I cant speak about this one specifically but I have some promaster gear as the local camera shop seems to carry their line almost exclusively. This seems a little expensive to me. All the promaster stuff I have looked at is sub par quality and I buy it when I need something that I am not going to use very often and I can afford to skimp. I am inclined to believe you can find a better tripod for the money they are asking for. The other alternative would be to get this set of legs and spend a little more on the head. My promaster legs are alright, the fluid in the level disappeared after about a month one of the 3 legs sticks when you try to pull it out and the case was an afterthought so it shouldnt be mentioned as an accessory, the head was really only suitable for my DSLR with the 40mm ltd on it anything longer and the weight would push the ball head a little past where I had clamped it. I will keep the legs but I had to buy a new head to support my heavier lens.
