This is an extremely well made bipod. It is a bit expensive but well worth it when compared to all the junk on the market. If you are looking for the best bipod out there and cost is not the driving factor then this is an excellent choice. I own two as well as multiple cheaper models and there is just no middle ground. You either go for it and drop a pretty good chunk of change on a high end model or make the trade off in dollars versus quality. Cheaper units will not hold up as well but primarily they just will not have the rock solid feel of this one.
