TR343L Pro-Stix Carbon Fiber Tripod | 3 Sections 59 inches height

Light-weight AND rock-solid support!

What more can you ask for from a tripod than having it be both light-weight, and a rock-solid base support for your camera? Yes, the price is a bit steep when you compare it to the rickety aluminum and modestly solid steel offerings from other companies, but like every other PMG product I have purchased (quite a lot of them), I am glad I made the buy! I paired my 34-series legs with a BH-1 ball head, and have used it both in my job (professional photographer here), and for my own personal use. I actually get excited when I have an assignment for work where I can use my new tripod...it's THAT amazing. PMG products never disappoint. Keep up the amazing work PMG, I can't wait to see what new products you perfect next!

The best that money come by.

When I started out in Photography, I wasted a lot of money on inferior products. I wish I would’ve found Pro Media Gear years ago. Now, owning three of their tripods, I can honestly say the fit and finishes some of the best that I have ever seen.

The Best There Is

After more than 60 man-hours of in-person and online research, including technical consultations with Tom at ProMediaGear, I purchased three of the TR343L tripods. One is for use as a tripod for a very heavy $4,500 Swarovski spotting scope that I do not want to tip over--no matter what. The 343L with a center column and ProMediaGear hi-hat (Legacy Model) topped with an Outdoorsmans Fluid Head allow standing spotting scope use for users 5' to 6' tall with ONLY one leg extension deployed. It is very easy to adjust the center column for different users. It is also extremely stable. Splay the legs and use the spotting scope seated for hours. Use the longest PMG PX plate you can fit to allow you to pull the spotting scope toward your eye to avoid fatigue from leaning forward. Remove the center column from the apex (6 screws) and install the flat platform, hi-hat and fluid head, and the tripod works perfectly for the prone position. On paper, ProMediaGear tripods are far superior to the other high-end options we all know about. In person, all three tripods were identical in fit, finish and build quality--measured with a micrometer and a very critical eye. This consistency proves that PMG has its program together.
