      jaypob Given that cars go all the way up to millions of dollars, I think I’ll ask $250,000 for my VW. Seems mid priced when you look at it that way. Thanks. ?

      Are you a pro? Can you or should I say are you willing to pay that much for a tripod?

      Oh it’s mid priced, in that case I’ll buy two!

      It’s mid level price, go look up to miller, sachtler, vinten or even gitzo for comparison.

      The point is the price is stupid high. I have a manfroto  south of $250 that does the same thing, weight has never been an issue and it’s not now. Keep it

    I hate how these kinds of videos are always shown with Sony products. What about us Lumix users? Show us some love!

      MEDiAgamer Sorry, the world is switching to Sony.

      MEDiAgamer Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can achieve the unachievable photographic perfection. Buy a Sony and discover a new world of opportunities. Plus, we have cookies.

      Ever considered how the Sony owners are probably missing out on the many features Lumix and Olympus owners enjoy?

    Good design for photos! How do you use it for video in the YouTube era… like shooting a panning shot with it?

      You can’t unless you put a fluid mount. Or you put a gimbal which is another 500 bucks hahaha

    3 legged thing is even smaller. Pricing is tiered. This is small! I even use it when I don’t travel. I’m using Sony A6500 and a 70-300 on this. Probably not best with my Nikon D810, but it never travels.

    Over priced, YES. There is so many people out there who likes to show off so it going to sell. Who wants to be a looser, right?? 🙂

      When I am in Darjeerling, India, loaded with my traveler’s checks, I want all the filthy peasants to notice my wonderful $600 tripod.

  9. Henry Chavez

    May 22, 2019 at 10:40 pm

    Omg!!! ? I so need to get this tripod, it’s something I’ve never seen before in my life.. OH HELL NO!!! NO Thanks. I mean really 600 dollars for a tripod that a inexpensive tripod already does with a good head on it! And they don’t give you pegs for landscape or harsh terrains where you need to spike the tripod in the ground! A bubble that gets covered when you put a camera on!! And 600 dollars, your title should have been “peak designs crushed our wallets” the only thing I see is that it’s very compact, but beyond that, not gonna get this sucker to buy this tripod, I’ll leave it to the Richie riches out there in the world or now a dayz, those YouTube groupies that jump when there gold by there favorite You tubers..

    I’d buy…..for 200 dollars. Maybe 250 at most

      $599? You mean $600? I rely on B&H and get Manfrotto stuff. Now, THAT’s a good price point. Currently happy with my 190CX3 and 488RC2 carbon setup. Paid about $300.00 few years back. Also turned of by his Darjeerling reference, and the San Francisco snobbery.

      Me too.I think because of the quantity they make .If there are huge demands for this that will save the cost of making it .just like the fancy cars.

    When the tripod itself costs more than my camera ?

    In all honesty it looks really really flimsy, and I know it’s a travel tripod but still…Price might be justified if it is sturdy as a rock and holds up well over time. Flip locks over twist lock is more of a personal preference, but when it comes to cleaning I think twist locks are easier. The one ring ballhead does nog offer you any pano capabilities which straight out sucks…also nog removable head. It just feels more like a gadget than a real innovation.

    There are some Major Flaws.
    1. Price
    2. Price
    3. Price
    4. The Level Bubble is 100% Blocked when Camera is Attached.
    5. Jason Vong, On His Video said he would be worried if you placed a full sized Dslr and 400mm or 500mm on this Tripod.

    • Eson Zhao

      June 22, 2019 at 3:05 am

      this tripod isn’t designed for that though, it’s designed for travellers who want a smaller, lighter backpack. You wouldn’t bring a 400mm with you going camping, would you?

    • First First

      June 30, 2019 at 10:14 pm

      the level bubble 100% blocked !?
      you can change the direction sweetheart ,you clearly take that from a another video 🙂

    “Come in at sort of a mid/low-mid price point range that is accessible to people who aren’t just flush with cash.” Is this fraudulent marketing or PD engineers are so overpaid that they lost sense of “price ranges”?

  26. Splashymcsplashface

    I’d rather a cheaper solid heavier tripod for travelling, something I could shrug my shoulders at whilst watching it descend a waterfall or drop on the road and get totalled by a truck.

    May 24, 2019 at 4:20 am

    I call bullshit. I have a tripod flashlight that I bought 12+ years ago that has the same legs. These types of legs have existed for a long time. Kudos to peak design though for being the first to apply it into a camera tripod. Lose the lightning struck me and I had an idea story.

    What about the portrait mode? How do I mount my L bracketed camera on this?

  29. Tapan Trivedi

    May 24, 2019 at 5:38 pm

    Great innovation but the price is not right. I’d grab my Manfrotto Befree CF any day over this.

    Not even for 200 $. Really useless – maybe for my iPhone…

    Why would I buy a tripod that costs as much as a nice new lens or a good used camera body? I don’t like carrying a tripod when I travel anyway, I like a monopod. I bought my travel monopod for less than $125 with a nice case and strap. No to another Peak Design overpriced accessory.

    you were there in India sitting at a Cafe shop and this idea busted. Great product and im backing it. But, the India story is cliche.

    • Peter Dering

      June 22, 2019 at 5:04 am

      hey…i don’t know what to tell you…that’s how it happened.

    • Peter Dering

      June 22, 2019 at 5:06 am

      also…aren’t cliche’s things that happen all the time? I can’t think of any other time that someone has sat at a cafe in darjeeling and thought of a tripod with no negative space.

    Sadly not a good choice for panos
