Leapers, the makers of low-price shooting hunting accessories is offering this new bipod. I am going to go ahead and call it a poor man's Atlas. Simply because they basically took Kasey's design and made it their own.
It features a rail mounted ball joint based mechanism with independent legs capable of being set in 5 different angles.
MSRP is around 60$ USD
Feature outline:
For the price range I thought it was pretty decent. The Legs are moved with a button latch and have some movement while in their position but they seem sturdy enough. I did not get to see it actually attached to a firearm though.
The legs adjust with a button latch but can be tightened down like a harris bipod with a knob tensioner.
The panning capability is pretty impressive, you can turn it right around with no resistance. Since it uses a ball joint, much like the Atlas, you can tilt it side to side about 10-20 degrees or so
You can see the rubber piece that goes around the ball joint. it serves two purposes: to reduce the amount of crap getting into the joint and also to make the tilt and pan a little softer.
