Peak Design Pro Tripod is here, setting a new benchmark for photographers and videographers who need professional support gear with mobility in mind. This flagship model builds upon the success of the original Travel Tripod, offering more stability, extended height, and enhanced functionality—without sacrificing its travel-friendly design.
Three Configurations, One Mission
The Peak Design Pro Tripod lineup includes three options: Pro Lite, Pro, and Pro Tall. Each version is crafted to meet varying demands for portability and performance. Key updates across all models include a CNC-machined hub, a reinforced center column with flanged design, and sturdier leg tubes.
These enhancements allow the tripod to support up to 40 lbs (18.1 kg)—double the previous model’s capacity. The Pro Tall version reaches a maximum height of 197.4 cm, making it ideal for those needing overhead shots or added flexibility.
Despite the pro-level features, the new tripods retain Peak Design’s commitment to portability. The Pro Lite remains the most compact, while the Pro and Pro Tall deliver additional height and strength with only minimal changes to folded size and weight.
A Smoother Ball Head for Video Creators
A standout improvement is the redesigned Pro Ball Head. Now featuring integrated fluid panning and 15° of tilt—even when the center column is stowed—this new head suits both stills and video use. An ARCA-compatible quick-lock mechanism simplifies mounting, and a new Tilt Mod accessory transforms the setup into a true pan-and-tilt solution.
Other thoughtful enhancements include quicker leg cam locks, a built-in hex key and phone mount within the column, and ergonomic leg angle adjusters. The tripod also comes with a padded, weather-resistant carrying sleeve and adjustable strap.
Tested with Jimmy Chin in the Field
The Peak Design Pro Tripod was developed in collaboration with acclaimed filmmaker and photographer Jimmy Chin. His field testing in extreme conditions helped refine both durability and usability, ensuring the tripod meets real-world demands from professionals in the wild.
