Designed by Peter Dring together with San Francisco-based Peak Design, the new aluminum and carbon fiber Travel Tripod is the most compact and easy-to-setup tripod for professionals and first-time tripod owners alike.
Peak Design’s goal was to eliminate the dead space within a tripod, an ever-present inefficiency that often doubles or triples the effective diameter of a packed tripod.
For years, traditional tripods have suffered from needless bulk and wasted space.
Peak Design spent four years redesigning the tripod from the ground up, creating a travel tripod that packs down to the diameter of a water bottle—without compromising height, stability, or features.
As a result, Dring and his design team reworked Travel Tripod’s legs and center column to nest perfectly together in order to achieve a total packed diameter of just 3.125 inches—roughly the diameter of a water bottle.
The result is a tripod that deploys to 60 inches tall while taking up less than half the volume of its competitors.

The Travel Tripod eliminates bulky and confusing knobs with a single adjustment ring for simple and smooth 360-degree adjustment.
Moreover, the Travel Tripod’s ball head measures just 3.125 inches in diameter, keeping it aligned with the packed profile of the tripod’s legs for exceptionally compact carry.
Radically faster to setup and takedown, the new tripod features ergonomic adjustment points, built-in mobile compatibility, and thoughtful details at every turn.
Plus, it’s built for life on the road: durable, 100% serviceable, and backed by the Peak Design
lifetime guarantee.
Tripod includes legs, ball head, protective soft case, ARCA-compatible Standard Plate, mobile mount, hex tool with carrying clip, and bushing removal tool for maintenance.
