Full details
The Peak Design Spike Feet Set is for photographers and videographers using the Peak Design Travel Tripod who need enhanced stability on challenging, uneven, or slippery surfaces. Its key benefit is providing a secure, non-slip grip on terrains like ice, smooth rocks, and loose dirt, preventing tripod slippage and protecting your shots. A potential caveat is that these spike feet may not be suitable for all indoor surfaces and are designed specifically for use with Peak Design Travel Tripod models.

Troubleshooting
Spike feet are difficult to install.
Ensure you are using the correct hex wrench and that the screws are properly aligned. Do not overtighten.
Tripod still feels unstable on a surface.
Confirm spike feet are fully tightened. Ensure the terrain itself is not excessively uneven, which could challenge any tripod's stability.
Spike feet are not gripping as expected.
Check if the surface is extremely hard or polished. The spike feet are designed for penetration or lodging into softer/rougher materials. Clean any debris from the spikes.
