Accessories Bog Deathgrip Tripod Ball Head Kit

Holy cow, what an upgrade! Legitimately a 1000% increase in stability, and sheds some significant weight. Standard aluminum deathgrip with the new ball head and eye ring is 6lb 7oz. If you have the carbon fiber one, that would drop another lb.

****UPDATE***

****I have been working on a printed bushing to replace the aluminum one for a few reasons. Main one being availability, I can print these like any of my other items so sourcing is not an issue. I can also pass the cost savings on to you guys and a little more weight reduction. I will be working on a printed adapter plate in the future also. I wanted to make sure the integrity and strength were both still very sound so I adjusted materials and design until I got it right. ***** There will be nothing new to installation, a dab of Loctite is still highly recommended on the ball head bolt. Just snug it up good, no need to over tighten. There are some variances in the BOG castings so you may hear a slight pop as the lip in the bushing pops over the casting but its fine and expected on some as I keep the fit fairly snug on the bushing.

I have also added an eyebolt addition you can use to hang equipment from. When you purchase it just let me know if you want the eye bolt or regular bolt.

For installation of the eyebolt you will install the bushing then slide the eye bolt up through and tighten fully into the ball head until it bottoms out. Then loosen the eye bolt 1 full turn and lock the nut down while holding the eye bolt from turning if necessary.



I have made up a few ball head conversion kits for the Bog Deathgrip Tripod. I tried to keep the price down as low as possible while maintaining good quality equivalent to the Bog Tripod.

- Prices shipped TYD.
- *** Continually making them as requested. I will inform you of any excessive backlog.
- There are 5 options.

The ball head is rated at 33 lbs and has 360 degree rotation (lockable) base in addition to the ball head and the ball head is lockable and adjustable for tension. This will accept arca-swiss style devices including the numerous picatinny to arca and such items on the market.

To install you would have to remove the one bolt holding the deathgrip to the tripod. Once you do this the bearings and bushings (you will not need these any longer) will come out. You will end up with a hollow casting as seen in the images. Once you have this you can insert the aluminum bushing from the bottom, then insert the new bolt through the bushing and install the ball head onto it. I recommend a dab of Loctite on the bolt before installation.

If you want to use the deathgrip that you just removed you need the kit with the adapter plate. This plate with the 4 supplied screws will attach to the deathgrip head and can then be locked into the arca-swiss ball head.

This entire assembly weighs ~15oz, you will be removing ~8oz to install. So in total you will add about 8 oz to your setup, plus any additional items you decide to add.

Bog Deathgrip Tripod Ball head kit and adapter plate (full kit) $110: This will come with the ball head, bushing and 3/8-16 bolt to attach the ball head. In addition this will come with the adapter plate to attach to the deathgrip that can then be placed into the arca-swiss ball head.
Bog Deathgrip Tripod Ball head kit only $95: This will come with the ball head, bushing and 3/8-16 bolt to attach the ball head.
Bog Deathgrip Bushing, Bolt and Adapter Plate Only $55: This will come with the bushing for the tripod, The 3/8-16 bolt for most ballheads and the adapter plate to attach the deathgrip to Arca-Swiss. This is for if you have your own ballhead but want to be able to attach the deathgrip to it if desired.
Bog Deathgrip Adapter Plate and Screws Only $45: This will come with the adapter plate and 4 screws only.
Bog Deathgrip Bushing and Bolt Only $40: This will com with the bushing and bolt only. This option would be great for someone with their own ballhead and no desire to be able to reattach the deathgrip.


I also have small plates with the standard 1/4-20 screw. If you have any accessories that would benefit from a custom printed fixture that would allow you to attach it to an Arca-Swiss plate, which could then be put on a tripod or something else please send me a PM and we can figure something out.


Items other members have requested
 
I would like a ball head kit. I would like to purchase the ball that goes on top of my carbon fiber deathgrip bog pod, the eye bolt, printed bushing and arca rail clamp. I want to get rid of the death grip piece. I’m new to this but please send me payment info. Thank you!

I’m glad to see these are working out well for everybody!!!!

Keep the feedback coming! Always helps to hear how it’s working so I can make improvements.


I’ve been working really hard to keep the price down , But I’m afraid I will have to raise the price soon. Every damn component has gone up and some very substantially and then usps raises shipping cost by 27% for a bunch of regions. They say it’s a “seasonal” increase but it’s been a long damn season……..

I appreciate everyone that has bought one or even those who just asked me questions about it. I’m glad I am able to offer this for the hide community. If you want to get an order in before a price jump let me know. Thanks!!!
I would like to purchase the Bog Deathgrip Bushing, Bolt and Adapter Plate Only, the one that is $55. Please send me a PM with payment instructions.

I think I want a full kit but have a question. I'm looking to gain some additional height on my Bog, about 2-4 inches, and assume that this will be accomplished with the adapter plate to put the deathgrip back on. Please PM for details on address and payment information. Thanks!

Hello Folks, let me introduce myself. I’m a Vietnam Vet and served time in the Army National Guard. I was an active hunter till three years ago… when I became terribly ill with adult onset MS. I am pretty much bed-bound these days and oh boy its really eating me up. Before many of your age I took long range shots with the ole 30-06 Sabot. Quite a round it was was. I made many a kill with the 257 Roberts. I’m sure alot of you are laughing. It’s just amazing how firearms scopes and ammo has progressed. Im glad to see so many take on this endeavor.
I accidentally ran into this site due to the BOG Deathgrip Tripod, my brother in law purchased me the Camo aluminum. As stated earlier I am bed-bound the majority of the time and am now loosing my upper body strength. As an old time tool designer I scratched out what I thought would allow me a full swing on the tripod. I’ll be darn as i researched further i noticed all of these ball-heads being used. Whew looks like alot of folk have more money than they no what to do with it, lol.
Anyway enough of my rambling i am also making a request that if you can find the time I would be much appreciated if you could put together The complete system as I would use the deathgrip vise the majority of the time. Let me know how to proceed.

thanks for your time
norm
