New tricer bipod

Mine is here and I am thrilled with it. For $300 I like it better than my triple pull already (I wish I got 3 of these instead).
I did some quick positional work with it and pushed on it to see how it held up. My way-too-early takeaways before shooting and hunting with it:
-super lightweight even in the long configuration
-intuitive and easy to use. I did not watch the instructional video yet and had it mostly figured out immediately
-the pan lock needs to be really tightened on to keep it steady. I did not notice any perceivable difference from my triple pull
-it held very stable for how light it is
-the turn and lock legs were easy to use and although not as fast as a pull mechanism, I like that they lock as I have had the triple pull come out getting caught in brush
-perfect fit on a spartan flush rail
-I am 6’4” and could sit behind it just fine at full length
-the feet unscrewed easily just messing around in my basement and I switched to the rubber bottoms. I will likely paint pen them in before hunting
-the oil was a bit stiff but it’s cold today where I am. Not sure if it needs use or what but something to keep an eye on
-overall for the price I don’t know how you beat this or get even close to it
-I will be likely selling a triple pull and Spartan soon and getting 2 more of these (pending it shoots well)

The Tricer has landed!!! This thing is sweet. The adjustability is insane. Lock up is solid. Adaptability is unparalleled. Won’t be able to shoot with it until this weekend but I’m beyond happy so far. So glad I didn’t get the gunwerks.

Did you install a pic adapter or are you attached to the swivel? I'd love to see a close up of the swivel adapter if that's the route you went :-)
 
USPS dropped off and now I am not getting any work done!

Weight in shipped format with long legs and pic attachment is about spot on 15.4 oz my cheep food scale. I know I am going to have to install a real arca or pic on my gun in the future just to reduce potential failure of the swivel stud and carbon stock. The swing swivel stud adaptor is a nice inclusion. Has a-little too much slop from what I can tell but that is most likely due to stock shape or I need to crank down on the adaptor and just don’t feel comfortable doing so. Curious on other reviews of the adapter when they come out.

The bipod is stiff as expected but very intuitive and quick to deploy. So many different leg angles! First time using a Tricer product and was worried about the reverse threading of the legs but it’s very easy to use. At full height I can easily sit behind it at 5.10. Prone is rock solid.

Will have to give the ball head a try under recoil but it does lock down tight. Do wish there was a pan lockout but very happy with the purchase and no regrets on not ordering the gun works bipod.

I am eventually putting an ARCA. I think the swivel adapter may work in a pinch but as another slider stated, it is not the most secure mount due to the offset single attachment point. Might be different if cranked down with a crescent wrench and some loctite.

Have you weighed it? If so what's the actual weight?
