New tricer bipod

[PantherCity]

I wonder if the ball could have a hole/channel milled and you install a pin with a spring so you could essentially lock it to tilt and then pull the pin for pan?

Either way, I pre-ordered as well as this seems like a fantastic 1 bipod option.

That would be awesome, but I don’t have a mill, I do have a drill press! I don’t see myself using it so I will not go through the effort to make a selectable pan lock out vs just a permanent pan lock out pin.

Guys get this bipod on your rifle and use it before we start talking modifications.... Trust me the panning is not going to be an issue on this fat stem and ball.

Ditto I went ahead and pre ordered as well

I would however be a huge fan of a 3rd leg with the ability to use it as a tripod @Tricer

That would be a game changer IMO... Or a set of trecking poles that could use one of the bipod legs

Could be a complete ignorant wish from ann engineering standpoint, but if I could dream up a perfect bipod… It would basically be what the new tricer is, but be able to go tall enough and able to unscrew from the head and use as trekking poles, as well as a 3rd leg for a tripod.

Does anyone know what the materials are for this? Everything seems great on paper, but at such a low price and light weight - my fear is that durability is the sacrifice.

Why wouldn’t the hatch 3rd leg not work?

I guess in theory it would. I personally wouldn’t like how 1 of the 3 legs would be different operating mechanisms as well as height options…

I think in all of the 3rd leg conversations we are hoping for best case scenario, that eventually Tricer would put out. It would be an easy attachment, goes to the same height as the bipod, and has similar deployment methods. Making the ideal bipod/tripod setup.

IF this doesn’t happen then I think a lot of us will look to figure out our own option on how to make this feasible though it may not be in the most ideal manner. That might mean the hatch leg. It might mean some other jimmy rigged option.

I’m just hoping that Tricer pulls through now that we’ve planted the idea.

In all of this I keep thinking…give them what they want, and they will still want more. Sorry I even started this whole mess. The bipod in and of itself I think is going to be awesome. Keep up the good work @Tricer.

Well this thread got me to place a pre-order. Looking forward to having this thing in hand.

For all the guys that want the third leg why not just run a tripod? I already run a tripod so I'm struggling to see the advantage of this bipod.

For me it would keep me from brining one less thing into the mountains. Most bipods won’t extend nearly to the same height as this one. So you would have to carry a bipod and a tripod. One less thing. Less weight. More versatility. Think I covered my reasons.

I think his confusion is in the redundancy of carrying a tripod and a bipod. The solution people seem to be looking for is something they can use for glassing and shooting...like a tripod.

What's the difference between a bipod with an accessory third leg you can glass off of and a tripod you can shoot off of?

For me at least, it's convenience... I'd rather hike and hunt with the bipod on the rifle... All shooting aside, I just really like a built-in gun "kickstand"... Then when I'm at a glassing place, being able to grab a third leg or a trekking pole, pop off the bipod, and glass would be super convenient.

It's interesting to me for the flexibility to use the bipod up to sitting height, and keep a tripod for standing height as well as bipod front-tripod rear positions in NRL Hunter but could be used hunting too.
