I had 2 bog dg's and ran them for a couple years. I thought dealing with arca rails and all that would be a p.i.t.a. They work as advertised. I don't notice any flexing some people say. They are stable(ish). Last spring I bought the Alpha from Travis at Santa Claus Optics. A quality carbon tripod is lighter, quieter, more stable, easier to adjust, and did I mention quieter? The weight and sound were the biggest differences. A good ball head is a must.
I was shooting to see sound differences in my cans 1 afternoon. I put my night gun on my sco tripod and wife's night gun in her bog. Rifles are very similar. Stability difference wasn't even close with the arca/ball far exceeding the deathgrip. They work, no doubt about it. But for not much more money, there are much better options.[ATTACH=full]8566[/ATTACH]
