The brand is Velbon.
But that doesn't really matter, as you should be using a remote release, and in any event you're using a flash, so your exposures are instantaneous.
Having a reversible centre column, so you can point it straight down, is the most important thing.
My setup has actually changed a bit since this photo, but the principle is the same.
I now use a big esky as the lightbox, and sit the glass over the top, and use a Gitzo Explorer with a horizontal column to hold the camera.
It's also how I took this.
