A pro-level travel tripod in a truly portable form.

For years, traditional tripods have suffered a critical flaw: needless bulk and wasted space, the result of a spatially inefficient design. By redesigning the tripod from the ground up, Peak Design created the world’s most portable travel tripod—one that packs to the diameter of a water bottle—without sacrificing height, stability, or load capacity. 

Travel Tripod is radically faster to setup and take down than traditional tripods and features more ergonomic adjustment points, built-in mobile compatibility, and thoughtful usability details at every corner. Plus, it’s built for life on the road: durable, fully serviceable, and backed by the Peak Design lifetime guarantee.

About Peak Design:

Originally launched last May as a Kickstarter campaign, Peak Design raised $12.1M to create a cross-functional ecosystem of bags, pouches, slings, straps, and clips for modern photographers.
