Peak Design to Donate First Round of Travel Tripod Profits to Charity

April 7th - via: pcmag.com
The Peak Design Travel Tripod was introduced to the world via Kickstarter last year, garnering enough pre-orders to outpace its funding goals 24 times over. But if you're not one of the 25,000-odd photographers who snatched up a pre-order, you won't be left out in the cold. Peak is opening up pre-orders for the tripod, but at the full price of $349.95 for an aluminum version and $599.95 for the carbon fiber version we reviewed. It's also showing some good will—through April 10, it is donating all profits from tripod sales to relief funds. This applies to sales directly from Peak's online store, as well as to sales from other retail channels. (Read More)
