## Description

Best Peak desing accessory

Review: Good quality - Bought together with the travel tripod. Very good quality.
Review: Peak Design Travel Tripod Adapter Review - Note: There is nothing wrong with the original Peak Design travel tripods Arca-Swiss tripod head which is beautifully designed. I purchased this Peak Design tripod adapter as I film video and now I can film tilts and pans with a video head. The product comes well packaged with the adapter, a cloth storage bag and a very well made hex key. No instructions are included but there is a video on the Peak Design YouTube channel that clearly shows you how to swap the parts out. This is a simple process and will only take minutes. I'm very happy with this adapter which has let me mount a very lightweight Smallrig video head. The SmallRig video head also makes the tripod 8cm taller which is good as I find the PD travel tripod is a little on the short side. I gave the Peak Design adapter 5 stars as it's fairly priced and is very well made.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you need a 2.5mm hex wrench to remove the three screws? The tool from Peak Design is very frustrating.**
A: You can use your own tools, screws are standard size.

**Q: what's the diameter of the downtube?**
A: It is triangular and about half an inch on all sides.  It is a direct replacement for the head that comes standard and works very well with a gimbal head.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Use any camera mount with your lightweight legs and this adaptor
*by C***E on 15 June 2024*

The Peak Design Travel Tripod Universal Head Adapter saved my tripod from going back. The included ball head on the travel tripod is terrible. This adaptor is easy to swap onto the tripod; and peak design include the two hex drivers you need to do it. I swapped it out in a matter of minutes. Once it’s done; you can attach any head to the tripod you want; I have been using a nice ballhead; a video head as well as a motion capture device. Using the adaptor does mean it no longer fits inside the tripod bag; but I found I can zip up to a mounted ball head and just have that sticking out. It’s not as slick; but it’s a much better shooting experience.
