Peak Design Travel Tripod - Aluminium

For years, traditional tripods have suffered from needless bulk and wasted space. We spent 4 years redesigning the tripod from the ground up, creating a travel tripod that packs down to the diameter of a water bottle—without compromising height, stability, or features. Radically faster to setup and takedown, our tripod features ergonomic adjustment points, built-in mobile compatibility, and thoughtful details at every turn. Plus, it’s built for life on the road: durable, 100% serviceable, and backed by the Peak Design lifetime guarantee. Tripod includes legs, ballhead, protective soft case, ARCA-compatbile Standard Plate, mobile mount, hex tool with carrying clip, and bushing removal tool for maintenance. See Specs section below for details.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Owen ★★★★★

I've been using this tripod for landscape shots and the leg adjustment mechanism is noticeably smoother than my old one. The center column locks solid even with my heavy telephoto lens, and it packs down tight enough to fit in my daypack's side pocket.

Sophia ★★★★★

The way it collapses to water-bottle size is genius — I can toss it in my daypack without thinking. Sets up fast, holds my camera rock-steady at full extension, and the build feels solid for the weight.

Penelope N. ★★★★★

I was a bit skeptical about how stable a tripod this compact could be, but the twist-lock leg mechanism is rock-solid even with my heavy telephoto lens. It sets up in seconds and the ball head holds position perfectly for long exposures.
