From the Center Column review of your tripod:
"These numbers are somewhat poor, but in line with what we expect from tripods at this price point. With this kind of stiffness, the user would struggle to get sharp images with the advertised DSLR and 70-200 f/4 lens. This is not enough stiffness to adequately damp the mirror slap or prevent wind from moving the camera around. The tripod will be much more at home supporting smaller, short telephoto to wide angle lenses."

I got this Gitzo deal last year and it's a no brainer for the price. Both the tripod and monopod are extremely well made and the price is amazing.
150 wasn't cheap....globetrotter aluminum still sturdy and doing fine

Gitzo gives a life time warranty that is never needed because they are built so well. It is not quick to setup or offering any unnecessary utility other than holding my cameras secure no matter the environment. It is also a tripod that extends well above others and handles massive amounts of abuse in travel (been to places thanks to the airlines I wish had gone-went to Hawaii when I was on assignment in Columbus, Ohio).
Pay the extra if you are young it will literally last you a lifetime. If OLDER buy it as a legacy gift to your family because they are gorgeous-simple/elegant and dependable. Geez wish I could say that about myself!

If you can do that, tripod is sub-200 which is a killer deal
