The Peak Design Aluminium Travel Tripod reduces folded volume thanks to legs that store closer together than traditional tripods. When folded, the tripod is roughly as thick as a water bottle. Boasting impressive specs, the tripod height adjusts from 14cm to 152cm, folds down to only 40cm, holds up to 9kgs, and is constructed from aluminium. For fast deployment, the five-section aluminium leg cams can be released at the same time. Ground-level shots are quickly captured by simply reversing the centre column. Epitomizing the expression less is more, is an impressive ergonomic ball head that replaces cumbersome knobs and levers with space-saving locking and adjustment rings. The rings facilitate omnidirectional movements that are locked in place with a simple twist. Crowning the ball head is a quick-release system compatible with Peak Design standard plates, and most Arca-type plates. Arca-type L-brackets can be attached by removing the safety pin inside the clamp. Under the centre column is a hook for attaching a stabilizing weight.
