Its new pro tripods, available in three versions, are slightly thicker when collapsed, but they can also support twice as much weight and stand a bit taller. The three pro tripod models include a Lite version that prioritizes portability and a Tall version for improved stability. Ranging in weight from 3.7 to 4.5 pounds, the new pro models are only slightly heavier than Peak Design’s aluminum Travel Tripod, which weighs 3.44 pounds. But they all stand much taller, up to 77.7 inches for the Pro Tall Tripod, and can support up to 40 pounds of camera equipment, although the smaller Pro Lite Tripod maxes out at 35 pounds. Peak Design is offering a new accessory for its pro tripods that helps create smoother camera movements.
