Anyone else ever air guitar with a tripod? Just me? How about baseball... walking staff? Rifle? Pole vault? I’ll stop. ;)
Peter McKinnon Omg i thought i was alone 😂
The air?
Peter McKinnon I like my Manfrotto BeFree Compact Travel Carbon Fiber Tripod. Small, tall, latches and about 2 pounds.
How about air guitar with an invisible guitar 😁
Peter McKinnon definitely have done the baseball swing with with my Joby
I dare you to use Mozart as background music in your next video.
You should probably know that your music has been public domain for a while now. So even if Mckinnon would promote you, you wouldn't get a dime.
Another question: where did you find the fountain of youth? I wont tell anyone.
You also might want to update your name to fit the 21st century music scene. I like Lil Mozart

W.A.M would be also acceptable among the youngsters.
Yes... You have my vote.

"That's what she said" joke is the best part of this video😁
Oh, Peter.
I never expected a "That's what she said" joke from you, man.
Totally took me off guard hahahahaha
same!!
Yeaaah ahahahaha
9:34
Same hahahahha
I'm a female and make that joke in my head 20 times for the one time I say it out loud.
It's always funny. Always.
Pete sliding around on an office chair wielding a tripod shouting "FOCUS!" is the best thing I've seen all week. 😂
“That’s what she said” that caught me off guard Peter 😂😂
7:58 Peter forgot to say "that's what he said"
Quick tip: You can loosen all the locking sleeves of the Gitzo by twisting all of them at one go. Then it'll be much faster to deploy!
6:21 - You open the locks on the Gitzo tripod the same way and I am pretty sure you know that, Peter
7:22 - Seeing how the whole center column moves downwards because you gently touch your bag makes me worried about the whole center column twist lock
And it cannot hold much payload
Thats what I thought as well, cant see any game changing feature...
Christian Grundner The price? Haha
@@RohitNaik It can hold 33 Lbs
He didn't tho, at 2:26 you can clearly see him pulling and rotating each individual lock which isn't as effective as the lever system on the Peak Design.
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.
Peak design is known for making products that just make sense. Nothing too complicated, just pure performance, and i love it!
600 dollars tripod , My camera is 350 Dollars. LOL
thats the carbon fiber, comparable one by other brands cost the same
But my phone cost more!! I just realized that I spent way more for my phone than my camera. Hmmm.
@@vegasrenie i think that this tripod really is for those who do lots of traveling, but better pay once 600 and it's good forever rather then having to buy a new one every year
becasue you buy the cheap 2in1 for 50
@@charlesheinzphotography1637 Manfrotto Befree Advanced Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with 494 Center Ball Head ... $319.00 (Amazon)
JACKnJESUS not really comparable
Center column falls several times in video with bag hanging on hook. Seems like that would mess up potential time lapse or long exposure?
Absolutely nobody:
Peak Design: *Hold my tripod.*
Again, peak design, killing it with what looks to be a fantastic product.
no...juts a normal tripod
Wow, it's like...this is how tripods should have been designed all along, this is amazing! AND it fits in the water bottle pouch of a backpack!? I have two kids under 7 and a dog to haul with me, so so helpful to save space! WOW!
Video quality look different.
Color is different.
Never seen a Peter video at 4K.
Audio sounds different.
EOS R Canon logo is blacked out.
What is happening??
Edit: Dynamic range is also off
MixagiTrya EOS R pro body? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Probably because this is a paid endorsement of this tripod. There are several bigger photogs pimping this right now including Samuel Elkins and Burkard on Instagram just today as a matter of fact.
1dxiii?
Skin tones are off... so offf
Maybe he's using the RED. He teased it a while ago
Please make a follow-up vid ... after you have used it in tha real world ... would love to hear your opinion after.
He probably hasn’t, look how low it is
I would totally be interested in seeing a follow up video on this. Have you used it much since then? And how is it holding up a year later? Thanks!
Instant open the notification like "I'm gonna be the first yeeeee"...
500 views.
Thats totally me ;-)
Lol yip 3m followers. Peter kind of becomes as watched as a network tv show. I'd never thought about it until you comented this now but, that's actually crazy how many people are watching him at the same time...
Ikr
Damn true!!
This tripod is a thing of beauty, great design, lovely build quality and an absolute pleasure to use.
I've used MeFoto tripod for ages without any issues and for half the price.
I do love my MeFoto tripod. It's not as small as this, but it gets the job done!
@@grallonson MEFOTO Carbon Fiber Or aluminum? I have an aluminum globetrotter with a replacement fluid head on it, and it has never let me down. But it isssss heaaaavy.
When travel, make sure that your flight allow you take allen key, mine was taken by the auxiliary police recently.
ItsLucasYap
It happened with me as well once
That's f*cking ridiculous. There's no limit to the surprises those people have in store.
Please do 10 products under $10, $50, or $100 :)
Please!
Yess poor people like us would like this
I bought a Manfrotto and my experience just setting it up at home was as hilarious as yours. Five minutes later, I am still twisting, adjusting, and whatnot. Then got the PD one. OMG, such a huge difference. They are not even in the same universe. Thanks for convincing me to try it out!
Last two mins of the video is just realising how much of a child he is 😂 Never change!
No wonder Matti asked him to move... hahahah
@@RahulKapoor9992 - what happened to both of them. they are no longer on the same office?
This tripod VS the three-legged thing? which one would you recommend?
Me: This would be perfect for my youtube.
Bank account: Yeah how about no...
Great review Mr. M, love the hidden phone attachment.
This video looks different aesthetically.. and not in a good way ?!? Blown out window or different colour? something that just looks off ?
The plant to his left.
He is at Matti's desk and the window is blown out.
yes it's not sharp either, i'm a bit disapointed to be honest by the quality of the video
Dude, I just realized that I have a Gitzo tripod not being used, so the first thing I’ve did after seeing your review is to put it on sale. You have convinced me about the better investment in this tripod and the issues you were describing them in your review I have seen them, too.
I’ll have a look over your channel and subscribe. I do like your pragmatic and straightforward review, million thanks for doing it!
You could be an amazing sales person, keep on the good job on UA-cam!
Love peak design! Got their everyday backpack and am super amazed by all their thinking that they put into the products.
product review and unboxing has been one of your thing back in the earlier days of your channel so yea its good to bring it back.
Tripods make me so frustrated with the same non space efficient design. Glad to see more creativity from the peak design team. Definitely preordered.
Andy Miller yes, it’s been bugging me to! Backed without second thought, and its payload is as good as Manfroto though below Gitzo (and Gitzo in a hefty price).
I love Gitzo, basically like lifetime support and maintenance, well worth the money actually. No one beat their payload/weight efficiency...
But this PD design is just outsmarting everything else!
Love your laughter at the end of the video... never change. :)
Peter McKinnon FINALLY trying out the Douchebags !!
Any Jon Olsson fans out here ?
What use would they be to him?
Francois Thomas I love my douchebags for everything except hauling my large cameras around
Right?! Huge Duchebags fan here!

These PD tripod videos are taking over UA-cam today!! Looks awesome.
I really enjoy everything PeakDesign innovates/creates.
Come on, noone is commenting about this crazy rewind? I actually sat there in the underground laughing out loud. Great video Peter, thanks a lot for what you do!
I literally bought a tripod today and here we are.
An Up SIlwAl 😕
If this one is better then you can return it😘😂
But if you don't travel then yours might be better either way 😊
My ocd is tingling by how perfectly designed that tripod is + that carbon fiber looks so sick.
Great vid thx. BUT because of the price and the quality I would never recomend this tripod to a professional or amateur
If you were a professional, you'd know 500 for a carbon fibre tripod is about right. Take a look at Gitzo, or really right stuff, and you'll see why. Now there are second-rate, abliet decent tripod manufacturers like Benro, Induro, Sirui but they honestly don't hold water when compared to Gitzo or RRS.
hey pete, that little knob can actually be pulled out slightly making it easier to turn just like the knob on an analog watch pulls out a bit. the feature is shown in the KS campaign.
Pete: Feel ashamed using a Gitzo tripod
Me: Can’t even afford a tripod
Im not sure if its just the fact the window was blowing everything out, or you've changed something else, I think shooting wide open for this one has made it worse because only your face was in focus, when you held the tripod up it was blury for the most part.
Love watching you as always been this one was kinda difficult to get all the way through.
To be fair, the head is NOT going to be level when collapsed unless you have levelled the feet or have a perfectly level surface. You're over-selling it a bit my man.
Have you used it?
yep and while we are talking about overselling, rotary clamps can also be loosened all at the same time so the comparison on assembly time was rather misleading. I do prefer lever clamps but I don't find much difference in assembly time between my manfrotto tripods and my 3-legged thing one.
This is a quality comment 😏
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.
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.
$0.02
"That's what she said" I'm your fan for life now.
I don't even have equipment, but because of you I'm starting to grow passionate about photography and videography and I can't wait to buy my first camera and start taking shots.
lol Love the Lord Of The Rings reference. Ha Ha Ha That's what she said!!!!!! Tripod Rifle!!!
Duuuude!
I am so friggin happy to have seen this as my first foray into buying a travel tri pod...
I have several peak design product and they are DA' BOMB!
I have stepped down from buying a travel tri for YEARs due to price vs the bs bulk.
Buying now.
Keep up the great work.
Hilarious!
Great overview. I'd love to get my hands on one of these. I have a handful of other Peak Design products and they're all well designed and look good. But... BUT-the camera will not "always be level" when the head is down, UNLESS the tripod is level to begin with. As a real estate photographer I'm always very aware of how not-level every floor seems to be, let alone the great outdoors.
You known the tripod has a built in level right? & Sony have a built in camera feature like most to show younthat it's level..
This thing is getting tons of hate on the various forums and comment sections, but I think it’s rad. I’m in on the Kickstarter and can’t wait to get mine! I’d say it’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for, but it goes way beyond that with features I never would have thought up. Well done, PD!
Nice but Tony Northrups review has some pretty interesting downsides pointed out. This here is just HOOH ITS SO GOOD
its just a plain advert for this stupid 600$ tripod. Tony points out all the downsides too.
@@RM-hy4so Exactly, all these videos really feel like poor infomercials. Its a shame really.
That's because he isn't sponsor by Peak Design. He is free to stay objective without repurcusion from his sponsor
Best video I’ve seen all morning. Even though I’ve only watched one video, (I’m kidding) this is a very positive video, and that is an amazing travel tripod and I would love to get one a use it daily. Very nice video!!! Keep it up and good luck on the new office/warehouse space.
The load capacity seems to be way lower than gitzo, isn't it?
bro 9:32 i found out that the nob can be pulled out so you can access it easier then push it back in for the sleek/compact look. also at 7:59 you there is a magnet to the hook so you can align it properly to get it in as you twist it. hope this helps but thanks for sharing it with us
No need for Allen key! replace the existing plate screw with an $11 D-ring screw. (Nice tip from Tony Northrup).
This guys is just likable...he seems like hes a good dude who knows a shit ton about his craft and wants to help us get better at our craft, too. I will subscribe for sure!!
Shouldn't the most important aspect of a tripod be stability?Didn't see that covered.Looks awful spindly to me.
Spot on. This in essence is a tripod made for Smartphone generation. I am saying this with absolute authority after having fiddled with it in person. Beautiful design, yes, but productivity wise it is a complete ZERO
Thats so obvious that i didnt feel the need of talking about it
@@SailingLaVagabonde Not in a travel tripod? Are you nuts?
All triods are stable
Umm pete. The peak design carbon fibre tripod is almost 1k cdn. It’s awesome sure. But I rather get a 3 legged thing tbh
That rewind sequence was so so so so Funny 😂😂😂🙌🙌
Everyone: its not the gear that makes you better
Peter: I hoped this 1000$ Tripod will make my photos better, but it failed.
**surprised Pikachu**
I would like a full 5-10 minutes episode of just Peter arguing with cameraman Peter about something stupid. I love when he does that bit but I'd like a full episode of it. Just for the gag!
6:54 ahahahahahaha
BTW : They totally forgot about the most use of a tripod : PANORAMIC SHOT !
I'm glad someone else has spotted this flaw in what looks like and interesting design.
@peter mckinnon can you made this feed back to them ?
They have an adapter to fit 3rd party ball heads and plan to make their own panning heads in the future.
@@fuckthisbs How do you know that ?
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.
Wait who's helping you make these again?! Who's making you laugh?! Can I be hired just to make you laugh and not make this easy on you?! haha such good bloopers!
Thanks for the video Pete! Might consider backing this product!
Thanks, Peter, for a great review! I’m waiting for my carbon fiber version to arrive tomorrow. I can’t wait! 😊😎
That intro music has become just as iconic as the Game of Thrones title sequence for me 🙏
Really liked the bloom in the background from the windows, makes it look like a cinematic lens flare ;)
I love Peak Design products. It's quick, it looks good, feels good.
I got one similar to your $1k tripod for $36 lol it's aluminum, even has the flip latches on the legs. the Zomei Q555.
Lmao aluminum vs carbon fiber. Seems like a fair comparison lol.
If carbon fiber is worth $964 more to you, that's great. But I'll keep the money xD
ive been waiting so long for this upload ive been checking for the pass 5 days to see if you have uploaded
Peak design is the best camera accessories company period ! Even if their products are expensive, thess are worth investments !
Sorry for the fanboy comment...
Eric RAUZY not a fan boy, you just experience the most quality company as I do, I can’t resist keep buying.
The only thing I switched away from PD is only from the Capture system changed to Spider system, not because of quality, just because of use cases and design. I still own their all other product ranges!
Agreed. I am in San Francisco and I love going to their store. Their camera strap is awesome.
For some reason, this really reminded me of Pete's initial videos, really really enjoyed this one!
To savw everyone some time:
Retail Price: $350, they give you about a $60 discount if you back them on kickstarter now, ETA is December 2019.
$600 for the carbon fiber version.
Thank you.
'The Office' Build Out - goes perfectly with your joke
For $600
No Thank you.
The ones being used in Hollywood are starting at $8000 dollars so $600 isn't too bad!
@@ChandraPivo In Hollywood they use a travel Tripod ???
hmmmmm !!!!!!
@@hjmkhalaf They might! lol
This tri costs as much as my complete camera setup 😂
hey man they have to pay all these influencers!!
The bottle pocket observation was perfect!
Seriously, Peter Mckinnon, you looked like a tripod newbie using the Gitzo. That's not how you extend a Gitzo.
How you think a consumer would treat the tripod
How do you extend a Gitzo?
he had to justify the money he must supposedly have gotten paid to pimp this tripod.
You got my attention with the LOTR intro! Thanks for making this videos!
Me: yeah I have money I'm gonna save some this month
Peter: (Uploads a video about an awesome product)
My bank account: "Am I a joke to you?"
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.
The tripod is more expensive than my camera lollll
watching this gain. im just in love with this tripod. perfection
Some company is probably going to make a compatible plate with a lever or screw.
Hopefully...
Peter the White. The intro and tripod I didn't know I needed until now!
You paid $1000 for a travel tripod? I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you ;)
I thought $200 for the Monfroto was a bit nuts... but $600 for this retail, nahhh!!!!!!!!
Saw this tripod during the week, it alerted on Kickstarter. Definitely thinking about getting in on it, as it's SO cool, especially in carbon.
Does it work good for video, pan/tllt or is it more for still photos. Another great video. We are in the beach Toronto 🇨🇦
The head on this tripod reminds me of the Gitzo GH531SQD head. It also sits down into the tripod apex and has a single rotating ring for lock/unlock. In addition, it also has a friction adjustment so that the full "unlocked" position of the ring still has your desired amount of friction. Nice, but expensive.
“Do I enjoy using this?”
Pete as Marie Kondo in camera world.
Just ordered this bad boy. Cant wait. I almost bought a different one and SO glad I found this video!! Thank you Pete
Just gave a Like because of the „That‘s what she said“😂
😂😂😂 OMG, your outtakes! 😂 I can’t even. 😭😂 You kill me.
That PD isnt very good. Im selling mine due difficulty aiming at stars. Anything vertical for that matter. Its a 6 of 10.
Been planing on getting a new tripod. Was thinking of investing in a manfroto tripod recently but I’m glad you uploaded this because I’m now definitely investing in peakdesign (again 👀, great products) because this product is amazing
Oh goodie! Was reading the kickstarter campaign when a Peter McKinnon notification pops up and answers ton of questions! Really big PD supporter, what to do with my Gitzo Traveller! 😀
Gitzo one is probably the most solid travel tripod if you do a lot of landscape photography but the price is a little bit ridiculous
Peak design just changed the game of travel tripods. Yes this is what I needed.
surprised there is no fluid head pan handle for smooth pans??
The reason why I switched back from ANY Travel Tripod is the fact that they aren't sturdy enough at all.
What benefit does it have if you have a light and small tripod that can't stand some wind because it is so light and because it should be small when packed it has 5 leg sections that make this thing wobbely. Don't argue with this, EVERY Tripod with 5 sections will be wobbely fully extended, this one also will be, it's physics.
For me I travel around with a real tripod, Benro TMA38CL, 3 sections, sturdy as hell, really fast to setup because again it just has 3 leg sections to extend, and with a really good head on top weights less then 2 Kilos. Yes it is big, but when you try to shoot long exposures in high wind you will see what your feeled need for a small and super light "travel tripod" will bring you.
Also, without some tools I can simply change out the center column to get very low, in fact I just leave the long center at home because the tripod itself is long enough.
Gitzo: "I cost $1000 so I must be the best travel tripod there is!
Peak Design: "Hold my beer"
Joseph McMullen that might be relevant except this tripod costs $600.... a gitzo series 1 traveler is $629.
That Gitzo blows that stupid thing out of the water fact! Again like comparing a swatch watch to a Italian navy seal Panerai watch or something super quality built high end.
@@FelixGA9 I know that, but I was only making a joke off of what Peter was saying about the two tripods.
@@AtortAerials 😂😂
Peak design: "hold my ball head"
I’m pretty sure you can reinstall the whole ball head and center column together upside down when in super low mode. Then you can shoot through two legs. No need to uninstall the ball head from the center column. My tripod does this.
$600 I was thinking more like $120 lmao I was super wrong
People pay for the brand
Just got to the point where you take a long time to setup the Gitzo tripod and already seeing a flaw in your workflow. Unless I’m missing something. I’ve got a Sirui tripod that’s pretty similar. Need to twist to unlock the legs but I can actually unlock all the sections of 1 leg in 1 go instead of going to each individual twist lock. Securing them tight again is the only bit that needs to be done per section. Same with the PD one it seems, only it’s clamps instead of twist locks.
