My Feisol tripods allow the legs to be folded backwards so that the normally wasted space below the head is filled with the head. It’s a great feature and takes several inches off the length of the folded tripod. The peak design looks cool, and will surely appeal to a number of people, but for the most part it is a solution to a relatively non existent problem. Who really needs a high tech tripod to hold their smartphone still?
