Travel-Friendly Photography Mounts

The Peak Design Travel Tripod Has an Ultra-Compact Design Frame

The Peak Design Travel Tripod is a compact new solution for photographers that will enable them to enjoy the benefits of a full-size tripod without the need for all the associated heft. Designed over the course of four years, the tripod is completely devoid of dead space to ensure all of the components fit well into one another and help to make it as backpack friendly as possible. The unit is optimized for full-frame DSLR cameras and telephoto lenses, which will come as welcome news to professional photographers seeking a better way to capture shots when in the field.
