Wanted to purchase a bipod to attach to a sling swivel stud. Need the pro & cons of each.

I have used both extensively over the years. I prefer the pivot type for most situations. If you can be SURE of a level shooting platform (like a bench) DON'T get the pivot. Without the pivot, they really feel rock-solid.

My shooting data suggests that both types of bipod support my rifle better than I can shoot it :)

Found video very interesting and also like the idea of the pod-loc.

The KMW pod-lok video link that was presented by trinydex, would stabilize the pivot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpJlcyUlqjg&feature=youtu.be
