The Peak Designs team really did listen to photographers looking for a multi-purpose travel tripod. As a photographer who spends time hiking for picture taking opportunities, I have looked for the perfect travel tripod over the last decade. Surveying my current collection, including a Manfrotto MKC3-H01 travel tripod (now, MKCOMPACTACN-BK, with different proprietary hybrid head “joystick” grip ball head, and a different plate arrangement), a Velbon carbon fiber 630 with a Manfrotto 498 RC2 head, a Velbon DF-10ML (closely related to the EX Macro 3-section), and a small Neewer CK-30 compact tripod purchased for the Arca plate and ability for ground level macros.
The PD aluminum tripod is not the lightest among them, and it is expensive --but it is one of the most thoughtful, compact, well-constructed, stable, and confidence inspiring tripods, with an advantage “in the field”.
Features I like.
Compact. In its carry state, a little taller than the size of a standard Nalgene water bottle.
The legs, connection pieces, and clasps. I prefer the flip-out clasps for leg deployment over the screw types. For me, there is less fumbling around trying to find release and locking positions. The height is great, along with being able to position close to the ground.
The ball head works well for me. The tightening mech on the ball works as expected, even with a Sony a7r-IV with a heavy Sony 200-600mm zoom. Positioning is easy and can be straight up or down. The Peak Design Capture clip uses the same Arca mount plate so you can easily go from carrying to tripod mount with no fumbling to change the mount plate. There is a locking mechanism that prevents accidental release of the plate.
Tools attached to the tripod are a thoughtful addition. The carry bag is durable and apparently water proof.
Things I don’t like.
Price. Oh, the price is high for sure, even higher if you pick the lower weight carbon fiber version.
Weight. It is not as light as my Manfrotto compact tripod, but not overly so. With anything like this, lower weight is always something I want.
Is this tripod worth it? For those inclined to save money and look for a similar feature set, albeit not as complete? The Manfrotto travel tripod-- if you can find a head version that works for you (read through the comments on the different versions). IF Manfrotto had an Arca plate version, it would be a no brainer – significantly lower cost, lower weight, with just enough features, it would be a great choice.
That said, I am keeping the Peak Designs tripod! For me, it is nearly perfect. If you can afford spending over $350 for a tripod, I do not think you would be disappointed.
What it is is a portable, sturdy, thoughtfully-designed system using an incredibly convenient quick release system usable with other Peak Design products and any other 3rd party accessories that use the same rail based mount. It's quick to set up, has a delightfully easy to use ball mount allowing for free rotation in all three directions, supports flipping the center column upside-down to suspend a camera underneath, and includes a small hard tool pocket that snaps into one of the legs, perfect for quickly swapping out mounts (not necessary if you are using a mount that uses a thumb screw, just nice to have). I'd like a level and knobs for fine adjustments but honestly, it's good enough. And feels good to use!
I'm confident I'll have this thing for quite a while. Great to travel with, easy to set up, great build quality. Maybe just a skosh pricey.
My friend is a big peak design fan, this is on his wish list. I thought I would try it. I did not go for the carbon fiber because of the price, I hope the vibration does not come back and bite me. I figure most of my landscape shots will be away from people and traffic, so I should be fine. A little extra weight is bad for my back but good for image stabilization.
1. The build. This is a rock solid, heavy duty tripod. A little heavier than most travel tripod I owned. The positive is the stability. The joints are very stable. The camera latch on to the top securely. No worries. Of course all of you know by now it folds into size of a large water bottle.
2. The user experience. This is where peak design shines. It is all about convenient design. Popping the leges out are quick. Twist to unlock, the camera pop in, twist to lock, a very easy and secure operation, the best I have used. Twist to raise the center column. Another twist to adjust the ball head. A spring loaded push lever right on the leg to change angle of the legs. There is a build in storage for a two headed tool, which is mostly used to screw in the plate.
3. Of course the base plate works with the capture clip, if you bought into the peak design eco system.
4. The packaging is surprisingly premium. A beautiful cardboard box with elastic latch. Then a travel bag made of the good peak design material stuff. I will probably never use them but it’s good they don’t cut corners on quality.
Top reviews from other countries
Leggero, veloce da aprire e chiudere, ultra compatto, super stabile e con la capacità di smontare la colonna centrale per avere angoli raso terra.
Il prezzo può sembrare esorbitante, ma la costruzione, il design e i materiali giustificano fino all'ultimo centesimo.
Pros
Exceptionally well thought out design details.
Innovation as standard.
For a compact, travel tripod, it’s sturdy enough.
A pleasure to use.
Cons
Just one minor niggle and not at all the fault of the product. If I had bought the carbon version, it might’ve been a touch more comfortable to carry in cold weather - but that’s a lot of extra cash to part with to address a very minor niggle.
The model I bought is aluminium and so is cold to the touch. I really felt that when hiking in the Derbyshire Dales a few weeks ago, with temperatures at C. -10.
Conclusion
I’ve begun to use a tripod more often when I’m out and about in the woodlands and forests.
For me, this opens up the new possibilities, amongst them, using HiRES mode on my S5 to create 96MB files and focus stacking.
Much improved process and workflow. The integrated head is a marvel, I love it! (I usually ditch the tripod and go hand-held as my other tripods are cumbersome).
