death grip tripod on an FX Impact

Hi I got PREDATOR TACTICS Deadeye which is similar , NOw I broke where the tube connects to the head , the threads on alum tube like powdered so I sent back tube and head , they either cut it down and rethreaded it or put a new tube on my head , and this lasted 1 month and it loostened up ,so I got a solid 2 inch alum bar and put it inside the hollow tube and I mounted it to head with threw bolts , like an adapter , then I jb welded it all it is now perfect , I would of rather saw a better aluminum tube or thicker , I use mine alot and I mount some 12 pound guns on it with scopes , I would say this is the weak link , as for the tripod it self and the head it is fine , hope this helps LOU

I cut a section of pool noodle about 3" in length. Cut 1/4" lengthwise off the top to make it a flat resting place. Then cut a 45* angle cut for bottle clearance. Put pool noodle in DG not too tight, rest Impact on PN and shoot. 

I already had a tripod, so I ordered a ball head with picatinny clamp from an outfit in Utah that manufactures the ball head. Also ordered an extended picatinny and this is what I use now. Hands free. Love it. Death Grip is good, but I did not want to squeeze the bottle.

I own a BOG DeathGrip Tripod that I currently use with my Air Arms s510 Ultimate Sporter. I have an FX Impact MKII on order right now and I'd also like to know if this tripod will work properly with the FX Impact. Is there a place for BOG DeathGrip clamp to securely grab the FX Impact without interfering with the safety switch, cocking level or any of the other moving parts of the Impact? Thanks!

wonder how much of a pain it is to lug this thing around, been looking into one myself

I got the Caldwell precision turret and it does not work well with the impact at all . The only place to try to get it in the clamp is on the bottle and I don't think I want to put all that stress on my bottle . It works great on anything that has a fore grip or a wooden stock all the way up . I ended up making my own but it's a little big and heavy I wouldn't want to carry it around much I just use it when I'm shooting at home or at the range under the canopy . You can see how it dwarfs the Caldwell tripod for my chronograph.this beast was made to hold up a 27 pound camera and the fluid head in it is nice but it's definitely big . I found the tripod used on Craigslist or Facebook for 40.00 and the adapter to mount it to the tripod came from eBay for 12.99 so I made this for under 60.00
