Kickstarter: Travel Tripod by Peak Design — $8M Raised, 10 Days Left

It’s nearly last call for Peak Design‘s 9th Kickstarter campaign — a new Travel Tripod that is full of innovative features. This campaign has been a runaway success with almost $8 million pledged from over 18,000 backers. There’s just ten days left to join the campaign.

We previously wrote about the three most innovative features of this tripod, beyond the space-saving design. We were very impressed with the stowaway phone attachment, their one-ring ball head control, and the compatibility with the rest of the Peak Design ecosystem.

The Kickstarter campaign has historically been the best way to save on a Peak Design product — save up to 20% vs. the future retail price, a discount that likely won’t be seen for several years (if at all). You’ll also be among the first to receive the new product. Pledging $289 gets you the aluminium Travel Tripod; $479 gets you the carbon fiber Travel Tripod, but only until July 19th. Check out their Kickstarter campaign today.
