This is a great quality tripod head so that you can use your own leveling base or ball or panoramic head. If you want a spare center column, I think you have to get it directly from Peak.

I really like the modular extension design of Peak Design tripods.

Was not a fan of the included ball head. Use the adapter with RRS ballhead. Works great. Only issue is that the screws that secure the ballhead (3 of them) fall out when head not attached (when i travel I remove ball head). Had to replace them.

it does just what its supposed to do. It lets you use other brand tripod heads on the best travel tripod ever. In my opinion

But using the user universal head, I?m able to use a gimbal mount head for supporting a huge lens for Astro photography

I just wish it comes with a longer central column so I don't have to screw/unscrew the ballhead everything time I want to use it. Or at least if they sell the central column, I could keep it attached to the head adapter. That would make life much easier.

Replacement head to a tripod. I use it only when I need to use the gimbal head for camera rotation because of the bigger screw. Its solid build, easy to install

Used this to attach a compact fluid head for mounting a Nikkor 200-500mm and D850 for birds in flight... worked flawlessly.. got shots I never could have with standard tripod ball

Found the perfect solution to my problem.. I have always had issues using my zoom telephoto lens with just the regular peak design ball head .. Now with this universal head adapter and my newly acquired long lens head from another brand, its the perfect marriage! :

If you want to attach your own head onto the tripod, this is perfect. It's really strong and I trust it

for traveling I use the head that comes with the tripod, but for work at home and that does not matter the weight or volume I use the adapter with a fluid head from Manfrotto

Like the old "DynaFlow" fluid transmission, the universal head adapter allows for a modern "fluid head"to mate up perfectly with the Peak Design Travel Tripod. It will let you cruise down the road and get those perfect images every time!

I recently had the chance to use a Peek Design tripod & liked it for travel. So I purchased my own from a local camera store, however they did not have the universal head adapter-ordered this directly from PD. Delivery was quick and I was able to utilize my existing ball head with no issues.

I use this on my travel tripod to add my preferred ballhead. It comes with a short post, but you can add the longer post that comes with the tripod.

I really like the modular extension design of Peak Design tripods.
Peak Design’s Travel Tripod Universal Head Adapter allows you to utilize any third-party tripod head on their Travel Tripods. It offers a more standard and level platform for your tripod heads. Installing this universal head adapter is easy: remove the tripod’s portable ball head and place your tripod head as its replacement. Then use the included 4mm hex wrench to attach the tripod head to the adapter. Your tripod head threads onto the adapter’s ⅜”-16 mount. The Universal Head Adapter also has three set screws that you tighten into the bottom of your tripod head, which fixes the adapter into place. Plus, you have two mounting options for the adapter: you can install it on the tripod legs or its center column. Travel Tripod Universal Head Adapters are only compatible with Peak Design’s aluminum and carbon fiber Travel Tripods.
How to enhance your photography experience The Travel Tripod Universal Head Adapter is your answer. This versatile accessory allows you to pair the ultra-compact legs of any standard 3rd party tripod with your preferred tripod head. It's an ideal solution for photographers and videographers who require specialized tripod head functionality, such as fluid pan and tilt for video shooting.
With the Universal Head Adapter, you can easily replace the Compact Ball Head using the included hex wrench, and then mount your 3rd party tripod head on top. This flexibility allows you to customize your equipment setup to suit your unique shooting requirements.
Experience the compactness and stability of the Peak Design Travel Tripod in a whole new way. This adapter uses universal inch threading, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of tripod heads. Installation is a breeze with the 4mm hex-drive screw, and the included hex wrench means you have everything you need right out of the box.
Please note, this adapter is designed to work exclusively with Peak Design Carbon and Aluminum Travel Tripod models. Whether you're capturing birds in flight with a Nikkor 200-500mm and D850 or filming a cinematic masterpiece, the Travel Tripod Universal Head Adapter is your key to unlocking new creative possibilities.
