Description
The Grip Pod GPS-V2 solves a problem every AR builder runs into eventually: you want the control of a vertical foregrip and the stability of a bipod, but bolting on both eats up rail space fast. This unit does both jobs in one piece. It rides as a chunky, hand-filling vertical grip until you need support, then a push of the button sends a pair of spring-loaded, steel-reinforced polymer legs snapping out the bottom for a stable shooting platform. When you're done, you fold them back up into the body and keep moving. No clipping bipods on and off, no fumbling in the prone.
What Sets the V2 Apart
This is Grip Pod's enhanced line, and the updates are the kind you feel in your hand. The V2 gets a reworked ergonomic grip with a slimmer contour, so it takes up less real estate and points more naturally, plus improved texturing that holds up when your hands are wet or sweaty. The legs are polymer over a steel core, giving you the strength to lean into it without the weight penalty of a traditional metal bipod. The original Grip Pod System is the automatic forward-grip bipod that earned adoption across the U.S. military and law enforcement, so the pedigree here is real.
Deployment and Fit
The button sits up near the top front of the grip, right under your support-hand index finger, and it takes a deliberate press so it won't pop open when you brush against gear or brush. The legs spring out with real authority and lock into a wide stance, with enough height to clear a standard 30-round magazine from the ground when you're prone. It mounts to any MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail with a steel cross-bolt and an easy-grip thumbscrew, so you can install or pull it without tools.
Keeping It Running
Like any spring-driven mechanism, it appreciates a little care. Users who have run these hard in dusty conditions recommend periodic disassembly and a wipe-down so the legs deploy fully every time. Do that, and it'll keep snapping open shot after shot.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Grip Pod GPS-V2 switch from a foregrip to a bipod?
Press the knurled button near the top front of the grip with your support-hand index finger and the spring-loaded legs snap out the bottom into a wide, stable stance. The button takes a deliberate press, so it won't deploy from an accidental bump against gear or brush. To stow the legs, you push them back up into the grip body until they lock in place.
Will the GPS-V2 fit my AR-15's handguard?
It mounts to any standard MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail using a steel cross-bolt and an easy-grip thumbscrew, so no tools are needed to install or remove it. Keep in mind the unit is longer than a standard vertical grip since it houses the bipod legs inside, so on shorter or mid-length handguards you'll want to check that you have the rail space you need.
Are the bipod legs strong enough for real use?
The V2 uses polymer over a steel core, which is where the strength comes from without the added weight of an all-metal bipod. The Grip Pod System is the automatic forward-grip bipod adopted by the U.S. military and numerous agencies, so it's built to take hard use. The legs deploy with real force and lock into a wide stance that resists sinking when you're shooting prone.
Does the GPS-V2 need any maintenance?
Because it's a spring-driven mechanism, it benefits from occasional cleaning, especially if you run it in dusty or dirty conditions. A periodic disassembly and wipe-down keeps grit out of the leg channels so they deploy fully every time. Treated with basic care, it stays reliable over the long haul.
