Not new but new to me....Anvil30.
RRS sure makes some nice kit.

Coolest piece of kit lately?

That looks awesome! Have you ever used a Gransfors Bruks or Wetterlings? If so how do they compare?karesuando axe
Gun stuff? The CDA kit and Greygun Disconnector for HK P2000.
Non-gun stuff? ‘20 Rav4 hybrid. Transferred a couple hundred bucks a month from gas cost to ammo budget and I can actually fit my armory and significant other in the car when I go to the range!

I’ve used the Granafors Bruks. The Karesuando is a bit finer at the edge so it does cutting more easily. The ergos are super similar to my hands. The Bruks feels more robust if that makes sense.
Did you get one yet? I was using a standard Arca plate that came with a cheap tripod and it twisted like crazy. It drove me nuts. The RRS plate doesn't twist and uses a hex head screw so you can get it pretty tight. I used it last weekend and it was a improvement.
I'm traveling this week, but remembered I already have an anti-twist plate somewhere in my camera bag so thought I'd see if that works first.

New toy added. Rear monopod - probably not for everyone but I love this thing.
Attached a rear rail temporarily using super stick double sided velcro and cable ties and it works so good I probably won't bother to drill and tap the lower rail of the buttstock. FrankenGun seems pretty much done now.
VooDoo
These things are too cool. I have to do a lot of pistol shooting lately and this thing does the trick. You can get it for double stack 9mm mags or 5.56 AR mags.
Little Crow Brass Trimmer and Magula mag loader are my latest, greatest discoveries.
Second vote for the Little Crow Gun Works trimmer. Sweet.
Been really liking these Eagle Vision adjustable scope rings for my 22LR CRPS rig. The scope on that rifle has no zero stop, so I adjusted the rings so 50 yards is half a turn off the bottom... Now it's like having a zero stop, plus I get the full elevation range of the scope.

For me the coolest piece of kit is a recoil sensor for my LabRadar. No more issues with a suppressor or a busy range.
Is that cord you used to keep the cover in place rated for a certain temp.?
great, I ended up with 4. I also scored the metal mag release which made a huge difference. I’ve put 200 rounds so far through two of them and they have run flawlessly.
Yes^^^ The Piet recoil trigger is slick!
But my RRS tripod w/Anvil Ballhead is my best, coolest and most used piece of kit that I have.
The reactor fusion module looks interesting, real time barrel temp, cant, recoil, weather meter enviromentals, etc etc.. technology is catching up.
I thought you just watched Back to the Future so had to look this up, that is kind of cool
If anyone needs a small stripped bolt removal set I picked this up on Amazon.
I just purchased a used Unity Tactical Glock 19 upper and it came with the ACRO optic plate installed on it. Well, when I went to remove it I noticed the hex head was completely stripped out. This is probably why I got it relatively cheap, lol. Anyway, I tried heating it up and then using a slightly larger hex bit on a driver and tapped it into place to try and remove it with no luck. I then turned to Amazon to look for solutions.
I found this cool little kit and it worked like a champ. It was cheap, $24and am glad to add it to the tool box in case I come across a similar situation. Just thought I’d pass it on in case anyone else comes across an issue like this.

Not exactly new, but a great piece of kit for the money.
Older b&l spotting Scopes from the 50's and 60's. The price for quality of image is a bargain as long as you can get a clean scope.

That rear bag is worth more than a new rifle these days...
Took the newly purchased (thank you MK Machining) LabRadar out today for some LD work and after figuring out the sensitivity it was money for every single shot (with suppressor) and I didn’t have to worry about gear hangin’ off my suppressor and fiddling between rifles etc. I loved my Magnetospeed but I think I found a new love! Not only was it easier when switching rifles it also displayed everything I need on the same screen: Hi, Lo, Avg, ES, SD and the app was awesome (when it worked, lots of bugs). I wish there was a way to start a new series from the app that was about the only drawback. If you’re on the fence between Magnetospeed and LabRadar, based on my first time out I’d have to give two thumbs up to LabRadar!
IIRC: From the app, just disarm, then select the "+" up in the right top corner. That will create a new series from the app.
I thought there had to be a way, not sure why I didn’t see that as it was staring me in the face, just tried it and it worked like a charm ?. Thanks Marine, that will save some time next time I’m out!
Probably not what anyone else had in mind, but I've been drilling a lot lately with my tactical shotgun and I have to say...I love the 56 round bandolier you wear across your body. Wear two and you can Bandito it old school.
This is my coolest new toy, TriggerCam. Through the scope video, not in the way so I can use it at matches, when hunting and when I'm instructing.
That's pretty slick. I had the SkopedVision device but it was way too convoluted to setup and get centered properly. Does this work with any scope or only certain scopes, looks like it has adapters for different eyepieces? Please share more about your experience and how quick it is to get setup and how good the image is.
I wish Labradar would update their app. If you shoot 15 different groups in load development you have to write down which group is which or they all start to blend together. On the other hand, if Labradar had a user input field you could insert the load details into the spreadsheets while setting up the string.
not that its a good piece of kit but it could have been . I would have been happy if it only worked the side shot camera thing I have 2 videos from it of my eye but none so far out the correct end of the scope . It hooks up nice and easy but the unit need something first I thought It was too much sunlight bleeding in bewteen the camera and the looking hole , but its not that at all I have to physically pull the phone away to get a sight down the rifle scope as soon as I let go the picture is lost another learning situation I guess i did get to see the caldwell camera which for the person it belonged to it worked nicely mine cost me 199 something his was maybe 349 and It works nice .
this thing If yours works your lucky mine no amount of foam will keep it focused down range for me maybe something got messed up in shipping I don't know already written two emails to them and nothing have I heard back yet .

I sent them an email, here's their response:
XXX,
Yes we are currently in the middle of updating our app, we are in the process of adding features such as data exportation, adding range notes/renaming series(within the app), making the Bluetooth connectivity more stable. We are hoping to have the changes completed in Summer 2020. Please keep up to date to see when the new changes will take effect. You can sign up for our newsletter at www.mylabradar.com to be notified when the update comes available.

Setup is simple. Slide on the appropriate collar, then the camera, level the camera, snug down one screw, focus and go to town. It works with most scopes. Ocular bell size is not unlimited. The image is really good. It can record locally on microSD or stream to your phone.
Only new to me, but the Elite iron bipod. They just got it right. I am super picky and can find flaws in everything, but man that bipod just nailed everything for shooting in the field ( great on the bench as well )
So does the collar go over the ocular bell/eyepiece? Sorry for all the questions, but their video didn't show much and little information can be found elsewhere. Does the camera take stills or only video?
^^^ That's hilarious, apparently I'm an angry photographer 
Funny thing is I shot professional weddings and portraits for over 15 years, I must have scared them into smiling

Yep. Collars fit over the ocular bell, the camera goes over the collar. The collar adapts the camera to the scope physically and prevents scratching of the scope. If you record directly to the SD in the camera, then no stills. If you stream to your phone then you can snap stills too.
