Press Release: Peak Design Rethinks the Traditional L-Bracket with New Field Bracket System

A tool-free, modular L-bracket system that gives photographers flexibility on and off their tripod

San Francisco, CA (July 21st, 2026) – Peak Design, Peak Design, a global leader in camera accessories and everyday carry solutions, is proud to announce Field Bracket™, a modular L-bracket system that eliminates many of the compromises of traditional L-brackets. While L-brackets have become indispensable for quickly switching between portrait and landscape tripod shooting, they've remained largely unchanged, fixed in form, and often at odds with the rest of a photographer's kit. Peak Design’s Field Bracket rethinks this accessory category with a modular design that adapts as photographers' needs change.

  

At the heart of Field Bracket is a camera-specific baseplate precision-machined from recycled aluminum to hug the contours of each supported camera body. Using Peak Design's custom Field Latch™ mechanism, photographers can attach or remove Field Bracket's upright in seconds without tools, transforming the system from a low-profile baseplate into a full L-bracket for portrait tripod shooting. The upright can also be repositioned to provide clearance for tethering and other connected cables, allowing photographers to keep their camera mounted on a tripod without disrupting their workflow.

Field Bracket serves as the foundation for an expandable system. The optional Beacon Finder Tag is the first tracker specifically designed to fit inside an Arca-compatible camera plate, offering a discreet way to help locate and secure camera gear without the bulk of conventional tracking solutions. For added versatility, photographers can replace Field Bracket’s upright with the optional Cheese Plate, creating a lightweight rig with 1/4"-20, 3/8"-16, and cold shoe mounting points for lights, microphones, monitors, and other accessories. For handheld shooting, users can also add the optional Hand Strap, which integrates directly with Field Bracket to provide greater comfort and security. Across the system, Field Bracket preserves access to camera ports and controls while cleanly integrating with Peak Design Capture, Peak Design camera straps, and a wide range of third-party accessories.

Family	Compatible Models	Recommended Hand Strap Size
Sony	A1 II, A9 III, A7RV, A7V, A7IV, A7SIII, A1, A7RIV	Large
Sony A7C	A7C II, A7CR	Small
Canon	R6 II, R6 III, R5 II, R5, R6	Large
Nikon	Z6 III, Z5, Z5 II, Z6, Z6 II, Z7, Z7 III, Z8	Large
Fujifilm	X100VI, X100V, X-T5	Small
Leica	Q3	Small

“The best camera accessories disappear into your workflow until you need them. That idea shaped every decision we made with Field Bracket,” commented Peak Design Founder and CEO, Peter Dering. “Instead of asking photographers to permanently attach functionality they only use some of the time, we built a system that can transform in seconds while remaining just as rigid and dependable as a traditional L-bracket.”

Field Bracket will launch on Kickstarter as part of Peak Design's 17th crowdfunding campaign beginning July 21. Customers will have an opportunity to pre-order the system at a limited-time discount before its retail release. Camera-specific Field Brackets will be available for select Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, and Leica camera systems. The optional Cheese Plate, Hand Strap, and Beacon Finder Tag will be sold separately, allowing photographers to configure the system around their individual needs. Field Bracket carries an MSRP of $149.95, with optional accessories beginning at $39.95.

Peak Design Launches New Kickstarter Campaign Completing Their Tripod Line With Pro Tripods

After just completing their Roller Pro Kickstarter Campaign, Peak Design is back with another one! This time, it's a new set of tripods to go along with their Travel Tripod...the Pro Tripods and is available to back on Kickstarter.

Based on the groundbreaking architecture of Peak Design’s original award-winning Travel Tripod, Pro Tripod is scaled-up to offer significantly greater stiffness and deployment height. It also offers pro features like fluid panning, video support, and fully CNC-machined aluminum hardware, as well as meticulously engineered refinements to every single lever, knob, and touchpoint.

Pro Tripod will be available in 3 size variants (Lite / Pro / Tall) to meet a broad range of shooting needs and preferences. Combined with the Travel Tripod, Peak Design now has a full tripod line, with a compelling premium solution for everyone in the hobbyist, prosumer, and professional.

Product Overview:

• Pro Tripod: Professional-grade tripod with the stability and features pros need, but still portable enough to carry anywhere.
• Pro Tripod Tall: Variant of Pro Tripod with elongated legs for a taller deploy height. For users who prefer taller deployment, either because they are taller, or because they want maximum stability with heavier rigs by not deploying the center column. Longer packed length than Pro Tripod and slightly heavier.
• Pro Lite Tripod: Same head as Pro Tripod, but with the legs, hub, and center column scaled down for greater portability. For users willing to sacrifice a little stability for a little more packability. Packs down skinnier and slightly shorter than Pro Tripod, weighs slightly less. Still significantly stronger, stiffer, larger, and heavier than Travel Tripod.
• Tilt Mod (sold separately): Instantly convert your Pro Tripod ball head into a fluid pan/tilt head for capturing ultra-smooth pro-quality video. Capture photo and video in a single shoot without lugging extra gear or interrupting your workflow
• Pro Leveling Base (sold separately): Combine the portability and stability of our carbon fiber Pro Tripod legs with the functionality of your own dedicated pro video head, gimbal, geared head, 3-way head, and more. Quickly level it on uneven terrain without the need to adjust your legs.
• Pro Lite/Spike Feet: Set of 3 stainless steel spike feet. Pro set fits Pro & Pro Tall models, Pro Lite fits only Pro Lite model. Achieve superior stability and grip when shooting with Pro Tripod or Pro Tall Tripod on slippery or loose terrain.

Features:

• Massive stability upgrade. All pro, still no bulk. Scaled-up and precision-tuned to handle heavy pro rigs in the most demanding environments, Pro Tripod features stronger legs, an all-CNC-machined hub, and a flanged center column for maximum stability and weight capacity (40lb). Yet it still fits in your backpack.
• Totally overhauled & refined Pro Ball Head with fluid panning. Integrated fluid panning. An upgraded cinch ring for more stability than ever. Added safety toggle for total security. 15-degrees of adjustment even when the center column is fully stowed. Use the new Tilt Mod accessory to instantly convert to a full fluid pan/tilt video head.
• Faster, more secure camera connection. The redesigned Arca-compatible camera quick-lock grips your camera faster, tighter, and more effortlessly.
• Revamped leg cams for even faster setup and pack-down + easier maintenance. A hallmark feature of the Travel Tripod, the aluminum leg locking cams have been reengineered for smoother, faster, and stronger operation. Plus they’re significantly easier to disassemble for cleaning and maintenance.
• New ergonomic angle adjusters. New CNC-machined leg angle adjusters have smooth and satisfying push-button operation and lie flush when packed down.
• Fully integrated hex tool + mobile mount. Includes our iconic collapsible phone mount, plus a new folding hex multitool, both designed to stow inside the center column.
• Upgraded protective carry sleeve. The redesigned carry sleeve features a weatherproof shell, padded construction, and an integrated adjustable carry strap.

Press Release: Peak Design Adds to their Outdoor Line with New Backpacks, Slings and Accessories

Peak Design Elevates ISPO Award-Winning Outdoor Line with Additional Carry Options

New Outdoor Backpack 18L and Outdoor Sling 4L add versatility to the adventure-ready lineup

San Francisco, CA (June, 6th, 2025) – Peak Design, a global leader in outdoor and everyday carry solutions, is excited to welcome the addition of new backpacks, slings and accessories to its award-winning Outdoor Line. Debuted on Kickstarter in October 2024 ($3.5M raised), the Outdoor Line prioritizes effortless access, modular organization and comfort for every body type. The newest add-ons–available for immediate purchase via PeakDesign.com and Peak Design retail partners worldwide–bolster these attributes, priming the Peak Design Outdoor Line for summer adventures both on-trail and off.

Peak Design’s Outdoor Line was developed to solve common carrying issues like poor fit, overly-bulky harness systems, limited access, and over-engineered ‘technically baroque’ designs. Originally Consisting of 2 Outdoor Backpacks (45L/25L), 2 Outdoor Slings (7L/2L) and an ecosystem of Packing Tools for clothes, gear and photography equipment, the Outdoor Line injected new thought into the saturated outdoor carry category and garnered top-tier recognition with a 2024 Design Award from ISPO.

New for this retail release, the 18L Backpack, 4L Sling, and accessories like the Helmet Carry Harness and Rain Fly bring added protection, lighter carry options, and seamless integration with Peak Design’s modular ecosystem.

Most notable amongst these additions is the Outdoor Backpack 18L (MSRP: $189.95)–Peak Design’s smallest and lightest backpack to date. Equally suited for day hikes, golden-hour photoshoots, and urban commuting, the 18L Outdoor Backpack maintains the same comfort-elevating harness system and running-vest inspired shoulder straps as its 25L and 45L predecessors but has been slimmed down with fewer external pockets and a single internal access point via a 270-degree rear zip. Sleek, simple, and 20% lighter than the Outdoor Backpack 25L, the Outdoor Backpack 18L still integrates with Peak Design’s Smedium and small sized Ultra-Light Packing Cubes and Camera Cubes. New Outdoor Line offerings also include the Outdoor Sling 4L, Helmet Carry Harness and Rain Fly 15L-20L. 

  

 

The Outdoor Sling 4L (MSRP: $74.95) represents a perfect middle ground between the ultra-compact Outdoor Sling 2L and the more spacious Outdoor Sling 7L. Maintaining the identical features of the other Outdoor Slings–comfortable padded strap, and custom-hardware that allows for ultra-fast conversion from sling to waist bag–the Outdoor Sling 4L is perfect for daily essentials and minimalist excursions.

For burlier missions, the Helmet Carry Harness (sold separately) quickly and securely holds a bike, climbing or ski/snowboard helmet on the outside of any Peak Design Outdoor Line, Travel Line or Everyday Backpack, and the new Rain Fly 15-20L adds peace-of-mind against the elements when carrying the Outdoor Backpack 18L and a variety of Peak Design’s popular Everyday Backpacks (15L-20L).

“Our Outdoor Line offers the comfort, access and modularity we found lacking in other outdoor focused bags we’ve carried throughout the years,” commented Peter Dering, Peak Design Founder and CEO. “We were elated by the outcome of the Original Outdoor Line but the addition of the Outdoor Backpack 18L, Outdoor Sling 4L and accompanying accessories make the Outdoor Line feel truly complete.”

Peak Design’s Outdoor Line with add-ons will launch direct-to-consumer via PeakDesign.com and Peak Design Retailers world-wide on June 6th, 2025.

Press Release: Peak Design’s Roller Pro Is The Future Of Luggage Design

Peak Design’s Roller Pro Is The Future Of Luggage Design

New carry-on features and innovations that manufacturers said were impossible

San Francisco, CA (March 4, 2025) – Peak Design is making its roller luggage debut with its most anticipated product release yet: the Roller Pro Carry-On. This new travel essential combines soft-sided style, hard-sided durability, and adaptive features to support any adventure, whether it’s for business, creative pursuits or just for fun. It’s made for the modern traveler, whose needs are multifaceted but always grounded in function, form and accessibility.

 
Having grown tired of the multitude of cookie-cutter roller bags on the market—made predominantly with off-the-shelf parts and having little-to-no newly discernible features—Peak Design designed Roller Pro from the ground up with entirely-custom parts and assemblies. This enabled the brand to address shortcomings such as poorly-built handles, wasted space, unwieldy clamshell access, and the ‘same-old’ boring aesthetics.

Roller Pro’s defining feature is Peak Design’s SlimDriveTM – a patented, low-profile carbon fiber handle, engineered for maximal strength in a minimal volume. Standard roller handles are made from off-the-shelf telescoping aluminum tubes, which create large ridges at the bottom of traditional roller bags and create wasted space around them. Roller Pro’s handle is made from single-stage flat carbon fiber tubes, making it significantly stiffer while taking up just a third of the volume, which both maximizes packing space and provides a superior handling experience. Coupled with custom-engineered 60mm wheels—nestled within the bag’s corners to optimize interior storage—the Roller Pro glides smoothly across a range of surfaces with just a flick of the finger.

  

  

Roller Pro also boasts a unique hybrid construction – a lightweight polycarbonate shell covered with Peak Design’s signature VersaShellTM fabric – that provides hard-sided protection with soft-sided features, all in a clean, classic aesthetic. A front EDC pocket has protected storage for passports, chargers, headphones, and a laptop/tablet. Unlike traditional clamshell-style rollers, Roller Pro features an innovative ‘Drawbridge’ opening system with a compact footprint, offering travelers a unique solution for packing in confined spaces like airplane aisles, busy event spaces or cramped hotel rooms. Additionally, the bag’s expandable capacity, from 34L to 39L, accommodates those returning home with more than they left.

 
Busy travelers will rejoice in Roller Pro’s nifty packing features and thoughtful details. An interior organization panel holds small items or acts as dedicated dirty clothes storage, and can be stowed to create a single large volume that reveals a hidden AirTag pocket. A proprietary Cord HookTM Internal Retention System keeps contents secure, yet instantly retracts when not in use. Outside, 360-degree grab handles enable quick snagging from a conveyor belt or overhead compartment, and Cord HookTM Gear Loops offer external carry of jackets, umbrellas, or even a tripod.

  

Not forgetting its roots, Peak Design is releasing a brand new X-Large sized Camera Cube that fills the Roller Pro’s entire volume and holds a 400mm prime lens. With the X-Large Camera Cube, or any smaller size available, the bag becomes a mobile creative workstation for photographers on location or in the studio. Camera Cubes also disappear as quickly as they install, eliminating the need for photographers to own a dedicated camera roller.

  

True to Peak Design’s commitment to sustainability, the Roller Pro’s fabric shell is 100% recycled and Bluesign-approved, and the entire product is PFAS-free and Climate Label Certified. Backed by Peak Design’s lifetime guarantee, the Roller Pro is built to last, representing a long-term investment in high-quality travel gear. Roller Pro is international carry-on approved and clocks in at 21.8 x 14 x 9” and 8.8lbs.

 
“Inside almost every roller bag on the market, you’ll find a floppy fabric liner, and under that liner you’ll find two big honkin’ tubes,” said Peak Design Founder & CEO Peter Dering. “A plastic clamshell with big, fat tubes: that’s the easy way to make a roller. We chose the hard way. When we told our factory we wanted to redesign things from the ground up, they told us we were crazy. But, we pushed them and found a better way. The result is a product that is wildly more effective and delightful. Roller Pro has real innovation in it, and I suspect many of its features will become future industry standards.”

 
From March 4 - April 17, 2025, the Peak Design Roller Pro and newly released XL Camera Cube will be available to pre-order on Kickstarter, offering customers an exclusive chance to purchase at a discounted price (MSRP $139.95 - $599.95, depending on the item) in three colorways: Black, Eclipse and Sage. Products are expected to ship to Kickstarter backers in June 2025, with a full release on peakdesign.com, Amazon and global retailers by August 2025.
