Kind of an apples and oranges comparison. The Elevate is designed as a lightweight hunting bipod for rifles 12lb and under. The CKYE-Pod is a great bipod, with similar height range (in some configurations), but a bit heavier and in my mind more suited for match/tactical/range applications. Different design goals.
Twist locks! No thanks. I’ll keep my Hatch out West. Talk about fumbling. Just a simple pull on the Hatche’s legs without out even coming off the riffle is far superior.
Twist locks and spring loaded. I tend to pre-set the twist locks and use the spring loaded legs for fine tuning once behind the rifle. Works really well.
Called and left my number with y’all wanting to ask questions about this bipod, and to order one. Didn’t hear not one word back. I’ll never buy anything from y’all. If you won’t call me back over a $400 product, why would I spend close to 10 grand with you guys??!!
Picatinny makes perfect sense for the first offering as it's a lot more versatile. Arca is awesome, but not as common. I'd love to use this on my hunting rifle as well as my AR's. Picatinny lets me do that a little easier. My wife says I have a limited budget for toys, so being able to swap this around to different platforms is appreciated!
@aarondavidson2156 some people would complain if hung with a new rope...keep up the great work, some of us appreciate it! there is no way a company like this would forget arca.
