A friend of mine bought a Death Grip tripod and was wondering if he can modify it to accept an arca swiss plate type of mount to save weight. Has anyone out there done this or is it possible?

I personally run the Night Stalker tripod with the arca plate but not sure about the Bog Pod/Death Grip.

I don't know this guy, I just saw the post a while back.

I've seen a similar post on snipers hide. Probably the same guy.

Hmmmm, ok thx guys. I'll try to make sense of it. I appreciate the help.

I took the saddle off and installed a leveling head that accepts the ARCA rail.

I have two of these units hitting the Post Office this evening. Looks like an easy upgrade.

I like the BOG(s) but it is herky-jerky. Especially while following a moving target. Hoping this smooths it out.

Updating on the Snipershide/Longrangehunting ball head upgrade.

Super easy install and a great improvement to the BOG. Disassembly is as easy as taking the bottom bolt out and giving the upper portion a light tap with a rubber mallet. Separates easily and the install is even more straight forward.

I like it. Installed last night and smoothly took a running possum last night...and a crow off the possum this morning. It's a good unit.

Thanks for the update. Maybe I'll do that by fall.
