TR343L Pro-Stix 59" inch Carbon Fiber Tripod w/ 34mm diameter legs 3-Section Long

I'm 6'2" tall and i shoot a 14lbs rifle I bought this tripod to shoot in long range rifle competition and so far I haven't been disappointed. With my rifle vise mounted I have more than enough height to position myself behind the rifle and with the rock steady stability of the TR343L I can make very accurate long distance shots that count. And when I'm not shooting off of my tripod I have my high power spotting scope mounted on top of it spotting For other shooters, while using my spotting scope on top of this tripod versa other tripods a find that I'm able to zoom in on a target at distance with very little shake if any at all, this thing is like a rock. The only negative thing I have to say about it is the 3rd member of the sectional legs feels tight when extending compared to the other section meaning I have to turn the release mechanism another half to full turn before I'm able to slide that section out. I give this tripod a 10 out of 10

Wow ! I put my 500f4 on gitzo ,rrs and SIRUI R3203 and now TR 343 L Pro Stix 59 is the WINNER ! Perfect sturdy built tripod for "big boys"

Fantastic! Very pleased with this tripod, leveling head and ARCA clamp system! We compete in precision rifle matches where we ruck our gear for a few miles and the strength and stability to weight ratio of this system is second to none!

I was looking for a tripod that perfectly supports my wildlife photography equipment, without vibrations, light and of excellent quality. I had a Gitzo and also reviewed the RRS, however, having a Katana Jr. and being in love with it, I decided to review the ProMediaGear tripods, being that I finally opted for one of them. After traveling several kilometers photographing in the forests of Costa Rica, I can say that I have not been disappointed, my tripod is excellent and exceeds my expectations, it supports without problem my heavy equipment, it is light, its height gives me versatility and next to the Katana They look beautiful. Definitely recommended.

so where do i start...i have been using a Manfrotto 055cxpro3 for over 12 years and although it has served me well for all these years it started to show its age...so i've been looking for a replacement but wanted something a little sturdier and overall stronger with a higher load rating.i was ready to purchase a Really Right Stuff tripod since i use their ball heads and i'm familiar with the brand and their reputation when i came across a few reviews of ProMediaGear...and i was intrigued to say the least.besides being a lot cheaper than Really Right stuff (the TVC33),it seamed stronger, better made, especially the apex, and came with integrated spike feet.after speaking with Tom at ProMediaGear i decided to take the plunge, and oh boy do i not regret it!!i the tripod has surpassed all my expectations!!from the packaging to the tripod itself it is the best tripod i have ever worked with!amazing build quality, super fast and smooth set up(i really like the machined aluminum twist locks) to the clever leg angle lock mechanism, it is such a pleasure to shoot with, not to mention super sturdy.i shot with it for the first time on a windy beach at sunset as the tide was coming in with no issues at all, also very easy to clean after an evening at the beach.very highly recommended !just try it out the company has a 30 day return policy and a 5 years warranty but i guarantee you will not want to return that tripod!

I've been using this for about a month. I really like the build quality before I was worried about putting my expensive gear on my old unit as It just felt weak to me. This unit is very stable and strong. I will be taking this unit on a small trip so I can tell how it travels. Again this is a great tripod.

In my opinion, the TR343L is the perfect balance of weight, strength, size and stability. It’s an excellent companion to my BH50 ball head. I was looking for a relatively light and compact tripod that didn't compromise on stability to replace my trusty old Manfrotto 3021BPRO. This tripod surpasses my expectations in every way. For starters: it’s lighter and substantially more stable than the old tripod. Interestingly, it’s more compact than the Manfrotto when collapsed, yet taller when fully extended. This is a 3-section tripod which I prefer over more sections, as there are fewer leg locks to monkey around with (a feature I liked on my Manfrotto as well). If you prefer a more compact tripod and the additional leg locks don’t bother you, the 4 section TR344 is a excellent choice. The locks for the leg angle took some getting used to (briefly). My old Manfrotto has some spring-loaded locks that I’ve grown accustomed to over many years of use. However, after using the PMG “sliding” locks for a while, I’ve found them to be intuitive, easy and fast to operate. The spiked feet included with this tripod (and all PMG tripods, I believe) are a welcome feature. There are ¼ 20 and 3/8 threaded holes in the apex which should prove useful. The build quality is incredible, like all PMG products. While I generally care more about function over form and PMG seems to nail that every time, I have to say I love PMG’s design aesthetic. The apex is a work of art (I ordered the red to match my BH50 – GORGEOUS!!), as is the tripod overall.
