It is a high quality, light, and very easy to use. I traveled to iceland and montana with it. light and easy to pack

Amazingly compact tripod that is sturdy when set up. For context I have a $20 aluminum tripod which is flimsier and bulkier. It serves a purpose and for the price that $20 tripod is a much better value. But when I travel or want to casually take a tripod with me for long exposures or group photos that I want to be in, nothing beats the compactness and stability of the PD travel tripod. I also use a capture clip on my camera so connecting/disconnecting it to the tripod is a breeze. Highly recommended for travel and ease of carrying along. Only negatives I've found is that the bubble level is not visible when the camera is connected so the tripod needs to be leveled before adding the camera. Not a big deal but I needed to adjust my workflow.

this tripod is incredible. it is ultra portable, rugged, and lightweight. it is also capable of going lower than any other tripod i ever owned for some great low angle shooting

Great travel tripod, not cheap by any means but you get what you pay for! The carbon fiber looks insane light weight but sturdy. The ball head is also sleek and super good

This is the most sturdy tripod i have seen on the market, this works like a professional tripod and yet 1/4 of the weight! The Carbon Fiber is beautiful and the legs, parts, attachments all are high quality and will last a lifetime

I bought this tripod to take long exposure shots with my Fujifilm and Sony cameras. I know the price is super expensive compared to others, but the design and engineering that went into this tripod did not go unnoticed. It is built super well. Just remember that you are putting your expensive setup on a tripod and trusting it not to fall. Don't let the tripod be our achilles heel that causes heartache.

Amazing tripod, I can't see myself using anything different, great build quality, easy to use, easy to mount, portable design and relatively light weigh - extremely highly recommend it

Light weight travel tripod. With proper care, this one should last for years. So far, it’s been perfect in all conditions. Packs down small and is easily stow-able. Sets up in less than a minute too.

Functions and form. Easy to use and sturdy. Very compact and light. Build quality seems high. I'd recommend this, highly, if you are looking for a light travel tripod. The head works seamlessly with the PD plate.

Tripod is a great height, very sturdy, and noce and light. I recently took on trip to North Geogia and it did great.

It is excellent in all ways it describes itself, functional, sturdy and lightweight. After using it for a while I would prefer it had included an arm or some way to better maneuver the camera while mounted. For the price it is a specialized tripod that is meant for travel (with all the pros and cons of that), if that’s what you’re looking for it is a great pickup.

If you’re looking for the ultimate adventure/hiking tripod look no further. Light weight, easy to pack and sets up in seconds

This is not an exaggeration! This is by far the best compact travel tripod out there, so innovative! It fits perfectly in any bag! At 3.68 lbs it’s so lightweight! So many good features! If you are in doubt go watch a YouTube video, cause there are many videos on this tripod! Quality seams to be the #1 concern because it’s up there in quality!

Lightweight and functional- solid construction I use it with my camera but am looking for a telescope adapter for the system

This is a tripod I actually love taking with me everywhere I go. I actually thought it would be much lighter being a carbon fiber but it’s quite heavy I had a cheap Amazon aluminum that felt much lighter than this one however I love this tripod for its size and portability the weight don’t bother me too much this tripod is very pricey but I think it’s a good investment for the on the go people

I wanted to jump on this product's KickStarter but missed out and was happy to see it at Best Buy. This tripod has a great combination of being both compact, light and stable. It is very well thought out. For example, there is a hidden compartment that holds a cell phone holder that you can use to attach your cell phone to the tripod. It's very easy to step up and have yet to find any problems with it after a few uses.

Tripod is awesome. Definitely portable for the size and strength I need to hold my full frame camera. Love everything about it: The built in phone holder; able to rotate the camera to portrait mode or different angles and feel confident that the tripod will hold it; and the ability to mount the camera "upside down" or really low to get those low or up-angle shots. The size when collapsed is perfect for carrying it around as compared to other "full size" equivalents. I can stick it in my water bottle pocket on my backpack. If you are concerned about weight (and that is your top priority), then you'll may want to pony up for the carbon fiber model. You definitely feel the weight difference when you carry both models. Although for me, I don't really mind the weight as I am used to carrying heavy loads when going out. I was ok with dealing with the "heavier" (aluminum) version as I did not want to spend more $$ on the carbon fiber. But, if you got money to burn, I say go for the lighter carbon fiber model. Lighter is always better, but for those that don't really care about weight as much, save your money and get the aluminum model. Cant go wrong with the Peak Design tripods.

The Peak Design Carbon Fiber travel tripod is the best travel tripod, period. Fantastic build quality and very easy to use. There’s a couple of technical bits that require understanding about how they work, but once you understand it you realize how brilliant the design is. Extra light and fits easily in the side of my Manfroto backpack. Recommended.

Super light compact and easy to travel with, definitely would recommend

High quality and compact although it’s not light weight but not heavy either. The biggest con for me is I think it should weight less around 2 lbs vice 2.81 lbs. Another con is the price. Way too expensive.
