Here is a review of the PT3. Expensive, but looks nice!

I read the review on Cloudynights a while back and got really excited till I checked the price. $2150 without a head or assessories! I am sure it's a good match for a $20K TMB APO but a little more than what I wanted to spend. I found something else on Astromart that works very well for my 6"F/8: A Quickset Tripod that can hold 150 lbs with 2" OD center column and 18" travel. Cost is about 1/4 of the Peir-tech. I have to crank the center column myself but that's OK. List price for a new Quick-Set tripod is over $1k though. Look for a used one on Astromart if you are interest.
