Tip for those who are using a 3-section tripod, but don't need to use the full height of the tripod. Extend the middle section (leaving the bottom section inside the tube), then the top section. This will ensure the tripod has as much rigidity as possible! Having been a landscape/nature photographer for decades, I've come to use this technique a lot when I am shooting lower than full height! The new tripod design looks slick as hell...I dig it!!!!!!!!!

Had my mind set on a TwoVets tripod until I kept seeing the Fatboy name coming up. Checked KZitem and there were quite a few videos from your channel which initially made me think you were probably the typical shills we keep seeing in the industry. After watching just one of them it's obvious you guy's are coming from an informed shooters position and not from a sales pitch position. Appreciate the comprehensive reviews. I'm sold

No BS, just ordered this off Amazon about 1/2hr ago, and hit KZitem to check out some reviews. Lucky I stumbled on this one, and immediately saw that I fucked up lol (got the regular 2-position). Cancelled the order, and re-ordered the “Elevate” through you guys. Y’all do solid reviews on stuff, appreciate the work! 🇺🇸

I will be picking up one of these soon. On another topic about bipods, I think I saw one of your videos with a bipod that had an adapter that slid the bipod forward and backward in the same plane/parallel to the ARCA rail. Please let me know of you have or are familiar with anything like that. Thanks for your great product reviews.

Please forgive my newness. New to tripods. Been firing powder burners all my life and still have plenty that I lost in a terrible boating accident. Especially here in California. I’ve recently picked up a new interest in airguns. Being virtually no recoil and the lighter weight, would you recommend the Deathgrip infinite or the Fatboy? I do like the ball head the fatboy offers. Can I add a fatboy ball head to a Deathgrip at a later date? I have a Harley fatboy, and a DonnyFl Fatboy moderator. Do you sense a theme going? Ha Thank you for your service and will be placing my first order with you soon. -Jas

Depends on how serious you are or plan on getting into it. Recoil is less a consideration than just stability while shooting. I will tell you if you’re shooting distance and you shoot using a FatBoy then go try to shoot off the Deathgrip back to back… you’ll never want to shoot off thre Deathgrip again. The difference is profound. The Deathgrip is a good value for the money and not everyone needs to spend $1000 on a tripod but man, shooting off those is like shooting from prone. The combined stability you get from the tripod and the ball head is nuts. Thanks for watching! -Gary

Would there be any problem if I shorted the longer threaded portion of the side chick to the same length as the short side? It seems like it would be easy enough to do and it would prevent damage to the ball should it be attached backwards.

I would go with the 60 for sure for hog hunting. I see the 40 for backwoods or alpine hunt where you’re up for long treks and every ounce counts. Or honestly, for hogs go with the Levitate that I just released a review. We’re also giving a tripod and a Levitate away.

Richie, when I started looking at top tier tripods I was determined to carry a brand that was made in USA. Unfortunately the only one I could find that was is Really Right Stuff and an equivalent tripod was $1500 WITHOUT a head so you’re looking at $1800 for an equivalent setup. Going back even further I was determined to only carry merchandise that was USA made, it’s just not realistic. Lots of items simply have no USA Made options or they’re so expensive they don’t make sense. It’s unfortunate but it’s a political issue. Politicians have and continued to incentivize moving production to china specifically.

@Paramount Tactical I'm not even dead set on American made. I just wish it was made in a country that wasn't so against everything we stand for. Pay a living wage in a free country that don't hate us should be achievable. It's incredibly sad that the incentive structure is totally against that.

Well first of all we’re not FatBoy so we don’t set prices. Secondly you don’t know you’re talking about because BOG tripods are around $400 and they don’t even compare to FatBoy tripods in quality or performance. Thirdly, they do compare in price and still outperform by a wide margin both Two Vets tripods which are similarly priced and Really Right Stuff Tripods which are even more expensive than FatBoy Tripods. It’s like someone that doesn’t know the first thing about cars asking why isn’t the Ferrari priced the same as a Hyundai. So I’m sorry to say you are uninformed and don’t know the market. As a dealer I can tell you they seemed to be priced right because we can’t keep them in stock. Thanks for watching. -Gary

😂I don’t speak hieroglyphs but I’m assuming you’re saying they’re expensive. They are. But they’re still cheaper than most of the popular top tier tripods that aren’t nearly as good. This is why we carry BOG as well. If you’re not a serious LR shooter or hunter, you probably don’t need FatBoy tripods. You can get a decent tripod for under $400. Thanks for watching! -Gary
