BOG DeathGrip Ball Head Complete Conversion Kit - Adds Ball Head

In this review the BOG DeathGrip Ball Head Complete Conversion Kit is judged primarily for shooters and photographers who already own the original BOG DeathGrip tripod and need a robust way to add ball head functionality. The bottom line: if you want a lightweight, precision-machined adapter that converts the DeathGrip into a ball head-compatible platform, this kit delivers straightforward compatibility with any 3/8-16 thread ball head and a durable anodized finish built for field use.

Key Features

• Original tripod compatibility: Designed specifically to work only with the BOG DeathGrip tripod original version, ensuring a precise fit and stable connection for those tripods.
• Universal ball head support: Accepts all 3/8-16 thread ball heads so users can attach their preferred head for shooting or camera work without modifications.
• Premium materials: Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized in matte black to resist corrosion and stand up to rough outdoor handling.
• Proudly designed in the USA: Engineered by American shooters for practical performance in hunting and tactical environments where reliability matters.
• Modular upgrade path: Offers optional upgrades such as the NS67 ball head (45 lb rating) or an Arca-Swiss M-LOK mount to customize the kit for heavier gear or quick camera mounting.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at hunters, field shooters, and photographers who already own the original BOG DeathGrip tripod and want to add ball head capability without replacing the tripod. It is a practical upgrade for those who prize lightweight, precision components and prefer parts engineered with shooting use in mind.

It is not for users with non-original versions of the DeathGrip tripod or those who need an all-in-one tripod and head; the kit will not work with other tripod models and is not a substitute for a full tripod head system for users who do not already have a compatible tripod.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid fit and function for the original DeathGrip tripod, giving a stable platform for ball heads.
• High-quality 6061-T6 aluminum construction and matte anodize provide durable corrosion resistance.
• Flexible compatibility with any 3/8-16 ball head and modular upgrade options add adaptability.

Cons

• Only compatible with the BOG DeathGrip original tripod, so it is not useful to owners of other tripod models.
• Some customers found the price high relative to a simple adapter, so value perceptions vary.
