Peak Design Launches Innovative New Travel Tipod

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 …

Peak Design Capture V3 Review

Just before the public launch of the Capture V3 I polled my social media followers to see how many people were using one of the existing models, and I was staggered to see how many people already owned a Capture, or knew exactly what the product was. I knew these were quite popular products, but I hadn’t appreciated how widespread their usage had become – at least amongst the kind of outdoorsy folks that generally tend to follow my work on social channels. For those that haven’t come across the product before, the Capture is a quick-release camera carrying device …

Peak Design Strap Lineup Overview Peak Design’s camera strap lineup consists of three different straps – in ascending order of size: Leash, Slide Lite, and Slide. Whilst the Leash is the smallest strap, this doesn’t mean it’s only for small cameras. In fact I often use a Leash with big pro DSLRs simply because I value the incredibly …

REVIEW: Peak Design Pro Pad for Capture Clip (2017 version)

The new version of the Pro Pad updates the design to fit into the current Peak Design aesthetic. It’s a much sleeker looking product, and considerably smaller too. The photos on this page also include comparisons to the older version. As I’ve come to expect from these guys, the product is impeccably made, and the combination of the newer looking Capture Clip and Pro Pad is a smart solution that would be great for wedding photographers that are already dressed up for the occasion. There’s a little less padding on the new Pro Pad, but what padding there is, is …
