Question 1

What material is the clamp made out of?

Accepted Answer

The clamp is made out of magnesium, read the description for confirmation of this. I have the Carbon Fiber version and absolutely love how strong and solid it is. I also bought an extra ultralite clamp for another tripod to put my spotting scope and rangefinder in. It makes your rangefinder so much more precise. I own a Primos trigger stick tripod and find it near impossible to hold on target at even 100 yds. I shot prairie dogs out to 547 yds with my deathgrip. Proof is in the performance. Bought two more of the Carbon ones for two of my hunting buddies and they sent me a text thanking me for talking them into the purchase because they love theirs too! The bad reviews must not be doing it right. My buddy said he didn't even take his rifle out of the clamp when moving shooting locations, while shooting prairie dogs, and it never moved. Clampdown legs feel like they are very well built. I feel there isn't a cheap component in the construction and super simple and fast to set up. Yes it weighs over 7 lbs, but that's what makes it a solid platform for accuracy.

Question 2

Is the carbon fiber version worth the extra $100?

Accepted Answer

I do not own either yet, but I ask the same question and realized the $100 saves you only 1lbs weight wise. Aluminum is 8.5lbs and C-fiber is 7.5lbs. As far as materials go it maybe worth it as far as rigidity/flex.

Question 3

Does it come with the rifle clamp

Accepted Answer

Yes, it ONLY comes with a clamping system.  The clamping system is non detachable so you cannot replace it with an Arca Swiss ball head or something similar.  The clamp is all you get.

Question 4

Overall height

Accepted Answer

Just, had time to put a tape on it. It's 30 inches from the top of the clamp to the little rubber leg peace on the bottom and 6 1/2 wide at the clamp head wich is the widest point
