The tripods build upon the company's well-regarded Travel Tripod, but are made to hold more gear and to be more capable for videographers.
There are three models: the Pro Lite, Pro and Pro Tall, with maximum heights of 162. 5cm (64. 0"), 168. 4cm (66. 3") and 197. 4cm (77. 7"), respectively. The two larger models can carry payloads of up to 18. 1kg (40lb), while the Lite model can hold 15. 9kg (35lb).
Compared to the Travel Tripod, the Pro tripod's biggest upgrade is the ball head. While it's not as compact, it has an automatic locking mechanism, as well as a secondary lock to keep you from accidentally ejecting your camera. It also has a fluid mechanism for getting smooth, steady pans.

There are also several accessories for the Pro Tripods, but the most interesting is the Tilt Mod. Like its name implies, it adds a fluid tilting mechanism; combine it with the tripod, and you get something close to the tilt/pan models videographers generally choose.
As with many of Peak Design's products, none of this comes cheap. The Pro Lite costs $799, with the Pro and Pro Tall going for $899 and $999. The Tilt Mod costs $149 on top of that. The company says it's offering 5% off the tripods and their accessories until December 1st as part of its Black Friday sale (though the discounts on its other products are more substantial).
