A support mount is configured to couple a firearm to a support stand. The support mount includes an attachment member configured to be selectively coupled to the support stand, a first platform coupled relative to the attachment member in a first orientation relative to the attachment member, and a second platform coupled relative to the attachment member in a second orientation. The second orientation is oriented differently than the first orientation of the first platform. The support mount includes an adjustment subassembly operable to move the first platform and the second platform relative to each other. The adjustment subassembly is configured to clamp the firearm to the support mount.

A recoil management system.

A recoil management system.

An accessory or gun-mounted support stand apparatus including a release mechanism and locking mechanism configured to allow or prevent longitudinal movement of telescoping legs.

The disclosure relates to locking assemblies. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to locking assemblies for a center column of a stationary platform. In another embodiment, the disclosure relates to locking assemblies for legs of a stationary platform.

A modular handle system for a firearm is disclosed. The modular handle system is comprised of several components that are interchangeable. The separate components utilize a connector and a sleeve combination to removably attach components together. The handle system may use fixed handles, pivot handles using a pivot sphere for maneuverability, tripods, or any other firearm component. The separate components may be removed and attached as desired by the user. The sleeves have internal protrusions which fix the connector in place when the connector is inserted into a cavity in the sleeve.

The disclosure relates to the field of supporting devices and objects with tripods. In particular though not exclusively the invention relates to a tripod assembly comprising a tripod chassis body which is supportable above a surface by a plurality of tripod legs which are arranged, in use, below the chassis body, the chassis body defining a central aperture between the tripod legs, a functional module which fits in the central aperture, and locking means for locking the functional module, which has been located in the central aperture. In this way a number of functional modules can be used with a tripod to support a variety of objects such as firearms, photographic devices, or payloads. The disclosure also relates to a tripod central column according to the preceding claim including means for containing a plurality of tool components.
