Peak Design also developed a system of non-inverted legs that rapidly deploy with three swift hand movements. Other features include a fully articulating ball head, a single ring for simple and smooth 360 degree adjustment, a mobile mount for your smartphone, and Peak Design’s proprietary quick-release plate technology for lightning-fast camera attachment. Available in either aluminum or carbon fiber, this is a must-have piece of gear for traveling photographers. watch the video below
