You need to detach one of the rubber straps on one side of the brace and leg to fold the tripod up. This product is designed for shooting situations where you can be more stationary.
I don't think they have any plans to put those on sale. However, being a small company, it never hurts to send an email and ask if they have any old sets laying around. there are always updating and introducing new tripods, so if they phase out an older model like you have, they might be willing...
I work for Spartan Precision Equipment, and wanted to tell you about a new accessory for tripods. It's called the CP Brace.
This attaches onto our Hercules tripod with some rubber clamps, and it allows you to shoot from the tripod, but with a much lower center of gravity. Think of it as hanging...

Hi Roksliders,
Our boss Rob Gearing has been at it again inventing, and there is a new bipod called the Vidarr. It does two things different from our usual offerings. First, we've got a unique attachment system called Disk-Lock that takes out any tiny bit of wobble in the connection that some...
Thanks for giving it a shot Justin. Rob is always trying to create tools to accomplish specific tasks. If it turns out to be too niched, we chalk it up as a learning experience and pull it. We're trying!
You're right, this is for specialized situations. We wouldn't try to sell this as a product for everyone. Just trying to give those looking for something super compact for their final stalk, a particularly rough climb, or a hunt where you expect to be glassing just a little.
It will be more...
That's a sweet tripod too. Couple small differences. With the Spartan MagnaSwitch attachment system, you can shoot or glass off it. You would only need an adapter for your rifle (which will add under an ounce), or a HD Optics Adapter for your glass (which adds 2.4 oz). When you start adding...
You are onto it with the first part, being a bipod with an extra leg. Think of it as mainly an really stable shooting platform, that you can also glass from in a pinch. We have many full sizes tripods for the hunter who plans to spend hours glassing. This is intentionally for the farthest end of...
Fair point. Before I got a chance to use it, I took a minute to wrap my head around it too. It was helpful to separate what it is versus what it's not intended to be.
We've got lots of tripods that are bigger for dedicated glassing sessions, and this is decidedly not the intention of this one...
Hey Roksliders,
We just released a brand new mini tripod called the Hoplite that might be interesting if your a lover of ultralight gear. When you are going to the furthest extent to shave weight and bulk from your hunting kit, this is the perfect tool for the job. The relatively short legs...
You're on the money about serving them something that's prepared right. So many of our opinions are formed by one negative experience, usually with an inexperienced cook.
Yes, that sums it up well. I think it would be handy where there is brush you need to shoot over. It's got the height if you need to do a kneeling or sitting shot, but can also splay way out to give you the option of shooting prone. Here is a video of a shooter using it to change positions fast...
Good question, and one I asked the designers too. To gain something (speed of position adjustment), you've got to give something. I can't stress enough that this is designed for medium ranges (200-400 yds), where they found that it was real stable through the shot sequence, and what happened...
Howdy Roksliders! I'm an Oregon based rep for Spartan Precision Equipment, and we just launched something totally different. The Springbok Bipod mounts magnetically to your same Spartan adapter and uses our same carbon Pro Legs, but what makes this one different is it uses a flexible silicone...
