If you buy one of those you most likely be posting soon thereafter complaining about your cheap pos tripod.

The controls will most likely be clunky and not very precise. Will it support your gear, yes. As you progress in your photography will you grow to hate your cheap tripod, yes. If it comes with some type of quick release system that will be its weakest point. Also, don't use it with the center column extended, as it will certainly not be very stable when fully extended. Ballheads are generally preferred for their ease of use and range of motion.

Anyone know anything about these models? There's also a Soligor T170BK tripod at $40. Maybe a better purchase? My heaviest gear is an XSi with a 55-250 IS and perhaps a YN-467 flash. Pure junk.
