After much research on what tripod to get I settled on this beauty.

The adjustability, strength, and height gave me a huge step up from my previous tripod. My first outing with it I used the full height to capture a beautiful red morph screech owl in a cavity. I would not have been able to get the shot without this tripod. The weight of my 600mm lens would have prevented it.

This tripod is extremely light weight and adjust to my every need. Promediagear knocked it out of the park.

Lovely monopod. Well made as I expected! I use it with a 600mm and a 400mm with a Tomahawk connected to the lens. It is very solid with no sag or creep even with the weight of the 600mm mirrorless. A very nice pad is connected to the monopod and a very comfortable strap along with it. Made in the USA—what could be better! Thanks ProMediaGear!

This L-bracket for my Nikon Z9 is well made, fits the camera like a glove and makes mounting a tripod and adding accessories very easy. I pretty much leave it on the camera 100% of the time. IMO well worth the $$

I’m a former machinist and current pro photographer / videographer by trade. These components are very well thought out and engineered!

I love this Handle. It is such a great addition for when shooting handheld with my Godox V1 or Nikon flash. With a flash cord or with the wireless remote. Light weight, and I can put on my Lume Cube Panel for added soft or colored light. So versatile in uses. If you get the second HB2, the lighting options increase. Or with video, the microphone can be added and you have two-handed balance control of the camera. I have the PMG L-bracket on the Z6ii pictured. I pull out the side and it works as the second handle, just not as soft as a second Handle and bracket.

I am a happy owner of a Katana Jr. and I just acquired the GT2 Tomahawk. What a remarkably light gimbal, but so sturdy and made to the highest standards. I put it on my PMG BH50c60 Ball Head. It works with the ball head seamlessly. I highly recommend this combination. No Wimberley sidekick for me anymore! I love ProMediaGear too much. The GT2 is making its first big trip for elk in three weeks. I know it will preform admirably.

Follow up review. This has got to be one of my most reached to tripods that comes out with me onto location, I have the TR344 for when I need something lightweight. This tripod is a beast and so sturdy even when you have it at the maximum height, I've done 5 minute plus long exposures in windy conditions and it was still tack sharp. I use the levelling bowl paired with the BH1 ball head most of the time, I never have to weigh it down for my long exposures, I just put the tripod down on the ground and it stands up to the elements, using the spikes helps you anchor into the ground.

4 years on and nothing has broken on this, I have put it though a lot and it has battle scars on it from use yet it still keeps going. I do regular cleaning and once a year I give the tripod a full service to keep the tripod functioning.

I have people ask me why I have such a tall tripod and I say it is great for working on uneven ground or on a slop, great as well when you want to shoot from high up. I have considered buying the centre column for more height.

If you look after this I can see you getting easily 20 years out of it, PMG will also look after you if you'll need anything.

I've owned my BH1 head for almost 4 years now and it is a beast, I like how just a slight turn backs it off fully so great for quick changes to your composition. It is fully mechanical as well with no grease inside so it won't freeze up on you. With lightweight camera setups it has doesn't really move when backed off but be careful to make sure it is clamped down before you move your tripod, I had my camera drop forward in the early days of using this head, it isn't a fault but just something you need to get used to. With heavier cameras it works a real treat with a little bit of friction to give you that secure feeling I hate it when a ball head goes really loose on you when you back off that knob. I don't have the side bubble level on mine but I am seriously considering getting another BH1 head just so I can have that, I would still use my current one on my other tripod (TR344) but this mainly stays on my TR424L when I need a very stable base for my setup.

I love the freedom the head gives you, if you need to look straight down quickly you can and if you back off both knobs you can move the head at full range and only limited by the tripod legs

I've been using PMG for 4 years now and I really like to use their gear and this new head that hasn't been out for long is more you conventional style head but it still works mechanically without grease so means it won't lock up on you in extreme weather conditions, I put it in my freezer over night at -22 degrees celsius and it still functioned as normally when taken straight out.

Works just fine with a big camera setup on it as well, once you lock everything down it is very stable! If you need something really strong I recommend you look at the BH1 ball head as that is a tank

I recently got the leveling ball for my tripod. Prior to receiving it, I would have to achieve level by lowering a leg or two, in increments, which is not ideal. Now, all I have to do is get close to level with the legs and finish off with the leveling ball. What a time saver! This device is a life saver when trying to achieve level with the Katana Jr. The Jr. has a nice big leveling bubble that is easy to look down on so the leveling ball is a cinch to adjust with. No more wonky horizons when panning. The picture of the eagle that is attached was taken with the Katana Jr. And the leveling ball. I snapped off 10-15 frames before the eagle disappeared and I think at least 3/4 were sharp. I owe a lot to the Katana Jr. and now, also, to the leveling ball.
Thanks for another great product ProMediaGear.
P. S. I have reviewed a number of ProMediaGear products but ProMediaGear does not sponsor me nor have they provided any demo units. I purchased and own the PMG gear I have. All opinions are mine, accurate and honest. So far, every product I have purchased from PMG has met or exceeded my expectations for quality and performance.

Cheap rarely matches best quality, and those plugs are quite expensive, but they are worth every bit invested. I bought two of them, and coupled with dedicated ProMediaGear L Bracket and a Blackrapid Double slim shoulder strap I can carry two DSLR with ease and with great comfort. great product, and made to last.

I bought this bracket as a replacement to the universal base I hade before, which, no matter how tight I tried to secure to D3s' body, did not prevent the camera to slide, even with normal zoom attached. What I wanted was a solid grip, the ability to switch from panorama to portrait maintaining the ball head levelled, and a better portability, by attaching the camera to a Blackrapid double strip with a SS2P2 Retrofit Quick Release Plug Adapter for Camera Shoulder Straps.
while the base (PBND5) did just require to align the mounting screw to firmly secure the camera, preventing ANY movement, the vertical unit needed a small adjustment to fit perfectly to the camera; not that as is comes from the box the bracket doesn't work, but the gap between the vertical plate and the camera (less than half an inch) was something I did want. Honestly, it did take half an hour, some patience and a Dremel to rework the upper indentation to make space for the camera's eyelet. I am more than happy, and I recommend this bracket for D3s owners, some of them will maybe decide to keep it as it comes (after all, it works just fine), while others may want to rework the vertical plate to make it perfectly suited for the camera, eliminating event the slightest movement, for the best results.

The quality of the dovetail plate is obvious right from the beginning. This helped me balance a large spotting scope on my tripod without needing a gimbal head (saving up for one of those in the future). The ability to mount cameras or accessories at both ends of the 8" plate is also a great feature that I expect to use in the future.

Sold my Wimberley for the Katana Jr. By far the best gimbal on the market..its light, looks awesome and has the smoothest bearings there is...absolutely zero regrets.
Pairs perfectly with my Promediagear TR423 tripod and the Promediagear 75mm bowl for leveling my gimbal.

Perfect fit on the BG-R10 grip. There's no way that this plate can twist while mounted.
The PMG plate + PASL3 Bracket Plate Adapter together are much slimmer than the combination of my Spyder plate + Peak Design tripod plate. The Spyder+PD combination was thicker but also not sturdy at all, there are no twist lock pins between them.
I had some concerns that the PMG plate would not fit properly on my Peak Design tripod. On this tripod, not all arca plates fit well. PMG assured me by email that it would fit and they were right.
I also ordered the "SS2P2 Retrofit Quick Release Plug Adapter for Camera Shoulder Straps". If fits really well to the plate and feels very secure. I would like an SSP2 socket on a different position on the PASL3 though, but will explain that in the review for the PASL3.
100% happy! :-)
Ordered from the PMG website and had to pay a substantial amount of import tax (Netherlands). Make sure you take that into account.
