Can you identify this Toyo-View model?

Sorry if I'm a bit out of the subject...

In my opinion, your Quick Set tripod is not good to support your Toyo.

I have a Toyo View 45G and also the same Quick Set tripod. I found out that the 13 pounds of my Toyo was too heavy for the tripod, so it was waving a little (ie: it was not stable enough. The legs were curving because of the weight).

You have a nice camera, so, it would be wise to invest for a stronger tripod. But, hey! it's only my personal opinion

Have a nice day!!!

Thanks Jeff. I had not been able to identify the tripod. It only had the logo--no name printed anywhere. But for $200 for the camera, tripod, two Sironar lenses, a spotmeter and a pile of film holders, I'm not complaining if the tripod is undersized. The owner just wanted to clear out all his photography stuff for a home downsizing.

Your lucky that you got the name so quickly: it took me years to get the name of the tripod. I found out about the name when I saw a tripod with the same logo in a photographic flea market in Toronto The logo AND the name was on it.

Everything for $200, that is really a good bargain! Have fun with it!!!
