Yes, I picked one up on this site from a member here. Like new condition.
Call them. 208-747-3010. I just met the Owners/Inventors in-person to get a clamp head for mine. Awesome folks! They are working on some exiting new products also.
Great Rick! Glad you like it!

Not that I've seen but I've never had a problem with the feet that comes with them.
I've had a lot of bipods and the most versatile and light one I have found is the evolution with prone legs for somewhat normal height grass, not ultra low, and extra long legs carried in pack for sitting, also you can combine the short and long legs for steep hills if needed, can't recommend enough, tripod Is to much hassle for daytime calling with lots of walking in my opinion
Do you have the Harris model with their picatinny connection or an aftermarket adapter? Been debating on getting a Harris but torn on their pic connector or a different model and an ADM QD adapter.

Aftermarket. Ordered a couple from Midway to try. No idea which one I have now.

I've had issues with the hatch bipod locking mechanism freezing in the winter making it difficult to collapse after set. If you coyote hunt below the ice belt I would recommend the hatch. One bipod to rule them all is the MDT triple pull zero issues except their weight.

Yah I agree, the 38oz MDT triple pull is getting up there in weight for a bipod and the affordability at $900.00 is another factor for most people. They definitely look top tier and we'll made.
I have a McMillan stock fitted with the spartan bipods socket. I bought an arca clamp and camera adapter to fit Spartans "universal adapter'. All of this is mounted on the primos trigger sticks bipod. It's a simple magnetic attachment on and off the rifle and can be used sitting to standing. I have a carbon fiber tripod also but it's a bit to carry and is only used in the high rack anymore.

You guys are at a different budget level than this old retired coyote hunter. I sit when I call coyotes because my back won't let me lie down prone. I started out with the old wooden dowels. Then I went to the fiberglass rods and castration bands. Then I went to the 27" Harris which I really liked but it was too short for me. I am 6'4" and long waisted so the Harris is a few inches too short for me. I wished they would make a model a couple of inches taller and I would buy those in a heartbeat. Then I went to a model designed by an ADC guy out of Granger, Wyoming. It has a swivel u-shaped yoke on top and two legs independent of the swivel yoke. That is the one I always come back to. Then I bought a Swagger bipod and kind of liked it, but it was a little too loose for me. This year I bought a Primos trigger stick bipod.and am not real enthused about it. I went back to the model made by the ADC guy out of Wyoming. Simple and easy for me. KISS principal.

Idk , I know there are tons of better choices and way more expensive options but I've killed tons of coyotes of the bog pod death grip. Honestly if I can't shoot off that rest or any other than I really need to reconsider my shooting skills lol. I kill lots of dogs every year and it never lets me down and the height is fine , I'm 6'4 and it works fine .
So I'm in the market for a higher end seated shot bipod (23+"). Those rockstedi ones appear the lightest at 13oz. The hatch which is highly regarded and about the same $ is 20oz. Then the pay double triple pull is nearly twice as heavy but no doubt great.
Besides speed of deployment, I just can't figure out why I wouldn't want to carry a slightly heavier tripod and just shoot off it.
For the 13oz penalty (I am carrying a tripod anyway) I can get a pretty sturdy tripod. Then I have pan/tilt/can't ability (many of the bipods mentioned don't) and one less thing to carry. Weight would be a wash and provide more glassing stability, and I get to carry one less item (bipod). Cost is another 30 seconds in setup time.
