Ultralight Conversion Kit
ULTRALIGHT CONVERSION KIT
Quickly convert the Travel Tripod into an ultralight tabletop-sized tripod, ideal for backpacking and other times when weight is of the essence.
This kit contains 3 lightweight rugged plastic foot plugs that easily install in place of the lower 4 tripod leg sections. With the leg sections removed and the foot plugs installed, you’re left with a pro-quality tripod that is half the weight, yet still deploys to 57.2cm (22.5”). Removing the lower 4 leg sections and installing the foot plugs is fast and easy—it requires no tools whatsoever.
(Works with both carbon and aluminum Peak Design Travel Tripods. Works with or without the Travel Tripod center column. 3rd party tripod head and tripod sold separately.)
