SEB Spreads the Joy — Gen II Joystick Bipods Arrive in USA
It was Christmas in April this weekend, as our new GEN II Joystick Bipod system arrived — thanks to Sebastian (Seb) Lambang of SEB Coaxial. We’re anxious to try this sophisticated new system on a variety of rifles, both small-bore and big-bore. Designed for F-TR shooters, we think the new Joystick bipod (aka “Joy-Pod”) may also prove popular with tactical shooters and varmint hunters who need a lightweight, yet easily-adjustable front support. Like his coaxial front rests, Lambang’s Joystick Bipod controls both horizontal (windage) and vertical (elevation) with a single control arm. In addition, the GEN II “Joy-Pod” offers cant adjustment with its tilting head.
Gross height can be easily adjusted on the vertical legs, both of which feature a column of precision-machined teeth (like on a jack), with a positive quick-adjust locking mechanism. The whole Joy-Pod system weighs about 21 ounces, and SEB even provides a handy nylon storage case.
We’ll be field-testing our new Joy-Pod in the near future and we’ll let you know how it works. SEB is not soliciting advance orders just yet — as there may be some final mods on the production version. Price hasn’t been set yet, but it should be competitive with the popular F-TR wide-base bipods on the market. If you’re intrigued, you’ll find many more hi-rez product photos on Seb Lambang’s Facebook Page.

I saw a facebook post by James Crofts stating he had just received his new joy stick bipod. It appears to weigh 4 more ounces than the ones used by his teammates. It too shows the maker standing on top of his rest. It will be interesting to see who wins out with the best rest. Something is always new on the horizon. Who says the FTR-Shoters are not in a equipment race, just like the F-Open shooters. I think they need to change the name from F-Class to “Belly Benchrest”.
It only gets better.

Damn, Seb’s got some little feet!
Bipod looks terrific, should sell as many as he can make.
Now if Seb or Ernie Bishop would just provide a website that was anywhere near current… Seb’s content is at least three generations old. If it wasn’t for AccurateShooter, Seb would have no CURRENT product visibility at all.
One of the shooters in our 600 yard match yesterday had one of these bipods. He only had two negative comments, one, the “joystick” is too long so he plans to shorten it and two you can’t let go off the joystick while shooting or it will snap back to it’s lowest position.
I would like to be on the waiting list for the new SEB joy pod thanks Gord
