The Shape That Changed Tripods — Now Reinforced for Pros

When Peak Design first unveiled their radically reimagined Travel Tripod, they didn’t just build a smaller tripod—they rethought its shape entirely. By eliminating wasted space between the legs and the center column, they created something photographers hadn’t seen before: a truly compact, full-featured tripod that fit in a water bottle pocket.

Now, they’ve taken that concept to the next level.

With the launch of their new Pro Tripod (now live on Kickstarter), Peak Design has doubled down on the shape-shifting innovation that started it all—this time with a professional audience in mind.

Same Revolutionary Shape, Upgraded for the Field

The defining feature of the original was its nested architecture—the way the legs hugged the center column in a tightly packed triangle rather than surrounding empty space. That innovation is back, but this time reinforced with more durable materials, refined ergonomics, and a seriously beefed-up weight capacity.

While traditional tripods remain bulky by design, the Pro Tripod stays true to Peak’s original form factor—retaining the same slim, bottle-sized silhouette—but now with performance that satisfies full-frame shooters, videographers, and hybrid creators alike.

Built for Real-World Demands

The Pro Tripod’s engineering speaks directly to those who use their gear daily:

• Stronger carbon or aluminum construction
• Much more load capacity
• More stable under long lenses and video heads
• Improved weather sealing and hardware
• Smoother, more precise movement controls

All of it still folds down into that iconic low-profile shape.

Back to the Future

Peak Design didn’t just refine a tripod—they refined their own reinvention. And the result is something that feels just as groundbreaking as the original. If you’ve ever struggled with tripods that are either too clunky or too flimsy, this new shape-shifted Pro Tripod may be exactly what your kit has been missing.
