Heads and saddles for the DeathGrip Sherpa
"Maker says it fits" means the head maker or BOG sells the two together or names the pairing on its own page. "Interfaces match" is our check that the published top meets the head's published base; the parts connect, but no maker has said so. Rig figures are calculated from both makers' numbers.
| Head or saddle | Basis | Its weight | Rig weight (calculated) | Rig load rating (calculated) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Rig weight is this tripod's published weight plus the head's; rig load is the lower of the two published ratings. BOG does not say whether its heights include a head, so no top-of-head figure is given. Blank where a maker does not publish the number. All heads and saddles.
