Peak Design Travel Tripod - Aluminium

The greatly anticipated Travel Tripod from Peak is here! Raising over $12 million on Kickstarter in 2019, this tripod is ready to shake the photography world. This tripod has gained much excitement due to its sleek and low-profile design. Where other travel tripods would waste space with unnecessary bulk, this tripod packs down to the diameter of a water bottle with zero dead space. Despite the tiny design, it has been optimised for use with full-frame DSLRs and telephoto lenses, but can be used with a whole range of kit including mirrorless systems and spotting scopes. It's weatherproof, impact-resist and with the tiny size of this tripod, there really is no reason not to bring your tripod with you on your next adventure!

Expanded Peak Design Travel Tripod Key Features:

Zero Dead Space

When designing a new travel tripod, Peak Design had the overriding thought that it needs to be more portable. With that in mind, they set out to remove as much dead space as they possibly could to make this tripod as portable as possible. They most certainly have achieved that with this tripod. By packing all the elements closer together so they fit like puzzle pieces, they have eliminated the dead space you would find on other travel tripods. This tripod is so sleek that I can pack to the diameter of a water bottle, resulting in a new use for your water bottle pocket on your rucksack!

The Ball Head

Along with a sleek tripod design, they wanted to work on the ball head as well. Unlike other tripod heads where you're left guessing which knob to turn and even when you've got the right one, you wonder how far you're supposed to turn it! Peak Design decided... "Nah" . They created an all-encompassing, single adjustment ring that gives you complete movement. It's simple to use and has a smooth satisfying operation. Their locking ring, located just above, provides even more stability and reduction to any vibrations. This lock is merely a precaution - Even without it, you're camera will be securely locked in place.

All The Features

So there's a new amazingly low-profile design, an ergonomic ball head; what else could there be? Well. The tripod is sleek but has actually been optimised for full-frame DSLRs and telephoto lenses. This shows just how strong it really is, highlighting its versatility and how you can really use just about any kit that you have for any situation you find yourself in. It's also phone-friendly with its stowable, universal phone mount that's tucked into the centre column and it'll easily slot onto the head with the arca-type compatibility. Finally, the legs need a mention. Specifically the cam levers that allow for an incredibly fast set up and pack down once you've got your shot. It can fully deploy in 9.8 seconds!
