I own the Peak Design Travel Tripod and have trekked hundreds of kilometers with it over the last couple of years. I do a lot of HDR photography so even with IS a tripod is an absolute must. If you are traveling internationally, flying, going through airports, then taking trains and buses and finally walking for weeks, day after day, carrying everything you need to survive on your back - plus your photo gear - the P-D is the only one. I looked at all of those other tripods, not even seriously considered. When my OMD EM-5 and P-D tripod isn't nestled in my arm as I'm walking like a hunter carries his rifle, the tripod is tucked into the water bottle pouch of my backpack while the Olympus is clipped to a shoulder strap with OpTech Reporter camera backpack straps. Works brilliantly. You should try it. The one draw back, and it is a drawback, with the Peak Design Travel Tripod is that because of the unique design of its integrated ball-head, when the camera is pointed steeply up or down you will find that you can become 'gimbal locked' in certain orientations and won't be able to point your camera where you want and keep it level horizontally. The solution is to install a panning base, but it's a 180-200g weight penalty. I pay the penalty because all of the other travel tripods are still non-starters in my opinion. As for speed of deployment, for the P-D the fastest documented KZitem time is about ten seconds; however, with this one hack that hardly even matters: keep your camera attached to your tripod, extend two, three, or even four sections but with the legs folded together, then just walk around with your camera cradled in the crook of your elbow and the legs held in your hand or hands exactly like a hunter would hold his shotgun - it will *always* be ready. I take as many photos with my phone as with my camera so when I want to take a photo with my phone, or do anything else where I need two hands, I just fold out the legs and set the camera down, then when I'm done pick the camera up, refold the legs and continue on. If you're walking around town taking mostly handhelds, fold the tripod up and stick it back in the water bottle pouch on your photo bag. This all might seem very weird to you, after one day you'll wonder why you haven't always done it like this. You'll also find that you actually use your tripod a whole lot more rather than just carrying around dead weight.

The PD has a split centre column now it's launched. It's also aluminium now even in the carbon fibre, which affects stability positively, not negatively. They said they don't have a D-ring plate screw because they don't believe it offers enough torque for the level of security they want given that their plates are the point of connection to the camera. Also at launch, there's an hex key tool attached to one of the legs. Just in case that's useful to anyone reading.

The Peak Design one is so much smaller than the others when folded - it really makes the case as a "travel" tripod. The others aren't too much smaller than a "normal" tripod. It's stable enough for most work other than really long/heavy set ups when you should probably be using a full-sized tripod anyway. It's the obvious choice for a travel option of these four.

This month I discovered Peak design and just took delivery of the tripod. I have a hack that helps me use my original ball head and even my Gimbal while giving me a little more height and smooth pano ability. Using a 1/4-20 female to 3/8-16 male adapter ($1.50 from Amazon) on top of a PD plate ($19.95 from PD) to then mount the heads. These then quickly and easily mount and dismount on the original mounting plate. More options, very adaptable, smooth pano, more height while maintaining the original benefits including that unique ball head and compactness. (Pictures available)

We have two of the Sirui, but with a much better ball head from AS. It works very well and of the 10+ carbon tripods we have these are our go-to for actually having a tripod in our backpacks. That being said, we have two Peak carbon tripods on order and are looking forward to them as we "think" we will always carry them in our packs even if we may not necessarily need them. The Sirui is a judgment call and we carry them about 50% of the time and many times we kick ourselves for leaving them behind. As with any camera gear, the best one is the one you have with you. Great video!

I agree with Robert, I would assume that most can't afford that much for a tripod. I purchased a carbon fiber Bonfoto for under $125 and it has the same or better features than some of what you featured in this video. It has all metal parts, no plastic knobs, has a great carry case, etc. I'm not sure if you have already, but it would be great to have a video comparing tripods under $150. They will probably be knockoff names, but not everyone cares what brand name is on the leg, they just want something sturdy. That being said, you guys did a great job with this video and it was very interesting to see the tests and results. Let's see a budget version soon! Thank you for the great content you provide!

Also note that they actually have videos on use, maintenance, and repair of the tripod. While mentioning extras, the PDTT also comes with a phone mount that stores in the center column. I like the convenience of the ball head, but it is all or nothing. You cannot lock one axis and only work the others.

David Medina So, spending less that 500 or 1000 on a tripod is skimping? That’s fine if you make enough to see that kind of money as small change, but most people are not that fortunate. Indeed even 200 is a lot if you have limited disposable income. Photography is becoming a rich person’s hobby again as it was before film cameras became progressively more affordable post WW2. I know I can’t drop 3500 on a FF body, let alone lenses for them. Either I buy ‘cheap’ or I don’t buy at all. It’s no wonder camera sales are plummeting, which becomes a vicious circle as manufacturers raise prices to try to stay profitable, and so sales fall further. Looking at their prices tripod sales must be falling fast too, not least as ever improving IBIS and IOS lessen the need for them, so you might question the need for a tripod at all on your trip of a lifetime...assuming you can afford such a trip.

Great review. Love your innovative way to test vibration damping! I’ve been using a Sirui with the same ball head and its a great sturdy and reliable tripod. However, I travel a lot and its a bit bulky so I need something compact but effective. I’m waiting on my Pedeeteetee to arrive any day now and I’ll do my own comparison. I’ll check if we have a dampening testing tool at home I can use!! By the way, I think you must have used a preproduction version of the PD tripod, they now have a tool that attaches to the tripod so that should help address the point you made about losing it. Also, PD have a life time warranty so anything breaks from wear and tear you would hope they will replace it for the life off the product. Love your work!

I have an earlier version of the Gitzo that includes the bottom hook and I paired it with a Really Right Stuff ball head. So far, no problems at all with this setup but it was expensive. This setup can take some punishment (not to say the others can't) and with a weight attached at the bottom, it is very stable supporting a Nikon D500 and a 200-500 F5.6 lens. One of the reasons I went with this tripod is that I wanted to avoid buying a tripod and then buying a tripod again when I realize that the cheap one is cheap for a reason (with thanks to Thom Hogan for making this clear). Realistically, I am not going to risk dropping a camera and lens setup that is worth thousands of dollars because I wanted to save a few hundred dollars. From what I see in this review though, I don't think any gear would be at risk of damage because it fell due to a faulty tripod and ball head.

I'm not sure how useful the vibration test is. Modeling for actual use cases such as wind, trigger push ...etc are hard, I agree. But the one thing that is common with all of these is that the vibration is not continuous and uniform - it dampens after a while. How quickly a tripod dampens those disturbances is important in addition to how it fares to those disturbances in the first place. say a shot taken as you get a lateral gust of wind, vs a shot taken 3 seconds later.

Just a quick note for whoever reads this. The Gitzo GT1545T's weight shown at 5:32 *does not* account for the ballhead. Gitzo officially rates the GT1545 kit (with the ballhead) at 1.45kg (3.2 lbs). The weight given for the rest accounts for the ballhead as these are usually sold in kits. So, the PDTT *is* actually the lightest of the bunch when the heads are accounted for.

I actually think there are some better and more interesting options from SIRUI, in terms of price as well as construction. There is the Sirui AM-284 and AM-254 . Both are very light and compact and sturdy. The only deficit is, that they don't have an integrated center collum, which is why they are so small and light, you have to screw it on (and buy it separately though the combination is still cheaper than the model you showed here), but otherwise, they are very interesting. If i personally spend that amount of cash on a tripod, i wouldn't compromise on the construction, build quality or the size. Being able to move the ball head even tightened down is a nogo for me, for a tripod that costs that much. I personally bought a Rollei Beta Mark ii, which definitely does not fit into the travel category (at least for most people), but it costs less than most of the tripods in this comparison and is superior in every category except size and weight. And it is not that much heavier at 2.2kg. Especially when you consider that it can carry 25kg (which is way more than i need, but i like that it is this sturdy) and that is 1.8m high (fully extended). To me all of the Tripods are just to expensive for what they can do.

I have to give a shout out to Three Legged Thing and not just because they are British. Three Legged Thing have come a long way from their original tripods, they are well made and if you do have an issue, the customer support is great. The ball heads have also improved a lot. A good video, might be comparing different heads, what the advantage and disadvantages are of different types of head. Also do you need an expensive head like a FLM, Arca Swiss, Really Right Stuff, Acratech and Novoflex (other brands are available). Also do people need the biggest head ball head or is a medium or even small one good enough.

I have my 3LT Eric for 7 years and it has served me very well. It isn't perfect and I had a couple of issues, with 1 of the legs falling off and also the centre column needing replacing but 3LT have a 5 year warranty and fixed the issues. The big thing with the early 3LT tripods is you have to spend some time on maintenance with them. When the leg went, it was an internal screw that undid but now I know it can be an issue, it is easily checked. The one thing I replaced was the original ball head (where I wen into complete overkill with buying Novoflex classic ball 5 II (The 3 would have been more practical)). The old 3LT Airhed (not sure if 1 or 2) wasn't the best design and I had a few issues. From my experience with 3LT more recently, their newer tripods are much better build, with a more practical head and of course, they are still relatively cheap.

I've heard that in order to tilt the Peak Design head, you have to take of the camera first. Also, to turn it around, you have to raise the head a bit high out above the shoulders.

Way back in the 90's Cullman had a travel tripod that folded flat and fit perfectly in a carry-on. I couldn't say much else positive about it though. I'd be interested in how these tripods performed against the old all metal Gitzo tripods. I worked in/managed pro camera stores in Orange County for a total of 22 years and those big heavy Gitzos were the most rock solid tripods I ever tested. The biggest models are probably still in demand for studio work. Even the more common workhorse ones seemed to nullify vibrations. I still have my old Star-D polished aluminum tripod from 1974 that still gets praised for it's looks. It's solid too. My few years more modern Bogen (Manfrotto) 8221 with its Markins medium ball head gets all the use today and it is going strong and still in great looking shape. That has been with me traipsing through the Newport Back Bay, Mono Lake, Panum Crater, Dana Point tide pools, and there's no sign of rust and very little wear.

regarding that speed setup test... you do realize that the PD with its levers instead of rings was designed specifically so that you could extend all 3 legs in parallel and unlock/lock them in one fluid motion, instead of going piece (leg/section/ring) by piece? IMO that would shave off a few more seconds on this one as compared to the others... just saying.

I bought a Artcise C85C two months ago, a carbon tripod. With legs of 32 mm in diameter and an excellent rigid triple-joint, it is more sturdy then the four tested here. So far i tested it in heavy winds, taking night pics with manual shutter around 40 and up to 60 seconds without remote control and with the feet in a small but fast flowing water: nothing wrong to see in the pics. I know that Gitzo is better as regards to the speed of setting up the legs and tighten them, these ones take a little more. I would like to see this one tested next to the tested here. Its a 176 cm high (190 at eye level) around 2,5 pounds and at travel size. Its a chinese newcomer but incredible quality (bought more things by now, all are like that)in a way we forgot how it looked like in Europe. Sold in Amazon for too high prices (same level as manfrotto) but this one goes for 140 euro on Aliexpress.

Excellent review, short and to the point. (as usual, not a lot of BS. Great to see your kids!) I personlally own a Surui tripod, not the model you tested. It has been reliable in the field in the last couple of years. I shoot M4/3rds, but with long lenses. I find that the Surui tripods are the best value for the $. Mine has clips to lock the carbon fibre legs. Regardless, I find it to be a quick tripod to set up and use,. Yes, as you said, you have to unfold it to pack it away. The best reason I enjoyed your review is for one main reason. All photographers need and use tripods. We always want to buy the lowest cost tripod, but we really want the best value for the dollar. If you pay up front for the best tripod you feel is best for you, you cannot look back and say, I wish I purchased the other one. You have shown us lots of choices. Good Job!

"BUT WAIT....There's more!" with the sirui the column splits for a reason, the long section is reversed and acts as an extension piece to the mono-pod mode, allowing you to get the small camera over your head for event photography etc ( adds 2' to the mono-pod height).

Hey Chris, yes, I can see that these are quality tripods, however, I found a Chinese brand called Leofoto, that makes an Amazing travel tripod, AND it includes a fantastic ball head with one feature that I've not found INCLUDED on any other ball head...namely, a panoramic head! This allows the single ball head to function as a pano head, plus, if you swing it into the notch, turns the pano head into a "poor man's " gimbal head! (Max payload = 22 lbs.) Also, another feature of this tripod/head combo, is that the knobs/controls on the ball head each have a different shape and texture (ALL metal, CNC aluminum)! Simply ingenious design, because it eliminates the possibility of inadvertently loosening the wrong knob!! Why ALL ball head manufacturers don't do this is beyond me...actually, probably because of design and manufacture costs! In any case, this Leofoto LN-254CT Tripod is awesome...10X carbon fiber legs, included quality metal spikes (with rubber gaskets), included handy carabiner allen tool, and a very nice carrying case. Well worth $380, IMHO. P.S. - Why even demo a tripod with center column fully extended? We all know that is the very LEAST STABLE position, and should Never be used in that configuration, if image sharpness and detail is your main priority. Thanks!

Though you have mentioned most of the details...I believe few things are missed specifically for Peak Design Tripod. 1. Head: The is not the proper one so not directly comparable to others, yes we can get a standard base if we want to use a proper ball head but then the folded height is increased! 2. Leg Sections: 5 Sections vs 4 section (personally I believe this is not direct comparison if you want to look at folded length) 3. Head Practicality: Pead Design ball head has some limitations like if you are using a camera in vertical position and if you try to pan up and down you are limited to very little movement. 4. Shooting Video: Not much to say but good luck with panning! 5. Leg Positions: There are only 2 leg position settings available with peak design vs 3 on others! 6. Going Flat on the Ground: Again you need Hex keys to do this simple thing, not at all practical. (This is what I faced when I got to use this tripod for 1 day and the price they are asking it's a BIG NO!) Meanwhile if possible please try to review this tripod again compared to Leofoto LS-255C+LH-30 Many people would like to see this one. Here's the link to Leofoto Tripod : leofoto.com/products_detail.php?id=350

I got 2 BeFree aluminum tripods, light and compact enough for me, and one more heavy duty from MT190XPRO series, all from Manfrotto, all for the price of 1 carbon Peak Design. And I think it's more important to have a tripod you can afford and take with you, than looking at one that you would take everywhere, but can't afford. My decision was to get a versatility yet still in quality and invest the rest in glass. There's a lot of cool stuff out there, but you don't necessarily need the best pf the best.

For anyone watching this and considering one of these, consider the Gitzo is no longer $949. B&H has the 1545T with ball head for $680 now, and it isn't on sale. Additionally, these show up used, which is how I bought mine for $500. I have two Manfrotto tripods, and the Gitzo is really like a premium product by comparison.

The one thing about height of the tripod. It would have been helpful to give a height in inches for the camera viewfinder of the different tripods. This would impartially help people decide if the tripod does reach a comfortable level.

Not a fan of ball head because it needs heavy effort for me to tighten it, but I bought this Peak Design tripod and pleasantly surprised by how easy to lock it in place even heavy lens. It is expensive, but it is the only one a small senior like me able to travel with. Yes, I hate have to use allen wrench, I lost it the first time using it and a replacement is $20, ouch.
