I bought this tripodand received it today.
It is amazing for the price!
It is very nice, great quality, VERY Sturdy!
If you need a HEAVY Duty tripod, for a fraction of the cost, get This one
edit...
I don't want to sound like a commercial, just want to share my excitement for a great deal.
Oh... and I am 6 foot 6 inches and it comes up to eye level with me.

That looks like a decent tripod, especially for the money. Let us know how well the head works out for you...

The head is really smooth. It locks easily and sits still as you press the shutter!
It works great if you want to turn the camera quickly and will do 360° turns.

I bought my tripod and head from amvona. I love both of them, they are very sturdy and have been perfect for me. The only thing I don't like about the head is when I'm tightening it down it moves the camera slightly, so I have learned to adjust for that when I'm framing the shot. Once everything is in place though, it is very good. The head I got also has a separate screw for rotating the entire head great for doing panoramic shots without needed to reframe, other than how far to move over. I hope you enjoy yours.

I have a DynaTran (Amvona), too ... sturdy as hell and all the pro features for $86 (but it may be heavier than a feature-comparable Gitzo or Manfrotto). Mine has a trigger head (like an aircraft yoke) and while it is very quick and convenient to use (and also raises the camera viewfinder to exactly eye-level without raising the center column) it doesn't stay exactly where I release it if I have one of my heavier lenses on the camera, so I do like Travis and release it expecting a tad bit of sag in those instances.
ETA: Mine gets pretty heavy use, and the only thing I've had to do in 2 years is tighten the leg clamps once. The quick release plate is solid and I have no worries carrying the camera hanging off the tripod even with a heavy lens on it.
