Description
The BOG DeathGrip Carbon Fiber Tripod does one thing better than just about anything else in the field: it holds your gun for you. Instead of resting your forend on a bag or a set of sticks, the patented clamping head grabs the firearm and locks it down completely, freeing both hands to run your binos, work a call, or fine-tune your dope while your rifle stays put and on target. That kind of stability makes a real difference on longer shots and helps newer or younger hunters build confidence behind bigger calibers.
What the DeathGrip Clamp Brings to the Table
The head is where this tripod earns its name. Non-marring rubber jaw inserts cradle the firearm without scuffing the stock or forend, and a quick-adjust lever clamps everything down in seconds. From there you get a full 360 degrees of pan plus up to 25 degrees of tilt forward and back, both with tension adjustment so you can dial in smooth tracking or lock it solid. An integral bubble level helps you set up square on uneven ground, and it works just as well with a crossbow or shotgun as it does a rifle.
Carbon Fiber Legs Built for the Long Walk
Going with the carbon fiber version drops weight while keeping the legs stiff, which cuts down on flex and keeps your reticle steady. The three-position leg angle lock (roughly 20, 45, and 85 degrees) lets you shoot standing, kneeling, sitting, or prone, and the height adjusts anywhere from 7 to 59 inches. Rubber feet handle hard surfaces, and retractable steel spikes twist out to bite into dirt, gravel, or a blind floor when you need extra grip.
Where the DeathGrip Tripod Shines
This is a hunter's tool first. It's a favorite for spot-and-stalk setups, box blinds and pop-ups, and hog or varmint work with night vision and thermal where you need to swing onto a moving target quietly and quickly. At around 7.5 pounds it's on the sturdier side, so it packs better on shorter treks than an all-day mountain grind, but that weight is part of what soaks up recoil and keeps things planted. It folds down to about 31 inches for strapping to a pack.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the DeathGrip clamp actually hold a rifle?
The head clamps directly onto the firearm's forend using non-marring rubber jaw inserts that grip without scuffing the stock. A quick-adjust lever tightens it down in seconds and locks the gun completely hands-free. This lets you step away to glass or call while the rifle stays exactly where you left it.
Will the BOG DeathGrip carbon fiber tripod work with a crossbow or shotgun?
Yes. The clamping head is designed to secure just about any long gun, including shotguns and crossbows, not only rifles. Many hunters use it for youth setups and thermal or night vision hog and varmint work where a steady, hands-free rest matters.
What's the difference between the carbon fiber and aluminum DeathGrip?
Both share the same clamping head and adjustment features, so performance in the field is very similar. The carbon fiber version is lighter and stiffer, which trims pack weight and helps reduce flex. If you're covering more ground on foot, the carbon model is the one worth the upgrade.
Is the DeathGrip tripod good for standing shots or just prone?
It handles both. The three-position leg angle lock plus the 7 to 59 inch height range lets you shoot standing, kneeling, sitting, or prone. That flexibility is a big reason it's popular for blinds, spot-and-stalk hunts, and open-field shooting alike.
