Hatch 2nd generation bipod

Has anyone got to play around with the hatch second gen bipods yet? $589 for the 36” arca clamp head. They look nice!

I just got the 2nd Gen. Had a first gen 27" and really liked it but there were a couple small things I didn't like, which they fixed with the latest Gen. So far, love it. Haven't gotten out in the field with it though. I opted for the 27" over the 36" because it seems to be a little stiffer and it's tall enough I can go tripod rear while not having a huge footprint for prone, shooting off props, etc.

Big fixes for me were:

1. A third option between lowest and highest leg splay options. Medium height.
2. Cant is much smoother and better lock. Also allows for more degrees of tilt.
3. The button to deploy legs is a huge plus over pulling them out and deploying
4. The lever instead of a cord to splay legs is WAY better

Overall, very impressed. Big improvements over previous version that make it useable with one hand from behind the rifle. Really looking forward to using it in some NRL matches. Weight is with a Area 419 ARCA Clamp.

Don't get me wrong, it won't replace a triple pull but its a great option at half the price. We like to call it the Poor-Pod or Poverty-Pull... Lol
