Manfrotto standard camera adaptor screwed to a ADM-170-S: Atlas Accessory

Or if you want one on the cheap you can get a Chinese copy of the ADM-170 from airsoft.....that's where I got mine.....and screw it to the Manfrotto camera adaptor. The screw holes line up perfectly. You bolt the ADM to the camera adaptor and they work...The ADM-170 clamps to your pic rail and the Manfrotto adaptor clips into your Manfrotto tripod head....

Re: Mounting a Picatinny rail on a R8 Professional.
Just smarter. I've put the picatinny bipod rail on all my stocks now. I just make sure it's the exact same rail so there's no adjustments when changing over. It's a super steady platform and locks in tight and makes them long shots much better.
Measure it, when it’s on the deck

This is the hardware for using a Manfrotto tripod. MHXPRO-BHQ2 XPRO BALL HEAD WITH 200PL, the ADM-170 clamp and a couple of bolts to bolt the 200PL tripod attachment.

fingers crossed it doesn't snap the head on the tripod with the heaver cals.

Did that with 2 of my pro/adj comb R8’s using the AREA 419 rail, which includes a sling swivel QD socket. All of the pic edges have a nice radius so it doesn’t bite. https://www.area419.com/product/imroved ... -straight/

Re: Mounting a Picatinny rail on a R8 Professional.
Nice looking setup Brad! You can keep the bipod on whilst attaching to the tripod as the pic rail is much larger....
