Review of cheap Airsoft "Atlas" bipod
Posted: Thu May 29, 2014 9:22 pm
Before you start, as far as I know this is a licensed product for the Airsoft market, if Accu-shot aren't happy then I'll gladly give them the details of the eBay seller.
I bought this on a whim as I could never justify the true cost of an original, at least not until I'm competing at a level that would demand it, so never.
Paid £35 for it and it arrived in 12 days from China.
Packaged like this (under some black plastic)

Popped it out and here it is

To me it feels pretty solidly built, all metal and everything seems work.
It has the same push-button adjusters for the legs as the original, knurled detents for the later model legs, the screw on the bottom to tighten the pan/tilt up and the pin to remove the feet.



One major difference is the mount, using a screw instead of a quick release lever. Still works fine though.

The angle of the legs is adjusted by pushing the button and pivoting the leg to the next notch, the length by pulling the knurled ring and sliding the leg to the desired notch. Both of these actions work fine though one leg is a little tighter than the other.



The pan/tilt is adjusted using the big screw on the underside of the main body. Loosening works fine for me but, even at it's tightest I can still pan. Annoying but not too bad and it's something I may be able to fix.
Mounting is simple, slacken off the screw, and lever the thing on, pushing the screw if required as it's spring loaded.


I'm happy with it for a plinking bipod, great for the money and a bit more flexible than a Harris type.
