    For Gitzo you can unlock all rings in one grab too and you don’t need much turns, just a half would unlock all sections smoothly. So it’s as fast as lever latches, and the rings won’t bite like levers. It’s the size making PD shine here. It’s like the first iPhone revolution to the phone market, now all brands need to rethink their travel tripod designs too, especially Gitzo at higher price.

    I share your love about good tripods.
    For years I had been buying cheap tripods and ended up not using them much because they were clunky.
    I was travelling overseas and had an idea for a selfie I wanted to take in Paris and needed a tripod . I was about to buy yet another cheap tripod and throw it out after the shot but decided to pay about double the price of a cheap tripod and bought a cheaper manfrotto tripod.
    It turns out to be one of the best photography buys I’ve made.
    What I Luv about it is it’s trigger locking mechanism on the ball head. It’s so simple to set up and adjust a shot.
    Whilst mine was designed for smaller cameras and wouldn’t suit Peters needs ( his cameras are so much bigger/heavier than mine) I’m still happy with it. However if I was in peter’s league I could see the need for giving serious thought to the tripod featured in this video.

    Peak Design is so thoughtful in their design, every Peak product I have I love. I saw another YTer talking this product up and was impressed. You solidified my thoughts and really like when you point out what you like and don't like and compare. The ball head is miles ahead of anyone, not just the competition. Tripod design reminds me of the Sachtler Flowtech 75 MS Carbon Fiber Tripod. Both designs are groundbreaking.

      Exactly; I shoot mainly landscape and rarely set up on level ground, so for me I'd still be leveling everything with the PD. Also, I have a Gitzo Traveler and a cheaper knockoff backup, I never untwist one section of a leg at a time, I untwist all sections of a leg at once easily. I'm also concerned about vibration from wind with the PD's thin center column, and its holding strength as at 7:18+ when he moves the tripod with his bag on the hook you see it slip down twice. Hopefully that's only because he didn't fully secure it or something that gets addressed before full production.
      All that being said, there's a lot to like with this tripod and I plan on at least checking it out as mine has endured a lot of abuse over the years and I'm looking to replace it soon.

This looks like the real deal .Even at that slightly steep price point what a pleasure to carry around, store and naturally lets not forget actually set up and USE ! What a time saver ! Carbon Fiber is a cool feature for strength, light weight and reliability but not a must so I would be very happy and probably equally comfortable with the less expensive aluminum model ….because I'm not a millionaire or even really a thousandaire if there were a thing.... I don't know maybe there is I'd be willing to take the title ;) Anyway VERY intuitive and well thought out. Looking forward to the final version.

    Great overview. I'd love to get my hands on one of these. I have a handful of other Peak Design products and they're all well designed and look good. But... BUT-the camera will not "always be level" when the head is down, UNLESS the tripod is level to begin with. As a real estate photographer I'm always very aware of how not-level every floor seems to be, let alone the great outdoors.

  • @alexfurer

    Gitzo’s rotary lock mechanism is why I use Manfrotto. Plus I’d like to see this loaded with a heavy Nikon D810, 24-70 f 2.8 plus Nodal Ninja pano head or pan/tilt motors. All in all 5 kg of gear and then hang the bag on the hook. Sure the wind won’t take it, but probably because the legs retracted due to all the load. I am open to be convinced that this more than a super expensive mobile phone tripod.
