I have a first generation benro travel flat tripod that I really quite
like, this is the current product.

Since it folds flat, rather than into the cylindrical shape, it is much
easier to pack in many situations. It is not an ideal daily use tripod,
especially with the modular center column, but it is reasonably stable,
especially with an upgraded ball head, is exceptionally light and
compact, and wasn't exorbitantly expensive (I bought mine used).
I would say that the new peak design tripod, at least in its first
generation, is squarely in the delta between a clever idea and a good
idea. I sincerely hope that it works out well enough for them to
develop a second generation with the inevitable bugs ironed out.

I just bought a Mefoto travel tripod similar to this one a couple months ago,
and I probably wouldn’t be able to afford this one, but it sure is a beauty.
With two months to go they’re already almost 300 percent to their goal.
