Peak Design Launches Innovative New Travel Tipod

by

Peak Design has launched a new travel tripod on Kickstarter. Based on their past successes with the crowdfunding platform, it should come as no surprise that they blew past the $2 million funding mark in a single day. They are smashing their $500,000 goal with 57 days still to go. UPDATE: Launched and reviewed. “During my travels in 2008 I began wondering why on Earth my tripod was so big. The thing was full of negative space and knobs, and I felt like something designed for portability could do much better,” Peak Design CEO, Peter Dering. During the campaign the …
