## Description

Product description Peak Design Travel Tripod We redesigned the tripod to pack down to the size of a water bottle without sacrificing height, stability, or features. It’s fast to set up, durable, and fully serviceable, with ergonomic adjustments and built-in mobile compatibility. hero-video Key Features Compact Design Packs down to the size of a water bottle with no wasted space or protruding knobs, making it ultra-portable and easy to carry. Rapid Deployment Fast-locking leg cams and a quick-release system ensure swift setup and takedown, so you’re always ready to shoot. Pro-Level Stability Supports up to 20lbs, offering exceptional stability and vibration damping, with modes for low and inverted shots. Ergonomic Ball Head The omnidirectional ball head features a single adjustment ring, allowing for quick and precise control without the clutter of multiple knobs. Available in Two Awesome Materials Aluminum Model Heavier than carbon fiber, making it feel more stable, yet with the same portability. It’s also more affordable, offering a budget-friendly option while still being durable and resistant to corrosion. Carbon Fiber Model Significantly lighter, offering better portability for travelers. It's more expensive due to advanced material and manufacturing, but it excels in absorbing vibrations, providing superior stability, especially in challenging conditions like wind or uneven terrain. Travel Tripod Pro Performance. Half the Size. The Travel Tripod brings you pro-level stability, load capacity, and deployed height, yet packs down to the diameter of a water bottle. A ground-up redesign of the traditional tripod, the Travel Tripod is the result of 4 years of engineering. Travel Tripod Technical Specifications

Review: Expensive but nearly perfect - I have a tripod problem. Too many tripods in the stable over the years! Still in search of the perfect tripod. With low cost, low weight, compact for hiking, easy deployment, tall enough for near eye level work, and sturdy enough for a heavier setup. And more importantly, plate compatibility allowing easy transferability to alternate carry systems (strap clip, PD Capture). The Peak Designs team really did listen to photographers looking for a multi-purpose travel tripod. As a photographer who spends time hiking for picture taking opportunities, I have looked for the perfect travel tripod over the last decade. Surveying my current collection, including a Manfrotto MKC3-H01 travel tripod (now, MKCOMPACTACN-BK, with different proprietary hybrid head “joystick” grip ball head, and a different plate arrangement), a Velbon carbon fiber 630 with a Manfrotto 498 RC2 head, a Velbon DF-10ML (closely related to the EX Macro 3-section), and a small Neewer CK-30 compact tripod purchased for the Arca plate and ability for ground level macros. The PD aluminum tripod is not the lightest among them, and it is expensive --but it is one of the most thoughtful, compact, well-constructed, stable, and confidence inspiring tripods, with an advantage “in the field”. Features I like. Compact. In its carry state, a little taller than the size of a standard Nalgene water bottle. The legs, connection pieces, and clasps. I prefer the flip-out clasps for leg deployment over the screw types. For me, there is less fumbling around trying to find release and locking positions. The height is great, along with being able to position close to the ground. The ball head works well for me. The tightening mech on the ball works as expected, even with a Sony a7r-IV with a heavy Sony 200-600mm zoom. Positioning is easy and can be straight up or down. The Peak Design Capture clip uses the same Arca mount plate so you can easily go from carrying to tripod mount with no fumbling to change the mount plate. There is a locking mechanism that prevents accidental release of the plate. Tools attached to the tripod are a thoughtful addition. The carry bag is durable and apparently water proof. Things I don’t like. Price. Oh, the price is high for sure, even higher if you pick the lower weight carbon fiber version. Weight. It is not as light as my Manfrotto compact tripod, but not overly so. With anything like this, lower weight is always something I want. Is this tripod worth it? For those inclined to save money and look for a similar feature set, albeit not as complete? The Manfrotto travel tripod-- if you can find a head version that works for you (read through the comments on the different versions). IF Manfrotto had an Arca plate version, it would be a no brainer – significantly lower cost, lower weight, with just enough features, it would be a great choice. That said, I am keeping the Peak Designs tripod! For me, it is nearly perfect. If you can afford spending over $350 for a tripod, I do not think you would be disappointed.
Review: A High Quality, Premium Tripod - I never thought I'd spend this much on a tripod and couldn't even understand how a tripod could be worth hundreds of dollars. Right away the tripod feels extremely premium to me. All the parts slide and move smoothly and with ease but lock into place with confidence. There're so many thoughtful design elements too and everything has a nice storage solution. If you've already bought into the Peak Design ecosystem with their straps and quick release, this tripod makes life so much easier. I'm very happy to say the least.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What size is the hex head thats used on the locking levers on the legs? I've misplaced the allen head tools that come with the tripod.**
A: 2.5 mm hex works on the locking levers on the legs. The upper base uses a 4 mm hex.

**Q: Can I switch out your compact ball head for my own?**
A: There is a universal head adapter that you can buy that should give you the functionality you need. I've had no issues with the included head. It holds a heavy telephoto lens (Tamron 150-600) just fine.

**Q: Can you shoot from overhead using the tripod?**
A: You are supposed to but I have not done so, and I suggest going to their web site to see a demo to make sure.

**Q: I need extra quick release plates for multiple cameras. What type will fit? (50mm “standard” plates do not :-( )**
A: This tripod has it own plate design and you need their plates.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A High Quality, Premium Tripod

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pricey, but feels good to use
*by Z***K on June 16, 2023*

Let's be real: this thing is not cheap, it's not a Manfrotto, it's not the most fully-featured. What it is is a portable, sturdy, thoughtfully-designed system using an incredibly convenient quick release system usable with other Peak Design products and any other 3rd party accessories that use the same rail based mount. It's quick to set up, has a delightfully easy to use ball mount allowing for free rotation in all three directions, supports flipping the center column upside-down to suspend a camera underneath, and includes a small hard tool pocket that snaps into one of the legs, perfect for quickly swapping out mounts (not necessary if you are using a mount that uses a thumb screw, just nice to have). I'd like a level and knobs for fine adjustments but honestly, it's good enough. And feels good to use! I'm confident I'll have this thing for quite a while. Great to travel with, easy to set up, great build quality. Maybe just a skosh pricey.
