Peak Design, a prominent equipment manufacturer in the field of photography and video technologies, focuses on the expectations of professional users with its new tripod series. Known for its compact and travel -friendly travel tripod model, the brand attracts attention with increased durability and extended models with expanded. A total of three new models have been introduced and these models have been designed to carry professional camera systems. Promotion was also made through the Kickstarter campaign used by Peak Design frequently.
The tripods in the new series are called Pro Tripod, Pro Lite Tripod and Pro Tall Tripod, respectively. Each model has different body structures and dimensions to adapt to different scenarios. The light pro litely model is designed in smaller sizes, while the Pro Tall offers higher shooting angles thanks to its extended feet. The Pro Tripod, which is located in the middle segment, balances between the two ends.
Peak Design offers high transport capacity
The most striking detail in the new series is the maximum weight value that tripods can carry. Standard Pro Tripod and Pro Tall Tripod models can support equipment up to 18 kilograms. The Pro Lite model has a more modest capacity of up to 15 kilograms. These figures allow safe use of professional camera trunks and heavy lenses.
Since all models are made of carbon fiber material, it offers a solid and light structure. Tripods, whose weights range from 1.7 kilograms to 2.04 kilograms, maintain their portability despite this solid structure. Reaching a diameter of 9.3 cm when they fold, these tripods can easily fit into the side pockets of ordinary backpacks. Pro Tall Tripod, the largest model, remains 3.66 inches in diameter even when it is closed.
In spite of everything, these tripods do not only come to the fore with their physical characteristics. Some functional details used in the internal structure are also attractive for professional users. For example, the foldable phone holder and hexagonal multi -purpose key that can be placed in the middle column of the tripod is one of the remarkable details. These features reduce the need for extra accessories on the field.
In addition, Arca-Swiss compatible new generation fast connection systems provide safer and practical use. Wearing and removing the camera is much easier and more shaken by this mechanism. Nevertheless, an accessory called Tilt Mode, which makes the tripod title in accordance with Pan and Tilt movements for users who need it, is also available. This piece is sold as a separate module of $ 149.95.
As for the pricing section, the new tripods are at a very high level than the previous travel tripod model. The prices of Pro Series tripods range from 799.95 to 999.95 dollars. However, up to 27 percent discounts are applied for users who support the project early via Kickstarter. This discounted pre -sales process may be the only purchase opportunity before the sale of products in retail channels.
In addition to all these, the dimensions and heights of the tripods are among other remarkable elements. The Pro Tall Tripod can reach 197.4 centimeters when it is completely opened, and this value provides a great advantage for users who want to shoot high. Since the middle column should be extended very little, there is no loss of balance. Thus, a higher and more stable installation is possible.
The target audience of the new tripod series is far beyond ordinary users. In particular, exterior documentaries, nature photographers and content manufacturers using heavy camera systems can benefit directly from these models. Price-performance balance may vary for each user. However, considering the carrying capacity, material quality and functional details, it can be said that the products are a reasonable investment for professional use.
