Anybody seen/used these ? I figured for $7 I'd give one a try so already ordered. Seemed like a neat little practical item.

I have one on my brother's AR. Nice for range sessions when you want a bipod and the option to comfortably shoot off hand.

A buddy of mine loves his. I've never used one, but also curious. Let us know what you think!

I have the Fab Defense version and love it.

$134.50 ? WOW

Not what I paid. I think it was $59.99 a few years ago and probably was the 1st Gen (but don't notice any difference off hand).

I've seen those before. I love them but the price tag hurts too much.

they work fine.

Just received today. Haven't shot with it yet but like it. Legs pop out affirmatively and slide back in with no real effort. Also very easy to put on as it opens wide, unlike some others I've tried that are a pia. Only thing that would make it better would be if it was foldable since it's longer than a normal grip.

The downside ?
bipod foregrip + scope + golf ball launcher = jussssst squeezing into my soft case

they work fine.

Suomi?

Both my buddy and I bought these cheapo knockoffs. I put mine on my tacticool 10/22 and he put his on his AR.

Honestly, they are dog ugly and feel like they could blow apart each time you deploy it but both of ours have held up without issue for like 2 or 3 years now.

Granted, they don't get a ton of use but still surprisingly durable. Not sure I'd take it to war but it should be fine for plinking.

I'm interested to hear how it holds up at the range, Alan. I think you made a good point, Zero. Might not be a great tool for war, but good enough for multi-postion target practice.

Since I won't be going to war any time soon I think it'll be okay. Not taking my golf ball launcher into battle either

I have a Grip pod or two around here that I will sell in anyone's interested. PM for info. These were military issue.

Am I the only one who really doesn't like GripPods? They're heavy, they're not very good bipods, and they make it much harder to fire from a rest or supported position. I guess it's possible I'd like the FAB Defense T-Pod variant better, but as noted... pricey.

Suomi?

yep

I have the B&T version for my MR762 SBR but it's a bit bulky for my taste so I just use a Magpul VFG.

Nope, you're not the only one...I tried one out since I was at a gun show with $10 burning a hole in my pocket and figured why not?

They are bulkier than a normal vertical grip, and the bipod doesn't provide a stable enough platform in my opinion to make it functional as a bipod. Feet aren't wide enough, too much play in it, and anything other than a level bench doesn't work.

Anyone that wants mine is welcome to it.

Optics Planet ... nuff said.

That is closer to the actual SRP. I have NEVER seen anything close to SRP from Optics Planet ... they invent their own SRP and discount down from there.

Everything I ever from read from soldiers that were deployed with them was negative. They didn't seem to care for them one bit.
