The longer I watch this video, the more amazed I become. The number of features is truly mind-blowing. I never expected it would be possible to showcase tripod features for 35 minutes.
I just got the carbon fiber version, which is amazing.... But I just have to take a moment and say that this is one of the best "corporate" product videos ever. So clear, so concise, no cheesy music.... THANK YOU! Your design philosophy and company ethos are first rate. I will continue to purchase your products, and can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Agreed!! I just got mine today and was intimidated about trying to learn it by myself. But the guy at the camera store recommended their TH-cam channel. Great recommendation!!
You can do that with the Universal Head Adaptor shown in this video. Just put the adaptor on the bottom of your fluid head and swamp it in and out in seconds.
Got my Aluminum Travel Tripod yesterday. As a mechanical engineer, I have to say, it's the snazziest (yes, that's a technical term) design I've ever seen or used. I wanted to reiterate that it is ARCA-Swiss compliant, so many of my cages and plates are compatible with it. Cudos.
I work as a Northern lights guide, where good tripod is mandatory. And damn! I am so glad to be owner of this one, when I compare to others. Best tripod ever!
I bought this model at best buy yesterday. What surprised me the most is how light the tripod feels when it is fully extended. I leave a tripod in my car and often vacation with a tabletop tripod. With the option to reduce the weight with this kit, I can now vacation with the peak design with 40% less weight. Thank you for taking the time to build such a wonderful, well thought out tripod. Also, I was not looking forward to using the clip to hold my camera in place. I didn’t realize that with the camera clipped in , I could safely walk long distances with the camera secured to the tripod. I would never do this when my camera was screwed on to a traditional tripod head. People complain about the price but they should really think about how inexpensive this will be after a decade of heavy use and thousands of amazing photographs. If you buy an affordable tripod, and travel or hike with it often, you have to replace them every two to three years anyway.
You guys are freaking unbelievable. The amount of attention to detail is pretty mind-blowing. As a result i started sort of collecting your gear. Very versatile, reliable and easy to use. Kudos to you!
I have owned the aluminum tripod for 5 months and overall it has met my expectations. It is real sturdy in high winds, very easy to set up, carry with my camera in place, and to collapse the legs. If there are a few suggestions I would like to see taken to heart is the locking key for the plate kept falling out. I would like to see it have a Velcro cover so you simply lift the Velcro, grab the key, and then use it. This way when you either carry or turn the tripod upside down to collapse the legs the key doesn’t fall out. Right now, I keep the key in my camera bag so I don’t lose it. One of the lower legs has started slowly collapsing on its own, and so I am interested to see how Peak Design handles my warranty claim. As a workaround, I don’t extend the legs all the way out - just to the third level - and then raise the center stalk. Not ideal because I have to bend down but workable. Finally, buy a 2nd plate especially if you have a large 500 mm lens. I did this because I don’t want to be switching plates in the field, and if you lose that key you are done for the day.
I just ordered two Peak Design Universal Mounts for my two Peak Design Tripods; one in aluminum, the other in titanium. I am going to use the universal mounts to mount a Star Watcher Pro star tracker on each tripod. One will contain a Canon R5 MK II with the Canon's 100-500 mm RF lens. The other will have Canon's 5D MK IV with 100 to 400 mm EF lens. In each case I will be using the tracker with its equatorial wedge, declination bracket and counterweight kit. This looks like as sturdy a travel tripod as I can find. I will be carying this equipment onto an airplane to get to my destination.
This is the simplest and easiest to use tripod I've ever had. The attention to design detail on this tripod is incredible. The DoD or other entity doing tooling should contract with these guys to design equipment or teach them now to do it. These guys and gals are the best.
This video made me realize how well-engineered this is and answered all the questions I had about it. This is not at the top of my list for tripods to replace my starter tripod.
Outstanding instructional video & tripod. My only gripe about PD is the product registration. Why is the serial number on your products placed in an obscure difficult to see location on the product? When I finally spotted it, my 50+ year old eyes can’t read that tiny writing. Worse, the number is at an angle that even made it difficult to photograph with my phone (necessary to blow up the hard to read serial number). I had similar challenges registering my PD backpack. Please improve registration. Everything else is an A+
Wow. It is impressive how much thought has been put into the design of this. I didn’t expect this much, especially on some of the small details. I’m really happy to have backed this and excited to say I got my shipping notification today.
I mean, I understand that a certain amount of engineering went into making this plus they had to use the most expensive material to make it light weight but the price for a freaking tri pod.... Thats crazy. I guess everything else camera related has insane pricing too but still a Tri pod for $300 ????
@NotOfThisWar of course, it's not for everyone. I wouldn't buy this if I was always in a studio, or just transporting gear on a plane. But as someone who hikes mountains, and does exclusively nature photography, this tripod has been worth every penny.
@@SpeedRunningHobo unsure how this person can't fathom the 300 dollar price tag... wait till he learns about the 1000$+ tripods that don't come with a head lol 😆
I had to stop this video 4 times because my brain could not handle so much innovation in such short time *mindblown*. I missed the kickstarter but I am already planning to get it at the photo store of my trust in austria
Just got my aluminum version today--a real step up in tripod quality. Your design succeeds because it is well designed *and* Lawrence is a master of product demonstration.
Thanks for detailed, clear walk-through/instructions. On a months-long travel (pre-pandemic), I made the mistake of packing a lightweight 'travel tripod' ... way too flimsy. So I bought my PD version in Tokyo, aluminum (they didn't have carbon in stock) and it's far sturdier than I'd expect - great features. Thanks!
I continue to find myself purchasing more and more peak gear. You guys have absolutely killed it with this tripod though!! So much thought into the design and as an artist and designer myself I so appreciate it. I can’t explain to the loyalty you inspire by the careful consideration of detail and design. I’m all in! Peak freak ;) lol
Excellent instructional video - thank you! Just got my carbon fiber Travel Tripod and appreciate learning all about it in this great video! Very excited and so impressed with every little detail you thought of! I can't wait to hike with this and be able to do landscapes and low-to-the-ground macro plant photography!
🚨 I was skeptical for a while about buying this tripod thinking that it was an overpriced gimmick. Only for a while and I’ve owned it for well over a year know along with 2 other travel tripods that I already owned. “Why do I need another one”.?? This one has a place that the others don’t and I grab it when “size matters” and in this case being so streamlined and compact. It really does set up in seconds with its level locking system and I thought I was a diehard fan for twist locks. The quality of this tripod can be felt in your hands and I learned something from this video, thank you. Low mode… I’m sitting here right now typing with the removable center column section and the wrench in my hand. I didn’t even know that the legs spread out wide. And moving the camera to a different position on the head in portrait mode if it’s restricted from aiming how you like is a great tip too. This is worth every penny with its excellent build and machine work. It just feels nice and I also learned that the tool holder can move up and down on the leg and I used to have it really high up which was not so convenient to get the wrench out. Oh yeah, you can’t forget about the cell phone holder inside the center column, which I always knew about. I love this thing 👊🏼💝
Buzzing!!! Mine arrives on Sunday. This is the video that added the tripod to me list of wants & needs... good to watch it again as a refresher before it gets delivered!
Fun discovery : the two smaller gaps on the handle of the soft case are large enough to pass most belts through, so it becomes a perfectly functional belt holster (maybe scabbard is the right term?) for the tripod if you don't want to carry more weight on your shoulder. Or you could use it to keep several cans/bottles of your choice of liquid refreshment handy while you wait for the perfect shot with your travel tripod.
I just bought the aluminum version. This video is incredibly helpful and has answered a lot of my questions. Now it's just down to getting used to it through practice in the field.
Apple of Tripods! Steve Jobs would be delighted with the effort PD team put in to design this product! Mind-blowing! Will definitely buy this...Thank You PD! Keep up the Good work!
I know I’m late to the party……but I just ordered my “Black Friday” CF Travel Tripod. I just love your videos and feel like I know exactly how to set it up and use it. Thanks for such an informative review!
So glad that I got my CF one adding to my peak design camera accessories. Even if a bit pricey, absolutely worth it. Great products, great customer service, fair trade, carbon neutral, awesome videos. Thanks Peak Design👌
When I first saw the PD Travel carbon tripod, I was like, yeah yeah yeah... But after seeing this video, I'm simply AMAZED! It's the most innovated/sophisticated tripod I've ever seen. I only wish I could afford it... PD is doing amazing work!
I wish I could like this for each of the times that I have used it. Having the index is really appreciated as I can alway jump right to where I need to go.
I honestly remember seeing the kickstarter for this years ago. I thought it was BS. I now own one and can say that it's the most amazing tripod ever... Just learned about "low mode" in this video, which was a hidden feature that I wasn't aware of. Pretty sweet!
Had to share. I just had a video for Wandrd come up on my feed, and not only are they copying your product; they're copying your video set and presentation style, as well. 😄
I'm a early backer and got mine a couple of weeks ago. It's amazing. It's by far one of the most well thought out product I've ever seen or used. I honestly love it.
This is hands down one of the most Innovative tripods I've ever seen, I love the fact it has a quick release, I love the ball head & lock mechanism, & I love the included built in phone grip & key tool. It's compact & universal. Sure it's quite expensive for the carbon fibre one however if you want good quality products it comes with a price tag. I love. It awesome pice of kit.
I have had my tripod now for a week, and it is absolutely wonderful. The ease of use, this is a workhorse that I am using daily and I am loving it. Thank you everyone who had input in the design of this tripod. I can find nothing I dislike, maybe I would have liked a carrying strap to come with it. I will keep putting it through its paces, to see what I dont like. There must be something right?
Love the tripod. Thank you so much for this great instruction video. I learned a lot about the tripod that I did not know. Great on my trip to Paris and paired well with my Leica Rangefinder.
Wouldn’t be surprised if half of the engineering tear, low key, works for the military. This is one heck of a product. Been using mine for a while, and it’s Solid! Thank you for the video, very informative
Here's a happy new owner :) Holy shhhhh... You guys! The amount of thought that went into this thing is just mind-boggling, and the result is simply a marvelous technical masterpiece! I just want to keep holding it in my hands for no reason 😂 So happy to have supported you through the years, one of the most exciting new(ish) companies in the photography business.
This tripod is so well designed in its versatility and efficiency. It makes me want to quit my job in EMS and become a professional photographer so I can write off the $600 as a work expense.
Thanks for this very detailed video! First let me say, I did not NEED another travel tripod, but I really WANTED this one. Now that I have it and am at my first festival and using it, I thought it was time to watch this, and I learned a lot. Not rocket science, but on the platform in the dark, it really helps! Anyway, it's supporting my 5DIV with sigma 60-600 lens, no problem. It's way more stable feeling than my other travel tripod and for a lower price. I shot 2 sets of video and it was rock solid. I do think I am going to add a video head for more flexibility, but for landscape and astro shooting of stills, the attached head will probably do just fine. I love that the mount integrates with my other PD products. It's not a pro level video tripod, but it really does work nicely for something so small and light. It's nice to know I can convert it to a smaller "backpack" tripod if needed, but I don't imagine I'll ever do that. It's really light to start with and I don't feel bad about the weight in my checked bag. I am thrilled with this product and my other travel tripod is now relegated to second fiddle!
I like the bracket beneath the centre column. The tripod is well designed. I purchased the aluminium version as i cant justify paying so much for a carbon fibre version.
Just got the tripod. It's a great piece. However, the bushings are a HUGE problem. I took my legs off to test the ultralight kit. I placed the legs into the tripod bag. I did not intentionally remove the bushings. When I put the legs back on, one of the bushings was missing. I was able to find it in the tripod bag, but if they come off that easy, then PD should include a 3-pack of these in the kit.

Now, make a travel fluid head that swaps in/out easily with that ball head and you've got a winner!
You can do that with the Universal Head Adaptor shown in this video. Just put the adaptor on the bottom of your fluid head and swamp it in and out in seconds.

Are there awards given for product videos? This video deserves a reward! Very thorough and impressive design.
lol I'm glad they got you doing all the videos for the products. The dry sense of humor is GREAT.
Two years after purchasing the PD tripod, I still believe this is an amazing product. Thanks, Stefano
I work as a Northern lights guide, where good tripod is mandatory. And damn! I am so glad to be owner of this one, when I compare to others. Best tripod ever!
Unboxes: "You get a tripod. Good.. you paid for a tripod". Had to stop zipping coffee lol. Just ordered the capture V3, can't wait.

Me after owning two tripods for MONTHS: "hidden compartment in the bag?!"
Been using the tripod since I got it around Christmas. I love it, my team loves it, my friends love it. Big fan!!
I just bought this without researching it and am blown away after watching this video at the INCREDIBLE level of design in this thing. Holy crap!
Wow. It is impressive how much thought has been put into the design of this. I didn’t expect this much, especially on some of the small details. I’m really happy to have backed this and excited to say I got my shipping notification today.

Seriously, what a fantastic tutorial! So informative. If I wasn't already sold on this tripod, this video definitely would have done it!
I just got my tripod and I'm setting it up now as I type this. This thing is awesome and the box feels luxury.
This travel tripod with accessories are excellent, must-have for travel
Excellent instructional video - thank you! Just got my carbon fiber Travel Tripod and appreciate learning all about it in this great video!

素晴らしい三脚をありがとうございます…
I own this tripod. I hd no idea a tripod could be so great, no idea it could change my life, but this thing is THE BOMB!!!
I just bought this tripod. This combined with my Brompton bike are the two most outstanding pieces of engineering I own. It worths every penny.
Glad you're loving the sticks!!
Thank you, Peak Design. I only knew that you were good at design. I never knew you were good at heart too. Way to go rockstars.

“I have spoken” 😂 Love you guys! So glad I backed this product
haaaaaaa...... Mandolorian.... nice ;-)
Ah cool, great to see the anchor mounts on the tripod.
I can see myself hanging the bag on my belt, which is great to see.

even the whole video is satisfying to watch.
can't wait to get mine!
Love the carbon neautrality. Such an amazing tripod I gotta get one
The way you speak makes me think that you make love with this tripod.
PS: liked the presentation, good luck!
👎🏻
Don't kink shame.
With the amount of bad products that are released by other companies. These guys should be illegal for being so innovative and well thought out.
Had to share. I just had a video for Wandrd come up on my feed, and not only are they copying your product; they're copying your video set and presentation style, as well. 😄
I'm a early backer and got mine a couple of weeks ago. It's amazing. It's by far one of the most well thought out product I've ever seen or used. I honestly love it.
This is hands down one of the most Innovative tripods I've ever seen, I love the fact it has a quick release, I love the ball head & lock mechanism, & I love the included built in phone grip & key tool. It's compact & universal. Sure it's quite expensive for the carbon fibre one however if you want good quality products it comes with a price tag. I love. It awesome pice of kit.
I knew when Tony Northrup panned it I was going to love it. Thank you for designing this excellent innovative product.
Don’t cry because you sank 600 dollars with this
I have had my tripod now for a week, and it is absolutely wonderful. The ease of use, this is a workhorse that I am using daily and I am loving it. Thank you everyone who had input in the design of this tripod. I can find nothing I dislike, maybe I would have liked a carrying strap to come with it. I will keep putting it through its paces, to see what I dont like. There must be something right?
The coolest and most practical high quality tripod!
you guys rock and think of everything. Seriously, such a quality (and funny personalities) company
Absolutely the most well-thought-out products I own!! LOVE my bags & tripod! ✌🖤🔥🔥🔥
Love the tripod. Thank you so much for this great instruction video. I learned a lot about the tripod that I did not know. Great on my trip to Paris and paired well with my Leica Rangefinder.
You guys literally think of everything! You could always rebrand as 'Q'.
The box pushed me towards buying this tripod for sure.
By far the best piece of gear I own!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL PEAK DESIGN FAMILY!!! I LOVE YOU !!!!! LOVE YOUUUUUU!!!!!!!
This is an excellent video presentation and only adds to my confidence in purchasing this tripod. Truly great work!
Excellent product video. The tripod looks amazing and I’m looking forward to getting mine.
Wouldn’t be surprised if half of the engineering tear, low key, works for the military. This is one heck of a product. Been using mine for a while, and it’s Solid! Thank you for the video, very informative
Pretty good demenstraion for how to use peak design tripod! It is better than other first-time users' introduction. I am going to get one from Taiwan.
Best Tripod ever
This is awesome! You made me want to buy this. When I am ready for this, I’m getting one! Thank You!
I wanted one but was unsure. Great video, I am now sold!!!!
This will definitely come in handy since I use the capture clip! What an ecosystem!
This is a laudably thorough and meticulously paced video. Huzah!
“That’s me” I literally laughed out loud 🤣
I got mine today, dude Amazing it holds my Red Komodo Rig 7,7kg With no Problem!!! Just Amazing! Thank you so much!
You guys rock 🤙🏻
Got my tripod a few days back. So happy to finally get to use it. By far the best tripod on the market 👍🏻
Thank you!!!
Absolutely amazing engineering and design. Wow!
I just got mine and its FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! Best investment ever!!!!
These guys at pd are just impressive
I am half way through the video. This is scandalously awesome. Well done guys! I will now find my way to purchase one of these. Awesome!
Here's a happy new owner :) Holy shhhhh... You guys! The amount of thought that went into this thing is just mind-boggling, and the result is simply a marvelous technical masterpiece! I just want to keep holding it in my hands for no reason 😂 So happy to have supported you through the years, one of the most exciting new(ish) companies in the photography business.
You’re basically genius guys👏🏼
Love my tripod so far. Nice work. Also, your package design was on point for this!
I’m so wanting this tripod after only watching this video for a few minutes.
Great product. Bought it, love it!
I ordered mine and can't wait for it to arrive (HK and Covid are delaying it....) Told yah I'd get it!
Very good presentation (couldn't be better). Thank you very much.
Your products are so well designed amd engineered ! Great work guys ! Im blown away by your awareness of usability and detail.
Huge fan of this tripod, undoubtedly a great futuristic smart design!
great instructions, great pre-purchase training
Superb product; excellent demo.
Got my tripod today and my box was destroyed, but thankfully the tripod seems to be like its not harmed. Can't wait to try it out though.
This tripod is so well designed in its versatility and efficiency. It makes me want to quit my job in EMS and become a professional photographer so I can write off the $600 as a work expense.
Really giving Manfrotto a run for their money. I've never wanted a tripod so much!
Thanks for this very detailed video! First let me say, I did not NEED another travel tripod, but I really WANTED this one. Now that I have it and am at my first festival and using it, I thought it was time to watch this, and I learned a lot. Not rocket science, but on the platform in the dark, it really helps! Anyway, it's supporting my 5DIV with sigma 60-600 lens, no problem. It's way more stable feeling than my other travel tripod and for a lower price. I shot 2 sets of video and it was rock solid. I do think I am going to add a video head for more flexibility, but for landscape and astro shooting of stills, the attached head will probably do just fine. I love that the mount integrates with my other PD products. It's not a pro level video tripod, but it really does work nicely for something so small and light. It's nice to know I can convert it to a smaller "backpack" tripod if needed, but I don't imagine I'll ever do that. It's really light to start with and I don't feel bad about the weight in my checked bag. I am thrilled with this product and my other travel tripod is now relegated to second fiddle!
Still love my carbon edition from the kickstarter campaign. Such an ingenious compact tripod :)
I like the bracket beneath the centre column. The tripod is well designed. I purchased the aluminium version as i cant justify paying so much for a carbon fibre version.
In many ways it has resemblance to the ulanzi zero, wich is also very well build!
Just got the tripod. It's a great piece. However, the bushings are a HUGE problem. I took my legs off to test the ultralight kit. I placed the legs into the tripod bag. I did not intentionally remove the bushings. When I put the legs back on, one of the bushings was missing. I was able to find it in the tripod bag, but if they come off that easy, then PD should include a 3-pack of these in the kit.
