Head adapter Peak Design TT-AD-5-150-1, aluminium, black, 70×90×100 mm

Peak Design TT-AD-5-150-1 is a black aluminium head adapter that connects camera heads and supports to compact tripod legs. With a solid aluminium construction and compact footprint of 70×90×100 mm (W×D×H), this adapter provides a metal interface between Travel Tripod-style ultra-compact legs and a variety of third‑party tripod, monopod or gimbal heads. The part is supplied ready for mechanical replacement of a Compact Ball Head and is suitable when a more specialised head functionality — for example fluid pan and tilt — is required.

Advantages

The adapter’s aluminium construction delivers a balance of low weight and rigidity, ensuring a reliable mechanical connection for camera heads. Its compact dimensions make it compatible with space‑constrained setups while providing a full metal mounting surface that is more durable than plastic alternatives. The adapter includes fittings for easy exchange with the Compact Ball Head using the supplied hex wrench, simplifying installation and removal.

Suitable for

• Attaching third‑party tripod heads to ultra‑compact Travel Tripod legs
• Mounting fluid pan and tilt heads for video work
• Using gimbal or heavier heads where a metal adapter plate is preferred
• Converting compact tripod setups for studio or location shoots

How to use

Loosen and remove the Compact Ball Head from the Travel Tripod legs using the included hex wrench.

Once the adapter is locked in place, attach your chosen third‑party tripod, monopod or gimbal head to the adapter and tighten according to the head manufacturer’s mounting instructions. Verify the combined stability and load capacity before mounting a camera.

Usage recommendations

Check the load capacity and mounting thread compatibility of your third‑party head before installation. For heavier heads or precision video heads, confirm the complete setup’s stability and tighten fasteners to the specified torque. Regularly inspect contact surfaces for wear and clean threads to maintain a reliable connection.
