I doubted the Peak Design Travel Tripod when it first arrived but it quickly showed its mettle. The head is a bit quirky and takes some getting used to, but it's very compact and it locks the camera in place securely. And while the lower sections of the l...

Abstract: Although image stabilization technology has come along in leaps and bounds over the past few years, there are few things you can do to improve your low-light or telephoto images more than mounting your camera on a tripod. But many tripods are heavy and bu...

There are cheaper travel tripods than this, and taller ones too, but nothing that offers this performance, this design cleverness, and yet folds down into such a neat, compact and portable package...

Very narrow when packed away,Strong centre column,Hidden smartphone holder,
Relatively short, Hex key is annoying, Aluminium version is heavier,
The Peak Design Travel Tripod is really expensive. It's the neatest travel tripod around, no doubt about that, and it's also one of the lightest. The aluminium version has a high-end build, a very neat and compact design, and some excellent unexpected fea...
Unique leg profile keeps it compact, Good for low-level shooting, Supports Arca-Swiss plates, Well engineered plate locking mechanism, Built-in phone mount
The head isn't suitable for panning or panoramas, Centre column has to be raised to tilt the ball head, Rather expensive
