A Tripod Terribly Misjudged by Many: A Technical Review of the Peak Design Travel Tripod

This tripod was so different from all others in the market when it was released four years ago. Now that it’s obvious that many other brands have copied its unique form factor one way or another, it definitely deserves a closer look.

It has been over four years since Peak Design first launched their travel tripod as a crowdfunding project, and ever since, the tripod’s design has polarized opinions of photographers around the world. The unusual and (then) uniquely minimalistic design of the Peak Design travel tripod excited a lot of photographers enough to raise well over the targeted funding, but at the same time raised some eyebrows on those who were not instantly convinced.

The Minimalist Design

Peak Design’s travel tripod seems to have been designed with the aim of taking the concept of portability to a whole new level. While most travel tripods were designed to have the legs fold upwards to reduce the folded length, this one took an entirely different approach. Instead, the legs are divided into five shorter sections. This made it possible to make the folded length even shorter than most tripods, which would make it very easy to pack inside a regular camera bag. At the same time, the legs were made in a more flattened shape instead of the usual rods, which made it more possible to keep the width of the entire tripod thinner. This is in combination to the extremely thinner center column that fit perfectly in between the three legs to form what seems like the most dense and most compact folded form of any tripod.

The aluminum version of the PD travel tripod comes as a solid 1.56 kg compact cylinder while the carbon fiber version weighs 1.29 kg. These two variants can both carry up to 9.1 kg of camera gear. The entire tripod folds down to 39.1 cm with a beverage bottle-like diameter of just 7.9 cm. When all five sections are fully extended, the maximum height is 130.2 cm with the center column down and 152.4 cm with the center column fully extended. The lowest configuration with the center column partially removed and legs spread to the widest angle gives a minimum height of just 14 cm. 

The Unusual Ball Head

At first glance it seems that this tripod only has a quick-release clamp for a head because the ball joint was very well concealed within the groove of the central joint of the tripod and this was done for a very obvious reason. On the base of the head are three protrusions that perfectly fit within the grooves of the central joint and makes the folded form of the tripod almost without any gaps. However, these protrusions also act as the connection of the ball to the head itself, and it does prevent the ball head from having a full range of motion especially when turning the camera vertical.

The head itself does not have any knobs, but instead has rings around the circumference of the head that control the necessary movements. A ring with a textured surface can be found closest to the base of the head, and this controls the friction on the ball joint. Above that is another ring with a very small notch that locks and unlocks the quick release clamp, and above that is a button that releases the plate holding the camera. This quick release clamp follows the Arca-Swiss format which means that while the supplied plate is the same as the ones found on other Peak Design accessories, it is compatible with most Arca-Swiss mount tripod plates, L-brackets, and rotating brackets. Rings were used instead of knobs to rid the assembly of anything protruding and bulky. The ball head was designed to keep it as non-intrusive as possible, however if any tilt has to be done, the user would have to raise the center column a bit.

The Minimalist Center Column

One of the most unusual features of this tripod was the remarkably thin center column. It was obvious that it was made that way and followed the shape of the hexagonal legs and so that the entire width of the tripod would be thinner and easier to store. However, the concern lies in the fact that it might not be as stable given the width.

What was not as obvious was that the frame that encases the center column was much longer than what is seen on other tripods. This meant that there was more surface area on the center column that was being stabilized by this frame when locked in. Regardless of whether it was fully extended or not, about 20% of the entire length is being stabilized by the frame, which virtually makes it even more stable.

Application and User Experience

Like any other piece of photography gear, this tripod is better used for certain kinds of photography than others. With the main goal of making the tripod as portable as possible while still being generally usable, Peak Design basically created an entirely unique experience for whoever uses this tripod.

Using the tripod does require a bit of time to get used to the controls since rings are being used instead of knobs, but this is just a consequence of a new design approach. All in all, it does provide a viable solution to the challenges that travel photographers and traveling photographers encounter, all while carrying Peak Design’s minimalist aesthetics and functional design approach. As far as for other uses, I personally think that this tripod is usable in most landscape photography scenarios, especially since the center column can be shortened to achieve a much lower camera angle without having to swap out heads. This can also be quite useful for outdoor content creators as well as anyone who just needs camera support on-the-go. Given the height and the trade-offs on the ball head, this might not be the best to use inside a studio and not the best to use for when significant height is required. However as a tripod in general, it does the job while offering unique portability.

What I Liked

• Slim but sturdy build
• Unique head controls
• Detachable center column

What Can Be Improved

• Limited ball head range of motion
• More size options
• Perhaps colored accent elements on future versions

Nice review. It's a shame that the design has been copied so much albeit with cheaper materials and construction.

The review is not really very reviling. Several similar reviews exist for a very long time. I never heard of someone complaining about flip locks, which I prefer every day of a week because I see if the locks are closed, as opposed to the twist locks. Interesting would be to see a compare to the Benro Cyanbird, which shares with the Peak Design the revolutionary elliptical leg. This reviewer failed to mention this detail. Of course such light tripod has a limited application, and is not a replacement for e.g. my Manfrotto. However when I travel and fly, my Cyan-bird is in my luggage.

They mentioned it in the Minimalist Design section. "The legs take the shape of a seemingly flattened hexagon..." They referenced it again in the next section. "One of the most unusual features of this tripod was the remarkably thin center column. It was obvious that it was made that way and followed the shape of the hexagonal legs..."

"...did not sacrifice stability and usability in more demanding situations" [snort!] I absolutely *loathe* mine, and wish that I had never bought it. I have no problem with the head, center column, or any of the other things that most people complain about. Rather, I do not like how insecure the leg locks are. I very carefully adjusted the tension on them, and it worked reasonably well for a while. But then I took it on a trip to arctic Norway, and discovered that when it gets very cold it is pretty much impossible to tighten the screws enough to keep the damned thing from drifting down. I had to abandon a day of shooting during the trip and go buy a new (expensive...) tripod the trip to get my work done. Idiotic design, Peak. FWIW, I have the aluminum version, not carbon fiber. I suppose that could make a difference in the thermal properties, but it would have been useful to know that before purchasing.

This. I demo'd one out and was really disappointed in the rigidity of it. Ended up getting a used Series 0 Gitzo travel tripod and a RRS head off ebay for it. might not pack -quite- as small, but it's 10x the tripod the Peak Design one is, and cost less.

I have the aluminum version and I love it. I've traveled all over Europe and Japan with it.

I watched a CF version get blown off of a cliff in Australia from a sudden gust of wind, thankfully the Sony camera it was attached to protected the tripod from a 15 foot fall to the rocks below.

Haha. It's good to know a Sony camera is good for something. ;-) Kidding.

I really wanted to like it but that ballhead wasn't worth it

This PD tripod is insanely overpriced as well as functionally flawed. The Ulanzi x Coman (aka Zero Y) copycat is not only half the price but addresses many of the design limitations of the PD original. I honestly don't know why anyone would buy the PD version at this point, and I don't know why PD hasn't released a V2 that addresses the complaints. The manager of San Francisco's PD retail store has said on YouTube that this is the company's single most profitable product. Why be complacent?

The major problem with this tripod I’m not sure you touched on. And for landscape photography this is a big issue. Basically you can’t pan with it. In order to do that you have to loosen up the whole ball and it doesn’t stay fixed horizontally. Forget merging panorama shots.

There are many tripod/heads that dont pan. We all know this going in and purchase accordingly. Regardless, this can be easily rectified with a $25 panning base.

The PD tripod is overrated and overpriced. The original list price of $600+ was insane. Out of curiosity, I bought a used one for $300. I used it a few times and found insufficient for my needs. I own vastly superior tripods that are lighter, taller, stiffer and cost far less. The PD head design is novel but counterproductive. You have to extend the center column to use it. That drastically reduces stiffness of the entire system. Truly, some of the "copy cat" tripods like Heipi are actually better designed because of their more conventional heads.

The Heipi is slightly shorter both with the center column down and extended. You can also add a different head to the Peak Design. The PD is stupidly expensive, but a lot of cimments on here seem to just want to bash them in general.

Another way to compare the Heipi and PD is that they are very similar height wise, both requiring the central column to be raised to go from 50/51 inches to 59/60 inches. They both take whatever head you want (PD has that ability). But the PD has its own standard/built-in head if you want to go minimalistic. This description sounds totally different, as it is toned in the opposite direction.

I agree that there are better tripods for specific uses, but the Carbon version has replaced my other tripods almost all the time and can always go with me. The limitations of the ball head are easily overcome with inexpensive compact accessories which make the ball head like a leveling bowl on a video tripod: a very small rotating adaptor (Camera Panoramic Panning Base with Arca Swiss Style Plate, 3/8" Screw Aluminum Alloy Panorama Ball Tripod Head with Bubble Level for Tripod Monopod DSLR Cameras, Load Capacity 22 LBS at Amazon) can enable easy panning for panoramas, and recently relatively inexpensive geared heads make careful composition easier (my low-end Benro model is bulky but Leofoto makes more compact ones), and an L-bracket on the camera makes vertical and horizontal compositions stable and balanced. The vibration damping of the feet and legs is superior to any other I have used. If high winds are blowing, use the hook under the center column to connect a bungee cord to the camera bag under the tripod, or use some other weight or a tent stake to anchor the tripod! All the accessories can be left behind and the tripod can still be with me.

I recently took a fast trip through Spain with the CF Peak Design travel trip. I only used it a few times for early morning/evening work, with a Nikon Z8 and 24-120mm Z lens. For the purpose, it was a find combination. It won't replace my regular tripod, but if I need to go light, this tripod is what I'll use.

My peak design tripod travelled the world with me and braved wind, water and was great. I eventually replaced it with a monster rrs tvc34l and sold it. After less than a year, I find my self shopping for a new one because I miss it's portability. I specifically like the aluminum version for the added weight stability in moving water and wind.

I don’t think I I will ever understand the love for this tripod. It does one thing very well: it’s compact. Beyond that it is essentially useless as any sort of actual camera support. The legs when extended are extremely flimsy. Pushing down gently on the tripod causes the legs to bounce, and the whole thing is easily twisted as well. There is just extremely minimal rigidity in the legs and, well, that’s it. Something like the Leofoto LS-284 is massively more stable, less expensive and only a little bigger. Not to mention the PD’s head that requires partial extension of the center column to use.

I just don’t get it.

It really comes down to how light and compact the tripod is. I had no stability problems with it, while doing night photography along the Roman Bridge in Cordoba, Spain with a Nikon Z8 (which isn't a light camera). But, in that particular trip I had to compromise, so I went with the CF Peak Design. I do love my Leofoto LS-324C though and use it most of the time.

I demo'd one out and was really disappointed in the rigidity of it. Legs had alot of flex and vibrations took a long time to settle down.

Ended up getting a used Series 0 Gitzo travel tripod and a RRS head off ebay for it. might not pack -quite- as small, but it's 10x the tripod the Peak Design one is, and cost less.

Good informative article - thank you!

The writer could have been more helpful to his readers by giving the dimensions and weights in inches, pounds, and ounces as well as in metric equivalents. The lion's share of Fstoppers readers are in the United States, where metric is not used regularly by many. I don't want to do math in my head just to understand what an article is saying - it interrupts the flow of my reading.

I am really surprised that a Fstoppers editor and / or proofreader did not catch this omission and correct it before the article went up on the site.

Fewer and fewer things are in imperial units. Younger people are more accustomed to using metric. People involved in any kind of Maker activities use metric. I think it is less and less necessary for writers and video presenters to make these conversions for us. Its really time for us to join the rest of the world and the younger members of our own society and learn metric units.

The old axiom when it comes to tripods is:

"Light ... stable ... cheap ... pick two"

Well, after reading all of the comments here form people who have used this tripod, it seems that you only get to pick one of those attributes, as this model is both expensive and unstable.

I picked mine up with the early bird promo.

I hate the ballhead. It's difficult to adjust and the range of motion due to the design is quite limited and extremely frustrating.

The tripod is not sturdy. The legs flex a lot without any weight on the the tripod.

It is decent tripod if your number one priority is travel size amd that's all that matters. Beyond that it's been quite disappointing in my view.

I would have thought the would have come out with a much improved v2 by now as well.

I’ve had the alu version since day one. TBH it’s replaced my other tripods. It’s lighter, easier to pack/carry and to use. Yes, there are others that are better for specific tasks, but for general use this is great for me. It may not be for everyone, but it works great for me. If you have one and don’t like it, Peak have a ‘sell a used one’ service, so you can recoup some of your expenditure. A better option than whining and slagging it off!

Have you found yours to be extremely stable? Like good enough for VERY slow shutter speeds with big heavy lenses?

No, but that’s not what it’s designed for. It’s a travel tripod designed to be easy to travel with and provide general stability. For specific use, as I indicated, there are other options. If you need VERY slow shutter speeds and a VERY big heavy lens, then there are other tripods but they may not so convenient to travel with.

Thanks for the info. The one thing I can't compromise in a tripod is stability. I don't care if a tripod is big, heavy, or expensive ..... but it absolutely must be very stable.

Peak Design Travel Tripod review – triumphant unique design

A unique design creates a compact if pricey travel tripod.

TechRadar Verdict

The Peak Design Travel Tripod is well-made, stable, compact and lightweight, so it provides all of the key attributes photographers typically look for in travel tripods. If you can get beyond the high price and the slightly peculiar head that takes a little getting used to, the unique design and stability can’t be faulted.

Incredibly compact

Lightweight

Considered design

Snap leg locks rather than twist locks

Head takes getting used to

Editor's Note

Two-minute review.

• Should I buy?
• How I tested

• Original review date: June 2019 • Still available new, and still unique • Launch price: $599 / £559 / AU$1,170 • Official price now: $599 / £559 / AU$1,170 (carbon fiber)

Update: February 2024. We first looked at the Peak Design Travel tripod during a hands-on review in 2019 , and many years later there's still no design quite like it, which is a little surprising given how considered and successful the design concept has been delivered to create a super-compact tripod for your travels and one of the best travel tripods period. It remains available from retailers with a largely similar list price that goes all the way back to launch. 

A tripod’s a tripod – three legs and a head to secure a camera – pretty simple really. So how do you improve on a tried and tested design? The Peak Design Travel Tripod undoubtedly follows this fundamental construction, but four years of research and development has delivered a unique travel tripod as well as being incredibly compact and lightweight; its folded footprint when compared to similar-sized travel tripods, is about half in terms of diameter.

The Peak Design’s legs fold in neatly thanks to their shape, which drastically reduces the profile of the tripod when folded making the diameter similar to that of a can of soda; it may not sound exciting, but it’s impressive and makes the Peak Design a highly portable travel tripod if you’re willing to pay the premium price the tripod commands.

The Peak Design Travel Tripod is available in two flavors with the carbon fibre leg option costing $600 / £560 / AU$1170, and the aluminum alternative coming in at a slightly more modest $380 / £350 / AU$670. But that’s still a high price for an aluminum travel tripod. To be fair, it certainly isn’t cheap, but the overall design is what you’re paying for and as well as looking pretty smart and, indeed unique, the Peak Design provides impressive stability despite the legs being made up of five sections.

Cost aside, the main difference between the carbon fibre and aluminum options is weight. The former comes in at just 2.81lbs / 1.27kg, while the latter is slightly heavier at 3.44lbs / 1.56kg. The aluminum model is still lightweight despite the legs being made of heavier material, so this remains an option worth considering if you can’t afford the carbon fiber version. All other aspects of the tripods are the same, including the folded length of 15.4in / 39.1cm with a 3.1in / 7.9cm diameter.

With such a lightweight and compact folded size, you may be thinking that this tripod is short and flimsy, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. These were my initial expectations, but I was hugely impressed with the overall sturdiness and the ability to shoot low to the ground with the center column inserted upside down into the legs or as high as 60in / 152.4cm with the center column fully extended. The center column also offers a hook for adding weight and there’s an integrated phone mount that stows away in the bottom of the center column above the bag hook for adding weight to the tripod to increase stability when required.

This is a tripod that’s intended for professional use and offers a maximum payload of 20lbs / 9.1kg, so it can handle a wide variety of camera and lens combinations. With this, you could get away with using some long telephoto lenses for wildlife photography, and the head can support the weight, but the design of the head wouldn’t provide the most efficient and comfortable shooting experience for this type of photography. Plus, the head isn’t interchangeable so you couldn’t swap it out for a gimbal head instead.

Ultimately, this is no big deal because it’s clearly not a tripod that’s designed for this type of photography, but something to bear in mind if this would be an intended use. The head itself is low profile, which helps to reduce the overall bulkiness of the tripod and employs a novel design that takes getting used to if you’ve only experienced what you might call standard tripod heads in the past.

The head itself fulfils the clear desire to create something that’s compact and in keeping with the overall design of the tripod, but being a fixed head means that you have to be 100% sure that it’s something that you can get on with. What makes it different is that despite being a ball head, is that it provides two locking/adjustment rings; one for the ball mechanism and another for the tripod plate. Once you get used to which is which and you’ve used them a few times they do become intuitive, but they are undoubtedly a break from the norm.

The tripod plate uses the Arca Swiss design so it’s compatible with L brackets, which is great. And even if you don’t use an L bracket, the head and plate can be set vertically to the side for portrait format shooting with the notches of the socket providing additional stability. This is a clever design that mirrors that of the tripod as a whole.

When it comes to operation, the Peak Design is quick and easy to set up. And when I say quick, I really do mean quick because it simply needs to be extended rather than unfolded and then extended like many travel tripods. The leg locks are the older style clip locks rather than twist locks, but with the unique leg shape that facilitates the compact folding of the tripod, this is clearly the only option. It certainly doesn’t impact usability and these can be easily dismantled for cleaning and maintenance which is always useful.

Should I buy the Peak Design Travel Tripod?

Buy it if...

You want the most compact travel tripod Despite offering a maximum height of 60in / 152.4cm, this tripod folds down to an incredibly small size making it one of the most portable travel tripods available.

You value great design The Peak Design Travel Tripod may follow the fundamental design of tripods, but the way the legs have been built alongside the ultra-lightweight make it a unique option.

You use an L bracket L brackets typically use the Arca Swiss style attachment and although the Peak Design head can’t be changed, it does use an Arca Swiss style plate for connecting cameras.

Don't buy it if...

You’re on a budget This is an expensive tripod whichever option you go for, so if you’re on a tighter budget there are many alternatives available that follow a more traditional travel tripod design.

You require additional features The Peak Design Travel Tripod undoubtedly offers some unique features such as the integrated phone holder, but apart from the unique overall design it’s a fairly basic tripod.

You need a heavier tripod Travel tripods are typically lightweight but some are, of course, heavier than others and some photographers prefer a little extra weight to increase stability in windy conditions.

How I tested the Peak Design Travel Tripod

The Peak Design Travel Tripod was tested over a period of time using several different camera and lens combinations to test how the tripod stood up to standard use in travel-oriented scenarios. Cameras used included a premium compact, an APS-C mirrorless camera and a full-frame mirrorless camera. The tripod was also carried around with other photographic kit in my 'f-stop' brand backpack to evaluate performance over longer shoots such as landscapes.

With nearly 30 years of photographic experience and 15 years working as a photography journalist, I’ve been covering photographic accessories such as tripods for many years. As a professional photographer I frequently use a range of accessories to enhance my photography and bring my working experience of using these to reviews where I can consider how effective photographic accessories are from both a professional and enthusiast point of view.

Peak Design Travel Tripod (Aluminum) review

Peak design's unconventional design has resulted in a very compact yet strong and stable travel tripod.

Digital Camera World Verdict

The Peak Design Travel Tripod is a tripod you won't mind carrying just in case you need it. It takes a little while to get used to the unconventional head design, but overall it works well, and it's capable of holding a heavy load still in a breeze. We love the carbon fibre version, but the aluminum one is only a little heavier and saves a heap of money.

Extremely compact

Stable for its size and weight

Fast to deploy

Centre column must be raised to allow head movement

Supplied tool is easily lost

Why you can trust Digital Camera World Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out how we test.

Peak Design make two versions of the Travel Tripod, one made from carbon fibre (£599/$649.95) and the other, reviewed here, from aluminum. Aside from the pattern of the carbon fibre weave, the two tripods look identical and have the same maximum and minimum heights, but at 1.56kg, the aluminum version is 290g heavier than the carbon fibre version (see our separate review of the Peak Design Travel Tripod Carbon Fiber ).

The Travel Tripod has 5-section legs that enable it to pack down to 39.1cm, but its narrow diameter of less than 8cm is what really impresses. Rather than round, the leg tubes are shaped to fit closely together around the centre column to reduce the packed diameter. 

With the legs fully extended and the centre column at its longest point, the tripod is 152.4cm high. Dropping the centre column but keeping the legs at full length gives a height of 130.2cm. At the other end of the scale, the main section of the centre column can be removed to reduce the height to 14cm, or the column can be reversed for super-low shooting.

Peak Design has used a very unusual design for the tripod's head as the ball is visible at the top of the centre column beneath the pivoting top section with the release plate clamp. When the tripod is collapsed fully, the ball is surrounded by the top of the legs and the three struts that mount the clamp onto it slot neatly between the legs. This means that the centre column must be extended a little before the head can be moved.

Peak design supplies the tripod with a dual hex key tool and a stretchy bag. Also, if you remove the hook at the bottom of the centre column, you'll find a phone holder that can take the place of the Arca-Swiss quick release plate in the clamp.

Specifications

Material : Aluminum 

Folded length : 39.1cm

Maximum height: 152.4cm

No. leg sections: 5

Weight: 1.56Kg

Maximum load: 9.1Kg

Build and handling

Because of the unusual shape of the legs and the novel head design, the Peak Design Travel Tripod looks quite different from other tripods, but it feels great, and the aluminum legs are robust.

The legs have clip locks, and it's easy to flip open all four locks on a leg with one movement. This, plus the fact that the legs don't flip over the head and centre column for storage, means the tripod can be ready for use in a matter of seconds. 

The centre column is locked and unlocked using the small knob between the tops of two of the legs. Once the column has been extended a little, the tripod head can be angled for shooting. A knurled ring above the head ball locks and unlocks the head's movement, and just above it there's a lock for the quick release plate. 

Peak Design has used the same Arca-Swiss compatible quick release plate as it uses for its clips. This requires a hex key to mount it on a camera, and the supplied tool comes in handy. However, this tool slips quite easily out of its plastic holder on one of the legs, especially if the tripod is inverted for any reason.

Many backpacks have a side pocket for carrying a water bottle, and the Peak Design Travel Tripod slips neatly in. Alternatively, there are mounting points on the tripod and its bag for Peak Design's Anchor Loops for attaching one of the company's straps. 

Performance

Peak Design spent four years developing the Travel tripod, and it was clearly time very well spent because it's an excellent tripod. It can bear a maximum payload of 9.1Kg, and I've captured sharp long-exposure images using it to support a full-frame mirrorless camera with a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. It's even delivered sharp long-exposure results with a medium format camera.

The only weak point I've encountered is the quick release plate mount on the camera. If the camera is in landscape orientation, it's fine, but if the camera or lens is very heavy and you're shooting in portrait orientation, it's hard to tighten the plate on sufficiently to avoid it slipping. 

In terms of performance, it's difficult to discern a difference between the aluminum and carbon fibre versions of the tripod. However, even when the tripod is added to a backpack full of camera gear, it is possible to tell the difference in weight between the two models.

With around $270 difference in price between the carbon fiber and aluminum versions of the Peak Design Travel tripod, the aluminum tripod makes a desirable alternative to its more expensive sibling. The difference in weight, 290g, is noticeable, but it's only about the same as a bottle of water. If you're going to walk long distances, then the carbon fiber version may be more attractive, but many photographers will be happy to accept the extra weight for the cost-saving.

Whichever model you opt for, the Peak design Travel Tripod is an impressively well-designed and well-made tripod. It's small and light enough to be taken on most photographic expeditions, and it's ready for use in seconds.

Can I enter my camera tripod inside some of St. Petesburg tourist attractions..??

Dear Friends: I am going to St Petesburg in August, and I would like to know if someone could tell me if I can enter the Hermitage, Tsarskoye Selo (Pushkin), and the Petrodvorets Palace with my camera tripod or not... Some dear friends from virtualtourist have already told me I cannot do it at the Moscow's Kremlin... If someone could please reply to me. Thank you very much....

Saint Petersburg

The Kremlin and around the Kremlin to withdraw a camera tripod is not allowed. And also, the camera is forbidden to withdraw more in size than DSLR Canon30D(New rules photo-imaging in government facilities) In Petersburg think can be used tropod everywhere, but except Hermitage. but it is better to use a monopod.

Hi, I don't know if this will help but when I was at the Hermitage 2 years ago I did not use a tripod but it did say no photography, however this made absolutely no difference there were cameras everywhere being used including mine.

In many museums they differ "amateur" shots from "professional" ones. Usually it costs more money (e.g. 500...1000 r against 10...40 r). Sometimes last one is prohibited et al. How do they differ amateur from professional? Tripod - is the main thing! This makes sense if you consider that flash is forbidden in 80% of cases by default. P.

A general policy maintained by most museums here forbids tripods for several reasons, safety for others in the crowded museums and risk of using a large metal frame to smash display cases to steal priceless artifacts. The Hermitage has had that rule since valuable paintings, a Rembrant for one, were damaged. Professional photographers can apply for non-public hours photography sessions which are negotiated for fees in advance. Flash is not allowed in most art museums due to bright light tends to fast fragile pigments and from the old days when exploding flash bulbs often damaged artifacts and bystanders alike. Each museum assess the risk individually to set strobe intensity, number and duration of flash etc for professionals. The use of the images are also controlled by license or contract. This is how the stunning calendars and photo books are produced. Some churches allow tripods by consent, however. My advice for visitors is to take snapshots after getting camera tickets and deal with the low lighting levels as best you can without flash in galleries or with the builtin flash in areas it is allowed, but for serious imaging, buy the reasonably priced photo books that are available for each museum or general collections of the city's major museums and palaces in single volumes. They are cheap and very beautiful. Pay attention to the signs for photo prohibited rooms, some exhibits are on loan from other museums which usually limit imaging their collection while out of their control. This usually pertains to the Russian Museum side wings which are temporary exhibits and the Hermitage. Stanj- St Petersburg

When you are inside museums it is difficult to setup a tripod, it is in the way of the people walking by and you really would need to make arrangements and pay a big fee for some special professional access. Better to find some ways to get a sharp picture with other availalbel light techiniques like holding camera against an architectural element. A person with a tripod really draws attention to themselves in these days of digital photography. While you are concentrating through the viewfinder a pickpocket may be concettrating on your valuables. I find the little pocket tripods handy sometimes, especially for self-timer shots. On word of warning, don't wander far fromyour camera with the self-timer set, as you walk back to position you may find your camera no longer there!

Visiting Peterhof

If you only have time to make one trip out of St. Petersburg during your stay, then it should be Peterhof, the greatest of all the city's suburban estates. While the best time to visit Peterhof is of course the summer season, when all the varied buildings in the park are open to visitors and the famous fountains are in operation (early May to early October), this is also the time when Peterhof is most crowded, with long queues for some of the major attractions, and for transport back to the city.

There are various transport options to get to Peterhof from central St. Petersburg. Electric trains run from Baltiskiy Station to Noviy Peterhof, and take around 45 minutes. The station is about 20 minutes' walk from the gates to the Upper Garden across Proletarskiy Park, or there are several buses. Alternatively, marshrutka minibuses run from in front of Baltiskiy Station directly to the park gates in Peterhof. There are also marshrutkas from Avtovo (K-424) and from Leninskiy Prospekt (K-242) Metro Stations. The drive from the city should take a little under one hour.

Probably the best way to visit Peterhof is to take a hydrofoil across the Gulf of Finland to the jetty at the end of the Marine Canal. Two companies run regular hydrofoil services through the summer months from the Hermitage jetty, and Admiralteyskaya Naberezhnaya.

Lower Park with Fountains

As well as Peterhof's celebrated fountains, the Lower Park contains the numerous elegant buildings constructed for Peter the Great along the shores of the Gulf of Finland.

Upper Garden

Surrounding the Grand Palace, Peterhof's Upper Garden is an immaculately laid out formal garden dating from the reign of Empress Elizabeth.

Grand Palace

This elegant baroque palace is the centre of the Peterhof estate, boasting regal facades and stunningly ornate interiors.

Church Wing (building)

Recently opened after decades of restoration, the house church of Peterhof's Grand Palace once again boasts Bartolomeo Rastrelli's richly gilded interiors.

Special Collections (Jewelry Collection)

Housed in lavishly decorated chambers that once accommodated visiting royalty, this collection of Imperial jewels includes numerous pieces by Faberge.

Grottos of Grand Cascade

Providing the chance to see the mechanisms powering Peterhof's most famous fountains, the grottos are also richly decorated with marble and gilded statuary.

The private residence of Peter the Great at Peterhof, Monplaisir confirms the Tsar's excellent taste, with a variety of beautiful and unusual interiors.

Catherine Wing (building)

Built for Empress Elizabeth, this pretty smaller residence next to Monplaisir is somewhat inconspicuous, but is used to display the extraordinary Russian Dinner Service.

Bath Wing (building)

Developed and adapted over the reigns of several Emperors and Empresses, Peterhof's baths give an unusual glimpse into the intimate daily life of the Imperial family.

Aviaries of the Lower Park (Voliere)

It should be no surprise that even the birds at Peterhof live in unusual luxury, and these two pavilions - one housing Russian songbirds, one parrots - have beautifully painted ceilings.

Dating from the Petrine era, this small pavilion was designed to allow the Tsar to dine in privacy with his guests, ensured with an unusual system of pulleys.

This pretty baroque mansion was designed as a retreat for Peter the Great, and is now used to display many of his personal effects.

Benois Family Museum

The Benois family, emigres to St. Petersburg after the French Revolution, produced generation after generation of artists, architects and designers, celebrated in this museum.

Museum of Private Collections

This museum was opened in 2003 to house collections gifted to Peterhof by private collectors, including porcelain and avant-garde art.

Museum of Playing Cards

Commissioned by Nicholas I for his wife and daughter, these two pavilions on islands in the Kolonistsky Park have recently been opened to visitors.

Farmers' Palace

Once a simple rustic pavilion, this building in Peterhof's Alexandra Park gradually grew to become a sizeable villa for the family of the future Alexander II.
