RiggerJJ Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I am looking for a clamp type ARCA adapter for an Atlas Bipod. I have a screw knob type and it keeps coming loose... any such animals out there??? Thanks! jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delfuego Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hey JJ! Check out this one, not cheap and you need an additional adapter but fits your bill. It might be discontinued, because they are not on RRS website any more. Mile High has them in stock, you you could swing by there for one. https://www.milehighshooting.com/really-right-stuff-btca-b-t-clamp-adapter-w-soar-lever-release/ https://www.milehighshooting.com/really-right-stuff-sc-lr-soar-lever-release-clamp/ https://www.milehighshooting.com/really-right-stuff-btca-adapter-for-b-t-atlas-bipods-no-clamp/ I run the screw type w/o issues, but RRS redesigned the knob, maybe others are saying the same thing as you. http://soar.reallyrightstuff.com/BTC-Pro-Clamp-for-Atlas-Bipod I also have the MPA adapter and have played with the Area 419 ones. Both are "screw" type but with a better knob. Mine don't slip for me. You can also run a standard RRS QD lever plate. Sawtooth Rifles has some cool stuff, they help pioneer some of these gadgets too. http://www.sawtoothrifles.com/ Good luck brother!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99mpower Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 LOVE my RRS screw style Arca adapter. Not sure who you are using, but worth a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAustin316 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 RRS lever lock clamps are the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 The new RRS BTC clamps are a lot easier to tighten down. Mine hasn't loosened on it's own once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) The reason some of the clamps are tight is because the dovetail angles aren't quite the same when you mix different brands with RRS clamps. If you use RRS plates with RRS clamps they mesh up tight because their angles are the same... more contact area, better clamping. Axe me how I learned this the expensive way with a chassis long range rig using the manufacturer's "Arca" plate... where you could see daylight through the clamping area because they only crudely got the angle. Gotta try and return or just stick to all RRS stuff. Edited May 10, 2019 by Frankly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyLtd Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 The Area 419 version is great. Match faster to adjust on the move with the knob versus the RRS lever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t have issues with it coming loose? I feel I can’t get the right amount of torque that Id like with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a guy 3D print up some enlarged knobs to put over the gold knobs to give me that extra “umph” to make sure they are locked down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatPanda Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I just the ckyepod which has a twist lock plate and don’t seem to have any issues keeping it where it belongs. Maybe something is out of spec with your Area419 stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAustin316 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 That was my hesitation for the ckyepod. I know with the atlas I can swap to the lever locks with ease. The ckyepod is proprietary so unless I configure a pic to Arca Mount I’ll be SOL. Maybe I need to work on my grip more lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
