't want to fumble.
Built to Match Your Position With the DeathGrip Tripod
The aluminum legs adjust anywhere from 7 to 59 inches, covering prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing shots. Three-position leg angle locks let you set the stance for flat ground or awkward terrain, and retractable steel feet dig in for grip then tuck away for transport. An integral bubble level takes the guesswork out of getting square before the shot.
Where the DeathGrip Really Shines
At roughly 8.5 pounds of aluminum, this one is built for stand hunting, blind setups, and range days more than deep backcountry treks. That weight is exactly what gives it the rock-solid feel people rave about. Set it up on a porch, in a box blind, or at the bench and it stays planted. If you want dead-steady shots and a place to safely park your rifle between them, the DeathGrip delivers season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can the DeathGrip clamping head hold?
The patented DeathGrip head clamps rifles, shotguns, and crossbows weighing up to 40 pounds. The clamp adjusts to fit a wide range of stock and forend sizes, and users have run everything from bolt-action hunting rifles to larger ARs with suppressors on it. Non-marring rubber inserts protect the finish while adding a firm grip.
Can I shoot standing, sitting, and prone with the DeathGrip tripod?
Yes. The legs adjust from 7 inches all the way up to 59 inches, and the three-position angle locks let you dial in prone, kneeling, sitting, or standing. That range makes it easy for hunters of any size to find a comfortable, steady height in a blind, at the bench, or out in the field.
Is this tripod good for backcountry hunting?
It's an aluminum model at around 8.5 pounds, so it's built more for stand hunting, box blinds, and range days than long hikes deep into the backcountry. That heft is part of why it feels so planted and stable. If ultralight packing is your priority, BOG's carbon fiber and Bantam options shed weight, but the aluminum DeathGrip is hard to beat for a stationary setup.
Does the DeathGrip head pan and tilt for tracking targets?
It does. The head pans a full 360 degrees with adjustable tension and tilts up to 25 degrees forward and back. Set the tension to your liking and you can smoothly follow a moving animal or swing between shooting lanes without repositioning the whole tripod.
