Peak Design Pro Tripod Lite
The Pro Tripod Lite is the travel-focused branch of Peak Design's Pro line — carbon fiber with an included head and a 15.9 kg payload, trading some capacity for packability. This enthusiast-tier model is the lighter, more portable take rather than the full Pro. Good for travel-minded shooters who still want a capable head, but heavy telephoto and video rigs will want the standard Pro's higher payload.
