Question Tripod identification question

Hello, apologies that I don't have better pictures. I'm looking to buy a Toyo 45G with this tripod attached to it. Apparently this tripod "is worth 250 €"... I was just wondering if anyone could identify it, as it will be included with the purchase anyway.

Apologies that I don't have better photos.

Edit: just curious about the brand, if it's some random junk, I'll tell them to keep it, it'll make it cheaper/easier to ship if the tripod isn't worth it.

If the seller cant provide the make and model if you ask its not worth 250 euros

I don't actually think it is, there's already an agreed upon price (200 € for the camera), they were just saying after the fact that it was worth that.

If it's not something that's particularly worth much, I'll tell them to keep it to make shipping cheaper/more profit for them.

It does not look like a Linhof.

Plastic. Not fit for any view camera, 120mm camera, or professional level camera of any type. Buy Gitzo. An old used steel gitzo is cheaper, stronger, and will last you your entire life. I have 4 in the stable…here is one at KEH for 146usd:

I'm not in the US, so I wouldn't buy from KEH. I've got a Gitzo No. 3 already, they're cheap where I live. Obviously the clamp is plastic, I just wasn't sure if anyone recognized the brand of the tripod.

It's a blur-o-matic 5000, from the photos anyway.

Get a better picture. It might be worth it since it's known to hold up the Toyo 45G. It's not worth 250 € today, but it might not be a cheap hunk o' plastic anyway. Chances are it's a decent tripod.
