Buyer Beware! Peak Design Travel Tripod


I got mine and as soon as I saw the size of the box and lifted it up I knew I was dissapointed.

When I opened it I knew in two seconds it's going back it is too heavy too large and a screwy design just to save an inch and a half in diameter and a tripod that is easier to slide into a backpack which I do not use or have anyway.

Well what a suprise and my last kickstarter project all sales are final no returns. see screenshot

I will dispute it with VISA since a reputable company like PD whom I own about fifteen of their straps apparently does not accept returns on their goofy tripod.

I am not a huge Tony Northrup fan but he and his wife voted thumbs down also it is a gimmick IMO

I had trepidations about buying it and almost cancelled my pledge a few times but I figured if I did not like it Peak Design would at least let me return it especially since they will be selling for $120.00 more or I can sell on Ebay which it is already listed.

Actually if you do not already use a RRS or similar dovetail base on your camera and do not have a Gitzo traveler or two its not a bad setup. But I will not use a PD square plate everytime I want to use it or screw one in to my lens feet on my larger lenses either it is too much of a hassle.

The Gitzo Traveler 2 is a far superior and almost twice the price tripod and I have two and so it simply is not a fit for me.
