Peak Design Travel Tripod Carbon Fiber 5-Section with Ball Head

The Peak Design Travel Tripod redefines portability without sacrificing stability. Unlike conventional travel tripods that compromise on load capacity or packed size, this carbon fiber model delivers an impressive 9.1 kg payload in a package that folds down to just 39.4 cm and 8.3 cm in diameter—comparable to a water bottle. Its 5-section legs with lever cam locks deploy in seconds, while the integrated ball head and Arca-Swiss compatible plate ensure seamless camera mounting. The removable, reversible center column includes a hidden phone mount, making it a versatile tool for both DSLR and smartphone photographers.

In daily use

Setting up the tripod is intuitive: flip the lever locks, extend the five leg sections to your desired height, and lock them in place. The maximum height with center column extended reaches 152.4 cm, while keeping the column down gives a stable 130.2 cm. For low-angle photography, remove the center column and reverse it to achieve a minimum height of just 14 cm. The integrated phone mount slides out from the center column, letting you switch between camera and smartphone without extra accessories. The ball head offers smooth pan and tilt, and the included Arca-Swiss plate attaches securely to your camera. A built-in spirit level helps you keep horizons straight, and the hex wrench stored in the tripod allows for on-the-go adjustments.
