Review: Excellent Portable Tripod - This is my second Peak Design Travel Tripod. The first one was apparently so nice that an unnamed TSA agent decided it would be better off in his possession than mine. That said, it was such a well designed tripod that I was willing to purchase a replacement immediately, which says a lot considering the price of this thing. It's not cheap, but its worth the cost to me. First, it's important to understand what this thing really is. It's not the most stable tripod in the work. There are much heavier sturdier tripods that are great for studio work, or if you don't mind lugging something four times heavier around with you. However, I have yet to find anything even close to as sturdy as this item is that is as easy to carry with you, or that is so well designed. This extends all the way down to the travel case for the tripod, which is a little padded fabric sleeve that keeps the tripod protected without adding an ounce more weight than necessary, and has handy attachment points for clipping to whatever other gear you have. Collapsed, the tripod is small and maybe more importantly well balanced. Its not overly top heavy or awkward to carry. It fits in water bottle pockets on backpacks (top will extend out, of course, good to have a strap too). Personally I usually clip it to the bottom of whatever pack I'm using using the reinforced loops on the travel pouch. In use the tripod is great. Its sturdy and very adjustable. Stability is greatly enhanced by hanging your backpack or other item from the hook on the center post, but even without that I had no issues and I use some pretty big lenses. Again, there are sturdier tripods, but this is meant for travel and easy carry, and considering how light it is I'm very impressed with the stability. The swivel mount is also well designed, but be aware it's different from a typical ball-mount tripod head. It has a lot of adjustability, and I really like using it once I got comfortable with it. But I'm not sure it's quite as adjustable as my Sirui. It's possible to mount a third party head on this tripod, but that requires the Universal Head Adapter from Peak Design, an additional purchase. Finally, there are a few additional nice touches with this tripod. It has a built-in mobile phone adapter. Yes, I'm guessing most people buying this tripod have "real" cameras to use with it, but it's a nice touch, and there are some uses for being able to easily mount your phone at times. It also has built in storage for the only tool you need for adjustments, a little allen wrench. The head is reversable, so you can actually mount your camera between the legs to get a really low shot. All in all, it's the best portable tripod I've found, and I've looked around a lot.
Review: Lots to love. Essential kit. But sometimes makes me feel like an idiot. - I've been using the carbon fiber model of this tripod for about 2 years now. I got it shortly after crushing the leg of my old tripod in a car door. So I recognize that while this tripod sometimes makes me feel like an idiot, I also just may be an idiot. This tripod is light. I didn't think I'd use the shoulder bag, but I almost always pack it in the bag. It deploys super fast. Flip 3 clips and the legs fly out. Camera gets locked in immediately. It's really great. I've used this tripod in variety of spots and it's proven rugged. Everything from forests and mountains in Colorado, to beaches in Portugal. It's weathered a lot of terrain... and weather. The way the camera clips in feels secure. And it's easy to do, even in the dark. It's felt secure and mostly stable. Everything from a small (but still large) 50mm 1.2 to a fully extended 100-500mm. In high winds I get shake at 500mm when filming video... But that's expected. For photos it's been plenty stable. Ok so here is what I hate. I hate closing the clips to secure the legs. 2 out of 10 times I pinch the skin on my hand. The webbing between my thumb and fore finger. I feel like an idiot closing this thing. Because I know it's going to pinch. But I still rush it and feel like an idiot. The amount of mobility of the ballhead sucks when you go vertical. I know you can spin things around a certain way which gives you a full range of motion, but it sucks figuring it out in the dark when you're trying to grab a photo. The fix for this is to buy an L-Bracket for your camera (or use a long lens with a collar and rotate there). My issue is that Peak Design doesn't sell an L-Bracket. So I bought one from a very good company, but still have to alter it slightly and add another Peak Design clip to it so that it still works (with the shoulder strap latch thing). It sucks that the solution isn't all within the Peak family. It also sucks that the ballhead has that funny little hitch. And lastly, the little wrench/hex key holder. It's that little 2 hex key thing that costs $15. Buy extras. I have lost two already because my thumb sometimes hits the bottom of the holder which ejects the hex key from the holder. I'd knocked it out dozens of times, but lost it once on the floor of my studio, and again on the beach in Portugal. I'm holding out hope that the one in my studio is still findable. But the one in Portugal is a piece of treasure you can find if you go barefoot on Nazaré's North Beach. I have hopes that Peak can refine the design so it's not so easy to eject. It's another element that makes me feel like an idiot. And I want my tripod to comfort me and tell me I'm smart. Capable. Not a loser (of hex wrenches). Lastly the phone holder attachment is 100% unnecessary. But I'm still happy it's there. I've used it a grand total of 3 times. And when I did it was a handy solution.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is this made?**
A: Made in China

**Q: Is the aluminium version any less stable or flexible?  I'm not a malnutritioned child, so I'm not concerned with the 3/4 pound weight difference.**
A: I own the carbon-fiber one and like it a lot. Although I have experience with the aluminum version, I cannot believe that it would be less stable. I think the only significant factor is weight.

**Q: How sturdy is this tripod? I do astrophotography and shoot planets with large lens and need a sturdy lens. Can this handle that?**
A: It’s a sturdy tripod...but I wouldn’t use it for heavy lens. Even my 70-200 feels heavy on it. Forget about even longer telephoto zooms. While I would use it for portraits on location (and which is what I do mostly), I use primes like my Sony 135 and 85 GM. For that it’s fine. But I feel the tripod vibrates too much for long exposures (which I noticed when I did some seascapes the last two weeks). So no: I wouldn’t suggest it for astro or LE photography. I had wind and the images came out too soft for anything over 5 s.  But for other things, this tripod is a dream. Compared to my Manfrotto BeFree CF tripod, this one is a pleasure to carry around. Folds very tightly and fits inside my camera backpack with my other gear very well. Hope that helps.

**Q: Can this swivel 360 degree rotation and also shot at different angles?**
A: Yea, all the above.. the center shaft is extendable for additional height, and the base that the camera sits on is on a ball allow your camera 360 movement as well as landscap/portrait positions.. we love it.. been all around the world with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love it!
*by B***R on September 22, 2020*

So much neato stuff built into this travel tripod! I travel by motorcycle on camping/photography trips. Have another brand of travel tripod that I've used for several years. But when I saw this tripod and saw how small it is, I just had to pull the trigger and buy it for my next motorcycle camping photography trip. I just returned from the trip. I gotta tell you, this is the epitome of travel tripods. It really is only about 3-1/2" diameter and maybe 15" long. It packs in my saddlebag instead of having to be strapped to the motorcycle. And it's so easy to deploy! I can have it up with camera or spotting scope attached in just a minute. The lever-type binders for the legs make it so easy and quick. I deployed it several times where I might have hesitated or not deployed at all with my other tripod. The tripod is stable enough that I was able to train my 40X spotting scope on Saturn one evening, clearly seeing the rings and the space between the planet and rings. Of course, Saturn moved across the field of view with Earth rotation and without a little cross-hair spotting scope for the big one, it wasn't easy to keep Saturn centered. But that isn't because of the tripod. For wildlife viewing and photography, it was wonderful Who'd have thought about putting an iPhone mount in the center stem? It's there! Didn't need to buy one! The little tool kit kept falling out until I learned that it has a detent if I turn it the right direction before stowing. Then, it's firmly attached. I may buy some of the accessories that Peak Design offers. Gotta sell my other carbon fiber travel tripod first.
