This kit allows me the flexibility to choose how to travel best with the tripod. The tripod is already ultra compact, but this kit opens it up to ultra, ultralight pursuits by eliminating bulk and weight. It's easy to set up and I have had no issues.

We bought this just before going on vacation. We travel quite intensely moving from place to place. These attachments were a great addition to our camera gear and I strongly recommend them if you're into photography (especially if traveling).

Great quality as usual, easy to use and change the tripod to a lighter one

I bought this kit recently and I like it, but you will end up losing the little plastic bushings that are on top of the legs. They fall off easily. Also, one of my tripod leg clips, the one that loosens the leg, cracked.

Does what it says. Quickly and easily converts the tripod to the ultralight version. No fuss. No issues.

Amazing way to make the tripod even lighter by using the conversion kit. Super easy to install and re-install. This is a must have for any back country or travel photographer

These are a great idea and accessory. Why waste your time buying another seller tripod when you can just put these gems on the one you already own. Perfect for making things compact and lightweight. And despite another review here....It 100% still fits in the included Travel Tripod bag when these are attached. In fact there is actually more room with these on. Great construction and quality as always.

These are a really great addition to the tripod. I use them frequently for table top work and when travelling and I need something simple and very light. Yes, you don't have the full height of the tripod, but it is still a useful, sturdt and effective unit when hiking long distances. My only reservation, and the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that with these adaptors attached you cannot use the protective bag to hold the tripod as it no longer fits. A minor thing, but I prefer to keep my tripods protected in a bag where possible . Would I recommend these? Yes, because I have found them so beneficial.

Didn't know that by adding these to the tripod, you will reduce the height of your tripod entirely.

Easy to use, flexibility

This kit allows me the flexibility to choose how to travel best with the tripod. The tripod is already ultra compact, but this kit opens it up to ultra, ultralight pursuits by eliminating bulk and weight. It's easy to set up and I have had no issues.
As its name suggests, the Peak Design Travel Tripod Ultralight Conversion Kit lets you turn your Travel Tripod into an ultra-light one. It has TPU rubber feet that allow for tool-free installation and removal. The rubber material helps the tripod grip on the ground better and ensures fewer vibrations, too. You can enjoy comfier travels with a lightweight tripod by replacing the Travel Tripod’s lower leg sections with the lighter feet. This change will make the carbon fiber tripod 40% lighter and the aluminum tripod 45% lighter. Installing these foot plugs on any of the Travel Tripods gives you a more lightweight, professional tripod that offers up to 57.2 cm (22.5”) of height. Plus, you’ll get to use and articulate the tripod’s compact ball head, center column, and leg angle adjusters when you place this kit on your Travel Tripod.
Quickly convert the Travel Tripod into an ultralight tabletop-sized tripod, ideal for backpacking and other times when weight is of the essence. This kit contains 3 lightweight rugged plastic foot plugs that easily install in place of the lower 4 tripod leg sections. With the leg sections removed and the foot plugs installed, you're left with a pro-quality tripod that is half the weight, yet still deploys to 57.2cm (22.5"). Removing the lower 4 leg sections and installing the foot plugs is fast and easy - it requires no tools whatsoever.
The Ultralight Conversion kit quickly converts the Peak Design Travel Tripod - which is ultra-portable to begin with - into an ultralight, full-featured backpacking tripod that you can take with you when weight is of the essence.
Reduces Carbon tripod weight by 40% - from 1.29 kg (2.81 lbs) down to 0.774 kg (1.71 lbs). Reduces Aluminum tripod weight by 45% - from 1.56 kg (3.44 lbs) down to 0.854 kg (1.88 lbs)
Installs and uninstalls quickly and easily, no tools necessary.
Made from lightweight, rugged, weatherproof reinforced plastic. Tips of foot plugs are made from rubbery TPU for superior grip and vibration damping. When installed, you have full function and articulation of the Compact Ball Head, center column, and leg angle adjusters.
