The details
At a glance: Peak Design Travel Tripod (aluminium) - full-height travel tripod that packs to bottle size, with integrated ball head.
About this accessory
The Peak Design Travel Tripod in aluminium is a full-height travel tripod engineered around an unusually small packed diameter - the leg sections and centre column nest so closely that it folds down to roughly the size of a water bottle. Includes Peak Design's integrated ball head with an Arca-type compatible plate.

Best for
Aimed at travel, landscape and hiking photographers for whom packed size matters more than absolute rigidity. The aluminium version is heavier and less expensive than the carbon model with the same dimensions. Very well suited to strapping to a daypack; less suited to long heavy telephoto work, where a chunkier tripod with a dedicated gimbal will be steadier.
Frequently asked questions
How does the aluminium version compare with the carbon one?
Same design and dimensions; the aluminium model is around 280g heavier and considerably cheaper. Carbon also damps vibration slightly better and is warmer to handle in cold weather. Optically irrelevant - it is purely weight, cost and feel.
Does it come with the ball head?
Yes - the head is integrated into the design rather than being a separate component, which is part of how it folds so small. It is not intended to be swapped for a third-party head.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
