Peak Design Travel Carbon Tripod

A professional travel tripod in a truly compact design.



The Travel Tripod is the best portable, operable, and adjustable tripod on the market.



All traditional tripods have had significant drawbacks since time immemorial: large size/volume and unnecessary wasted space due to space-inefficient design. Every part of the Travel Tripod was designed from scratch to create the best portable tripod (when collapsed, it has the diameter of a water bottle) – without negatively impacting its height, stability, or load capacity. But it doesn't stop there. The Travel Tripod can be set up/collapsed significantly faster than conventional tripods and is easier to use. It allows for attaching a mobile phone and has many other thoughtful details for easier operation. Moreover, it's a tripod for life on the go – very durable, 100% serviceable, and with a lifetime Peak Design warranty. The Travel Tripod is an indispensable companion on your travels.
