Travel Tripod

This Thing is a Tiny Beast!

PD has somehow managed to create an incredibly small, portable, lightweight tripod that is simultaneously extremely well-built, tough, rugged, and capable of handling rigs far heavier than you'd expect.

Best lightweight tripod

If you are in PD, this tripod would be a game changer. Although arca swiss tripod works just fine, PD tripods secure the plate and lock in place.

Wow! Best Tripod Ever!

This is almost insane - this is, by far, the best tripod that I have ever used! I know there is a carbon fiber version, and I'm sure that is, technically, "better," but due to only doing personal photos and having a YouTube vlog channel, we went with the aluminum version, and we do not regret it. Compared to any other tripod we have seen, this has the smallest footprint when collapsed, and when fully expanded is right up there with the best of the best. The INCLUDED smart phone attachment is a HUGE added bonus for us, too! I don't know what can be said that other, vastly better people, have already said, but this is absolutely worth every single penny, and I only wish I would have purchased it sooner!

Super smooth, smart experience!

I have been using this tripod constantly in all types of terrains: from the beach, to the city, to the snowy mountains. Everything feels smooth and luxurious. It is super compressible and portable yet sturdy. I love that there are videos on how to fix normal wear and tear adjustments, and how to use all of the features of the tripod. Super good stabilization, the ballhead is super smooth but blocks up to provide proper stabilization on long exposures. Everything makes sense. The phone mount is a fantastic detail. My only "but" to this tripod is that it is heavier than I expected for a travel tripod. Perhaps the carbon fiber option is a good solution for this. Additionally, they have excellent customer service.

My very last travel tripod!

Lightweight, sturdy and perfect size! I've bought and travelled with several different travel tripods...some were too small and clumsy, others were heavier and bulkier than I really wanted. I wanted something small, lightweight and sturdy enough for a 100-400(500) and this is it! I've had it for a few years and travelled on 20+ trips and am extremely satisfied!

Fully featured portable tripod

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Like all Peak Design equipment, the details are what matters for this tripod. It comes with multiple features you'd expect in a carbon fiber tripod. It is extremely portable, does everything you would need from an adjustability perspective. It can mount the camera up or down (if you'd ever need to do that) as well as has a cell phone adaptor which stores in the center post. In my first uses of this tripod it adjusts easily and was solid in holding my Nikon Z8 camera with lenses.

Best lightest travel tripod ever made

The tripod is super light, packs super small, is very stable and looks amazing. What else would you need from a travel tripod?

Best of the best

I did some extensive research before buying my carbon fiber tripod. You never know how much your aluminum tripod moves until you read up on it! This tripod is worth it's weight in gold if you ask me. I LOVE how compact the tripod is, it waste no open space like other tripods and fits snuggly in the case. It's light weight and sturdy, easy to mount the camera (Z9 in my scenario) has extra locking features. High recommend this tripod it's worth the investment.

Light and compact a perfect travel companion

I bought the tripod a while ago and since then it has been my travel companion whenever landscape photographing was possible. It is very compact and fits my carry-on with no problem. It is sturdy enough, very versatile and easy to operate, even with gloves. It has faced salt water, sand and snow and is still perfectly usable (albeit with some scratches due to my frequently less-than-careful placement). Avter many years of use, I'm still very happy of the purchase.

Compact and Efficient

A bit heavy but packs down small; perfect for side-pocket on backpacks. I wish you could reverse the legs all the way.
