Really smart bipod for the pricetag - Comes all with a lovely, decent quality velvet string bag that you can always use for something else - has a lovely plush feel to it. The bipod comes prepacked inside of it, w/ the spike feet accessory in its own separate little resealable bag, all of which comes in a plain cardbox.
The legs are genuine carbon fibre, which is both strong and lightweight. Both leg sets ofcourse, are carbon fibre, with the lower set being spring-loaded and retains in its position of retraction by being forced so, whilst the rubber-overlaid lock screw secures it in position. To release the legs, simply twist said lock screws and the legs will extend out to their extremity. You can of course, control this by releasing the legs out to a certain length, then just tighten down the lock screw again. Alternatively, with the bipod mounted to the rifle, you can weigh the rifle down on the disengaged legs, until the weight is what you are looking at, then tighten the lock screws on it down. It is of course, stepless and non-symmetric adjustment.
The mounting interface is a female Picatinny clamp w/ QD lever to fit a Picatinny rail interface. The one side of the mounting clamp has a thumb screw to loosely fit the bipod onto the rifle. From there, the tension set should allow you to flip the lever on the other side to fix the clamp onto the Picatinny.
Another feature to this bipod, is that you can shift the legs independently of one another and set them in five different positions, in five increments of 45° - the rearward and forward straight, the two angled positions, then the perpendicular. The legs are adjusted pushing the retainer button in, which itself is spring-loaded, allowing you to easily shift the position of the legs from position to position unlock and lock them into the mentioned angles / positions.
Also - the bipod has a 15° tilting capability, allowing you to level the rifle even when shooting off of a slightly uneven surface - the lever at the rear of the bipod locks and unlocks the tilt function of the bipod.
..
Overall, our opinion of the bipod is really good - the weight on it is really low, making it featherweight, meaning that, the bipod won't add too much weight to the rifle it will be mounted to, thanks to the carbon fibre composition of the legs. The legs have little play to them, the locknuts work easy enough and the flip lever to toggle the tilt on the bipod, works with minimal effort. Of all the Chinese carbon fibre bipods we've seen, this one is the least gimmicky and the best quality. Everything on it works with ease.
As initially mentioned, two sets of bipod feet come included.. The rubber cups (comes installed onto the bipod out of the box. Then the spikes, which is more purpose-suited for shooting prone off of earth.
Netto Weight: 312 grams
Height clearance: 180mm ~ 250mm
Material composition: Mostly alumium & carbon fibre
Ease of use: 8/10
Functionality: 7/10 -- Would have been nice if it could rotate full circle as well, w/ a gimbal.
Quality: 6/10 -- Above average quality and for a Chinese product, for this price point, you are getting quite a bit. But not so much for the longer end durability - For something really heavy duty, you should opt for a branded bipod, such as UTG.
