That clamp features rubber on the inside, which prevents damage and provides some added grip.

This means the Manfrotto Alpha Shot Carbon – grip pro kit tripod can be used for various purposes.
Trigger & Friction
The thing that makes this grip pro 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 Carbon – grip pro kit tripod. That level allows you to easily check how straight the mount and the rifle are.
Durable legs
The Manfrotto Alpha Shot Carbon – grip pro kit tripod has a load capacity of 8 kg. The legs are length-adjustable from a minimum length of 800 mm to a maximum length of 1870 mm. That adjustable range allows you to shoot from nearly any comfortable elevation. You can even adjust the angles of the tripod’s legs. This can increase stability, but it also means there are even more adjustability options. The three legs have rubber feet, which ensure you’ll have plenty of grip on various surfaces.
The Alpha Shot Carbon – grip pro kit tripod by Manfrotto is made of lightweight yet durable carbon, which results in a weight of only 3.4 kg. There’s a hook at the bottom of the centre tube, which can be used to suspend some extra weight if you want to plant the tripod with even more stability.
