BOG Death Grip Sherpa Carbon Fibre Clamping Tripod Shooting Stick

The Sherpa is equipped with BOG's DeathGrip UltraLite clamping head, providing secure firearm retention while reducing unnecessary weight at the top of the tripod.

The clamp securely grips the firearm's forend and uses non-marring inserts at the contact points. Once correctly secured, the firearm can remain supported hands-free rather than needing to be continuously balanced in a conventional shooting rest.

Carbon-fibre tripod legs provide an excellent combination of rigidity, durability and reduced carrying weight.

This makes the DeathGrip Sherpa particularly attractive for shooters who need a substantial, stable shooting platform but expect to carry their tripod over longer distances in the field.

The Sherpa's low-profile ball head provides smooth 360° horizontal pan together with up to 180° of tilt adjustment.

This extensive movement allows the firearm to be repositioned and aimed while the tripod legs remain planted, providing greater freedom when tracking or changing shooting direction.

Twist-lock telescopic legs allow the height of the Sherpa to be adjusted quickly, while three-position leg-angle settings provide additional control over the tripod's stance.

The combination allows the tripod to be adapted for different shooting positions and helps establish a stable platform when working across uneven or sloping ground.

The DeathGrip Sherpa includes several features specifically useful in the field, including an integrated bubble level to assist with setup and a gear hook which can also be used to add weight to the tripod for additional stability.

Rubber feet provide grip on firm surfaces, while steel spikes can be used where greater purchase is required on softer terrain. A padded carrying case is also included for storage and transport.

The standard BOG DeathGrip provides the core clamping concept at a considerably lower price, making it an excellent general-purpose shooting tripod.

The DeathGrip Sherpa moves further towards a premium field tripod, combining carbon-fibre legs with the DeathGrip UltraLite head, a low-profile ball head, extensive pan and tilt adjustment and additional field-oriented features.

For shooters who mainly want secure clamping support, the standard DeathGrip remains the more economical option. The Sherpa is better suited to those who want a more advanced carbon-fibre platform with greater positional adjustment and portability.

The key difference is the firearm mounting system. The DeathGrip Sherpa uses BOG's UltraLite clamping head, allowing it to secure a conventional firearm forend without requiring an Arca rail.

The Arca Infinite instead uses an Arca-Swiss compatible mounting system for equipment fitted with a compatible interface. The Sherpa is therefore the more natural choice if you specifically want BOG's hands-free clamping system.
