## Description

Best Peak desing accessory

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.
Review: Good quality - Bought together with the travel tripod. Very good quality.

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.
