Got my kit today, installation took about 1 minute (should’ve spent 30 more seconds*). One more happy customer!

*panning would not lock, the eye-bolt would simply turn even though the ball’s pan-lock was functioning. It was due to a loose nut (me) performing the installation. I didn’t snug the jam nut. Duh! Very pleased.

Awesome upgrade and super easy to install. In less than five minutes I switched from the original death grip to rrs leveling base. The tripod lost a very noticeable amount of weight and is way more versatile now. Thanks @STI_1911_Guy for making an awesome upgrade and making the whole process super simple!

Im interested in purchasing a full kit. How well does it handle heavier recoiling calibers? 338 win mag (8.5 lb rifle) is one of the calibers I plan to use this with. Thanks

I use it personally with a 300 win mag and I know some 338 Lapua users and there have been zero issues. We can go with the next size up ball head. I will send you a PM and we can discuss.

****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.

Just realized I want to easily swap between the dg clamp and my spotting scope on the tripod. So I think I should get another mounting plate. If true, let me know the cost and please include another plate kit in my shipment. Thanks

I do have extra plates, if your spotting scope has a threaded hole for mounting then it will work great. I don't charge for these plates I just toss them in for free if people request them. In the future it helps to send these questions in the Private messages we have going just so I have the info in our message with the order info, It makes it easier for me to NOT make a mistake as I double check messages before the order is shipped. Thank you I appreciate it.

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!!!
