The disclosure discloses a universal supporting mechanism, comprising a lifting platform for fixing lifting equipment and a connecting seat, and further comprising a universal ball head fixedly connected with the lifting platform, with the universal ball head movably connected with the connecting seat via a connector. The disclosure does not need to be adjusted separately by two or more angle adjustment mechanisms, the angle adjustment can be achieved in one step, the structure is simple, and the application range is wide.

An interface for coupling a bipod to a sling stud of a firearm forend. The interface can include two pawls that pivot to release or grasp the sling stud. The pawls can be biased upward via a detent that rides within a vertical aperture in a pivot holder. The pivot holder can move up and down within a vertical aperture in a mounting plate of the interface, and via this movement the pawls may be forced open or closed. A bottom surface of one or both pawls can include an irregular surface different portions of which interface with a top of the detent depending on a vertical position of the pivot holder within the aperture in the mounting plate.

The present disclosure relates to a leveling rail apparatus configured for directly mounting a rifle onto a tripod, a pan-tilt head mount, or other support structure, as disclosed herein. The apparatus may comprise, by way of example, a rail mount for securing the firearm; a leveling structure coupled to the rail mount and having at least one arcuate surface, the leveling structure operable to swivel about the arcuate surface; and a securing means coupled to the leveling structure, the securing means for securing the leveling structure to the rail mount.

Provided is a foot attachment adapter for a firearm support device having at least one leg. The adapter includes a body configured to attach to a leg of a firearm support device and a socket. A foot having has an attachment portion that is configured to be detachably received by the socket. A temporarily deformable elastomeric member is positioned at least partially in the socket to allow insertion of the foot portion and to releasably hold the attachment portion in the socket.

A bipod firearm support has a body defining a first bore and a second bore, a first offset bore segment associated with the first bore, and angularly offset with respect to the first bore, a second offset bore segment associated with the second bore, and angularly offset with respect to the second bore, a first elongated leg adapted to be closely and removably received in the first bore for stowage, a second elongated leg closely and removably received in the second bore for stowage, each of the first and second legs having a base segment sized to be closely received in the associated offset bore segment for deployment, and each of the first and second legs having an elongated leg portion connected to the base segment by way of a connection facility that enables angular flexure of each elongated leg portion with respect to the base segment.

A rifle bipod with a rifle support for operatively receiving and supporting a portion of a rifle, as well as two legs each having a tubular upper and lower portion and telescopically arranged with an urging element urging the portions and into an extended position is disclosed with a cam lock arrangement allowing infinite length adjustability between the telescoping upper and lower portions. Each leg has a foot attachment to releasably receive interchangeable feet whereby each leg is operatively able to engage a surface. Bipod also includes a stabilising arrangement pivotably attaching the legs to the rifle support at a commensurate off-vertical angle with a biasing element to operatively bias both legs towards each other. The stabilising arrangement includes a linkage to maintain the off-vertical angle commensurate as the legs pivot apart, wherein the rifle support is height adjustable via the telescoping legs and the linkage maintaining the off-vertical angle.
