Contrary to popular belief, the cheapest product is not always the best value for our money. Sometimes the best, even when it\u2019s costly, is the best value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Editor for GunsAmerica and as a competitive shooter I get to see the latest greatest equipment and gear at trade shows, matches, and when visiting companies. I\u2019ve seen or shot off of just about every bipod ever made. The MDT Gen 2 CKYE-POD bipod is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of bipods. There is literally not a bipod that is more versatile or that has more useful adjustments than the CKYE-POD. There are also only a handful of bipods that cost more but we can all dream about what we’d buy if we won the lottery, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The versatility is incredible.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What I have here for review and in the pictures is the Standard CKYE-POD model and I chose to use the Really Right Stuff (RRS), SC-LR Mount because it\u2019s also amazing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, CKYE is pronounced \u201csky.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the adjustments on CKYE-POD are designed to be made with one hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RRS SC-LR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The RRS SC-LR Mounts to the RRS Mount that you order your CKYE-POD to come configured with. Installing the mount is incredibly simple. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The RRS SC-LR mount allows you to quick detach with a lever to both Picatinny rail or ARCA rail. You can literally swap between the two with no adjustments. The ingenuity of this mount is something all on its own.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
You don’t have to choose. It mounts to both. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

MDT CKYE-POD Adjustments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The legs each have 3 locking vertical positions that can be made independent of each other. This is the Down vertical position. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
This is the middle or Angled vertical position.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
This is all the way forward or in the Stowed position. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
Part of the height adjustments come from the ability to adjust the width of the legs. The legs lock in the following three configurations: Narrow, Medium, and Wide. This is the Narrow width configuration. Even though it’s narrow it is still extremely stable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
Medium width configuration. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
This is the Wide width configuration. Note that you can combine the vertical and width adjustments. For example, the lowest useable setting on the bipod would be with Angled vertical position combined with the Wide width (Not pictured) for a height of about 4.5 inches.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The legs also adjust for length. There are 8 locking length positions. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
A one handed pull will extend the length of either leg.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
A one handed press of the leg lever will unlock and allow you to shorten the legs. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The tallest configuration is Narrow width combined with the Down position and the legs completely extended.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
In the tallest config the CKYE POD Standard is almost 15.5 inches tall. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The CKYE POD has a 170 degrees of total cant adjustment. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
85 degrees of cant each direction. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The cant can be locked in any position via the stainless steel knob. The knurled knob also adjusts the amount of drag for the cant. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The CKYE POD also pans 360 degrees. The lock for panning is shown by the arrow. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
That is the barricade stop. You can reverse and have it face forward by either panning 180 degrees or flipping the bipod mount. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The feet are extremely aggressive and can be swapped out with other brands of feet designed for Atlas-style bipods. Also, note a feature that I love is the skateboard tape on the legs. It makes for an extreme gripping surface as well as pushed up against anything and it doesn’t move. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The Standard Gen 2 CKYE-POD with the RRS SC-LR installed weighs just 1.59 lbs. The SC-LR by itself weighs 0.238 lbs. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The CKYE-POD is well built using stainless steel and anodized aluminum. It’s even better engineered. It’s extremely stable and easy to shoot off of as well as adjust. If the Standard model isn’t tall enough MDT makes a double and a triple pull version that has the same features with more length. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After having used the CKYE-POD I wouldn\u2019t even consider not owning one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, if you need the best bipod money can buy, the MDT CKYE-POD coupled with the RRS SC-LR is unbeatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MDT has great pictures and a good video on their site which you can check out here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CKYE-POD Standard MSRP $599<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A former professional sponsored 3-Gun and Multigun competitor with multiple championships and titles, True\u2019s shooting career began in long-range and tactical sniper matches\u2014and he still burns powder in precision competitions, now branching into Hunter NRL. A certified firearms instructor who has trained over 10,000 students face-to-face, True has also served on both sides of the courtroom as an attorney and currently as an elected Prosecuting Attorney. He has prosecuted and defended high-profile self-defense and firearms cases, giving him a unique, real-world perspective on the Second Amendment. Outside the courtroom and off the range, True is a true western outdoorsman. A lifelong hunter and rancher, he rides and hunts off his own string of horses and pack animals, chasing elk, mule deer, wolves, coyotes, and anything else in season. He\u2019s a longtime reloader, producing both precision rifle ammo and, back in the day, handloading over 40,000 rounds of 9mm and 5.56 annually for competition. He\u2019s also a thermal and night vision expert, known for his obsession with high-end optics, and is rarely found without a camera or a guitar nearby. Whether he\u2019s glassing a distant ridge, reviewing cutting-edge gear, or deep in legal research, True brings passion, precision, and grit to everything he does.
