Peak Design Travel Tripod Aluminum Black PT-T-BK-1

Conventional tripods force a compromise: either compact enough to carry or stable enough to trust. The Peak Design Travel Tripod Aluminum eliminates that trade-off. Its unique leg design packs down to the diameter of a water bottle—just 39.1 cm long and 7.9 cm in diameter—yet extends to a full working height of 152.4 cm. The integrated ball head with Arca-Swiss compatibility and a 9.1 kg load capacity make it ready for any camera system, while thoughtful details like a built-in phone mount and reversible center column add everyday versatility.

Highlights

• Ultra-compact folded profile: just 39.1 cm long and 7.9 cm in diameter
• Sturdy aluminum construction supports up to 9.1 kg (20 lbs)
• Integrated ball head with Arca-Swiss quick release and bubble level
• Reversible center column with integrated phone mount for low-angle or smartphone shots
• Fast, secure flip-lock leg locks with three angle stops (23°, 55°, 86°)
• Non-slip rubber feet replaceable for long-term durability

In daily use

Set up in seconds: flip the five-section legs to your desired angle, extend to the needed height, and lock with a quick lever. The ball head offers smooth 360° panning and a tilt range from -90° to +45°, making it easy to frame landscapes, portraits, or overhead shots. For macro or low-perspective work, reverse the center column to get as low as 14 cm from the ground. The included standard Arca-Swiss plate attaches securely to your camera, and the 1/4"-20 mounting screw fits virtually any tripod socket.
