Description
The DeathGrip UltraLite is Bog's stripped-down, weight-conscious answer to their popular rifle-clamping tripod head. It takes the same dual-jaw clamp that made the original DeathGrip a hunting-blind favorite and trims the fat, using a magnesium body that keeps the whole thing under a pound. That matters when you're the one hauling it up a ridge on a spot-and-stalk hunt where every ounce in the pack adds up by the end of the day.
The clamping action is where this head earns its name. A patent-pending dual jaw closure grabs the fore-end of your gun and locks it in place, letting you go completely hands-free to glass a field or wait out a tree line without babysitting the rifle. The jaws are lined with non-marring rubber inserts, so your stock finish stays put. It's a great fit for sporter rifles, quad-rail AR platforms, and crossbows, which makes it a versatile pick whether you're in a box blind or set up on the edge of a bean field.
Mounting the DeathGrip UltraLite to Your Setup
This version ships with an Arca-Swiss adapter, so it drops right onto any Arca-Swiss tripod head with no extra parts to chase down. Pull that adapter off with the included hex key and you'll expose standard 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threaded holes, which lets you bolt it to your own tripod plate, thread it onto a center post, or run it on a Switcheroo-compatible pod. That flexibility means you're not locked into one brand of legs.
Real-World Use with the UltraLite Head
Hunters who run this head lean on it for steadying shots that would be shaky offhand, and it's a common recommendation for younger or newer shooters building confidence at the range or in the stand. Clamp the gun down snug, use the tilt to fine-tune your aim point, and you've got a stable platform for that one good shot. It pairs well with the Great Divide head if you want to add pan-and-tilt movement on top of the clamp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the DeathGrip UltraLite come with a tripod?
No, this is the head only and the tripod is not included. It's designed to mount onto tripods you already own using the included Arca-Swiss adapter, or by removing that adapter to reach the 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threads. That flexibility lets you pair it with a set of legs that fits your budget and your load-carrying needs.
What guns will fit in the DeathGrip UltraLite jaws?
The dual-jaw clamp is built to grip sporter rifles, quad-rail AR platforms, and crossbows. The jaws close down on the fore-end and hold parallel-sided stocks best, so it works with most standard hunting rifles and modern sporting rifles. The non-marring rubber inserts protect your stock finish while keeping a firm hold.
How is the UltraLite different from the standard DeathGrip head?
The UltraLite uses a magnesium body to drop the weight down under a pound, making it a better choice for backcountry and spot-and-stalk hunts where pack weight counts. It keeps the same hands-free dual-jaw clamping design that made the original popular. If you're setting up a stationary blind or bench, the heavier standard version is fine, but for mobile hunting the UltraLite is the one to carry.
Can I mount it to a photography tripod instead of a Bog pod?
Yes, that's one of the strengths of this head. Pull the Arca-Swiss adapter with the included hex key and you get standard 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threads that thread onto most camera and video tripods or center posts. Just make sure your tripod is stout enough to handle the weight of your loaded rifle for a steady shot.
