Trigger & Friction
The thing that makes this grip kit tripod stand out is the diagonal, protruding grip with the trigger on its front face. Pulling that trigger unlocks the mount that’s attached to the ball bearing. Doing so allows you to easily move the entire mount freely and benefit from a full range of motion. There’s an adjustment wheel located in the grip, which can be used to manage the friction on the ball bearing. You can loosen it for increased manoeuvrability or you can tighten it for added stability and accuracy. That full range of movement can make it difficult to set your rifle perfectly straight. Something which may affect your shot’s accuracy. Luckily, Manfrotto really thought this one through and they have put a bubble level on the Alpha Shot Aluminium – grip pro kit tripod. That level allows you to easily check how straight the mount and the rifle are.
Adjustable legs
At the same time, this kit provides an extremely stable platform thanks to the three durable and length-adjustable legs. The Manfrotto Alpha Shot Aluminium – grip pro kit tripod has a carrying capacity of 8 kg, which means you can use it for nearly all rifles. The legs are made of aluminium and they are length-adjustable from 780 mm to a maximum length of 1870 mm. You can adjust the length by using the leg clamps, which allow you to set the legs at any desirable length. The rubber feet provide plenty of grip on various surfaces. There’s a hook on the bottom of the mount, which can be used to attach more weight to create an even more stable platform.
