Peak Design Ultralight Conversion Kit for Travel Tripod

This kit contains 3 lightweight rugged plastic foot plugs that easily install in place of the lower 4 tripod leg sections. With the leg sections removed and the foot plugs installed, you’re left with a pro-quality tripod that is half the weight, yet still deploys to 57.2cm (22.5”). Removing the lower 4 leg sections and installing the foot plugs is fast and easy—it requires no tools whatsoever. (Works with both carbon and aluminum Peak Design Travel Tripod models. Tripod sold separately.)

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ellie V. ★★★★★

Dropped nearly half a pound off my pack weight without sacrificing stability. The leg locks feel reassuringly solid even on uneven terrain.

Eva J. ★★★★★

The swap to the ultralight legs took me under a minute, and the whole setup feels noticeably lighter on my back without losing any stability. Now I can actually justify carrying a full tripod on longer hikes instead of leaving it behind.

Benjamin X. ★★★★★

I was a bit skeptical at first, but swapping out the center column really does make it feel like a completely different, lighter tripod for hiking. The conversion is surprisingly quick and I love that I can switch back to the standard setup for heavier use around town.
