Hey guys, an update here on the Elevate 2.0 bipod.
We've completed revisions and testing. Going in to production shortly and expect to begin shipping new bipods in March. We'll be prioritizing sending out replacements to all the guys who bought gen 1 bipods.
Feedback and testing on the 2.0 bipod has been excellent. Ultimately, the Elevate 2.0 looks and functions almost the same as the original as far as spec and capability. Our focus has primarily been on refining small features and improving longevity/durability and the issues encountered on the original version.
NeoLok & Picatinny Mount
We completely re-engineered the NeoLok mechanism to where it locks up MUCH more solidly, wears better and adjusts more reliably. It looks much the same on the outside, but the internals are completely re-engineered and lightyears better.
Leg Locks
We redesigned the leg locks on the quick deploy legs. Square cutouts and a square key make this about 3 times stronger. They won't collapse like earlier versions.
Splay Detents
We moved from 4 to 3 splay positions on the 2.0, but this allowed us to redesign and beef up the splay detents. These are MUCH stronger and showing far better wear over time and abuse.
Cant Tension
This one wasn't really a complaint, but we knew it could be better. Finer thread on the cant tension along with high tech carbon friction elements and a slightly longer ratcheting lever make give it a much better feel with tightening and adjusting cant.
Weight stays essentially the same at 12 oz.
These are a few of the primary updates. Overall, nearly every part on the bipod got a few rounds of revisions and refinements. Functionally, it's much the same as the original (We feel like we knocked it out of the park there), the focus has primarily been on refining some of those functions and improving feature designs for durability and longevity.
We're so backordered at this point, unfortunately new orders placed today will likely be looking at a June delivery timeframe as we prioritize filling backorders and replacing old units. But we're working hard to catch up and get our customers taken care of! We're working on maxing out production. There should be a steady supply by summer, but it's not a bad idea to put a deposit on one now to hold a place in line:
