  • Expensive but nearly perfect
Color: Aluminum
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. ... show more

  • A High Quality, Premium Tripod A High Quality, Premium Tripod
Color: Aluminum
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. ... show more

  • Pricey, but feels good to use
Color: Aluminum
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. ... show more

  • Very thoughtful design. Too heavy for most travel.
Color: Aluminum
This tripod is wonderfully designed. It's compact, yet "full" height, and very stable. Incredibly comfortable to use, both in terms of the manual setup and trusting it to hold your equipment. The lifetime warranty is outstanding. Submitting a warranty claim is easy through their website, and I received shipping notification for my replacement parts within a day or two, no questions asked. My additional request for extra stickers was also promptly accepted. Through a handful of emails, the company seems like a great one that genuinely cares about their customers and does what they can to produce a high quality product with sustainability in mind. The ball head has a little bit of a learning curve. The vertical angles are limited when tilted for portrait orientation (However, by remounting your camera 90° one way or the other, every angle can be achieved. Just not covneniently.). This of course can be worked around by an L-Bracket mounting attachment or full cage system. My main issue with this tripod is the weight. While about the size of a 1L Smart Water bottle, the nearly 3.5lb weight is quite cumbersome, and the 0.6lb reduction for the CF model doesn't seem like enough to justify the price (for me), as it still comes in at nearly 3lbs. My old $30 Sunpak, while not very compact, weighs less than 2lbs, has a smaller mounting surface more suitable for compact heads, and actually deploys and closes faster with only 3 leg sections. To be clear, I really like this tripod. I think Peak Design has produced a very well-designed, and very high quality product that is worth the premium price if you can afford it. But I think it's far more robust than most of us need it to be, and the subsequent weight renders it completely 'untravelable' for my uses. I would love to see them put out a "light duty" model similar to the Oben CTT-1000L or SmallRig's AP-02. Something in the $100-200 range that is only meant to support 8-12lbs instead of the 20lb capacity that is well overkill for most of us. Something that finds a balance between weight and compactness, possibly sacrificing some maximum height in the interest of maintaining a reasonable weight. ... show more

  • Stupidly expensive but worth every penny
Color: Aluminum
I hated spending as much as I did on this tripod until I used it a few times. Its compact size is amazing, and it is surprisingly sturdy in windy conditions despite being lightweight aluminum. I have a couple of heavier tripods that don't do as well. The included iPhone holder folds up nicely into the center shaft, so is always there when I go looking for it. The standard feet do well on most surfaces although you can buy feet that will dig in nicely when extra stability is needed. I've used this with iPhone, decently large camera, and compact ham radio antenna, all flawless. It's easy and quick to set up and take down. If there is any criticism it might be that the pressboard case it comes in doesn't last long, but I keep it in with other gear, so not a problem. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • Built like a tank
Color: Aluminum
It may be a 'travel' tripod, but unless you need more height, it's perfectly good for every-day use. This tripod is expensive, but keep in mind Peak Design's lifetime warranty. You can absolutely get by with a $50 tripod, especially if you're not shooting for a living. But for pro's, the tight tolerances and satisfying design has additional value since you're using it day in and day out. -The ball head is very quick to adjust, but it does occasionally slump over when loaded with a full size DSLR and flash. -You're going to need to tighten up the leg latches to your preference, but the included key is very convenient. I have yet to lose it. -You will get the most out of this if you move into the Peak Design ecosystem, and switch to their mounting plate. That's a huge ask for most people, but I've made the switch from a Manfrotto plate without issue, other than the cost. - It is quite heavy. Get the carbon fiber one if you'll be hiking up actual mountains and such. ... show more

  • Best, most intuitive tripod head I’ve used.
Color: Aluminum
Not the lightest (aluminum version) at 3.3 lbs, it’s only negative. The head on this thing - wow. Don’t get headfaked by the complainers, I have a basket of tripods and this one’s by far the easiest, most intuitive head I’ve used to date. To wit: have used it with a Sony A7rIV with dual battery, and Sony 200-600 G lens. Heavy! My Arca-Swiss plate snaps in perfectly (just have to remove the two plate screws using the included tool or any 2.5mm tool), and in a second this heavy camera config is locked by rotating the locking ring (“locked” means the Arca-Swiss button can’t be depressed). From there, the camera can be freely rotated in any direction you want. Just aim the camera where you want it, then tighten the main ring around the head. Love it! Literally takes a couple of seconds to adjust the head to any position. Leg latches are nice too, curved so you can open or close all 3 inches of each length together. Pricey but what a great tripod. ... show more

  • The Premier Travel Tripod
Color: Aluminum
There's not much I can say about this tripod that hasn't been covered by the thousands of YouTube reviews. To that end, I give kudos to Peak Design for understanding how to effectively market their products to their target audience. This is not my first Peak Design product, and I doubt it will be my last. Every time I purchase another Peak Design product, I acknowledge that there are cheaper versions of similar products available. What makes Peak Design different is that their products are specifically designed to minimize or eliminate the "friction points" that get in the way of taking photos and videos. This design comes at a cost, but ultimately I find that I'm more likely to use my expensive camera when things like bags, clips, and straps aren't getting in the way. Turning to the tripod, this is a perfect example of a novel design that helps reduce friction points in the photo/video process. The physical changes make this device thin enough that it can easily be carried in most bags or backpacks without needing a special tripod carrier. Unlike other travel tripods, you don't need to waste time with flipping the legs each time you unfold/refold the tripod. The lever locks mean the legs can be quickly deployed, and you can visually confirm that the legs are locked. The camera can be attached to the ballhead with a literal snap, and it securely locks into place with a quarter turn. Adjusting the ballhead is done with a single ring, rather than dealing with a separate pan/friction/general knob. In essence, this tripod is trying to reduce each of the annoying parts about using a tripod. When your tripod doesn't get so much in the way of the creative process, that means you are more likely to bring and use it. This is not the "perfect" tripod, but it is--in my opinion--the "easiest" tripod. And that's been my experience with Peak Design products. There may be other products that are technically superior or which are cheaper, but I find that the products which focus on ease of use over specs and price tend to be the ones I use again and again. For that reason, the price is one I'm happy to pay. ... show more
