Quoted: Has any one tried that grip pod? It looks like it would be perfect.

If you did what did you think about it?

I was very hesitant to post this as many on this forum seem to think that the grippod is heresy. I ordered one and just received it yesterday. Now I had not taken it out yet to the range for a test drive, but I sure tell you what, it looks perfect. There is no wobble in it like so many of my other front grips I have on AR-15's. Quality workmanship, sturdy, and enginious. I got the aluminum one because the SOCOM is kind of heavy with the sage already, and you don't even notice the extra weight. I figured aluminum is the way to go for a SOCOM. I guess you might get the plastic one with an AR15. Just waiting for the Sage rail adapter. That would move in more towards the rear and improve the balance.
I agree with many that is is kind of expensive, expecially the plastic one (@ $150). But when you consider that a regular foregrip is about $50, the Harris Bipod is another $70 or so, and all the little adpater do hicky things are another $20-30, it is just slightly more. Still, it does seem kind of high for some reason.
I think it is a 'must have'.
When I get some more money I am going to order one for my AR-15 (probably the plastic one) and get rid of my Harris bipod.
Of course, I want to try it at the range a few times first.
