I didn't know to post this in the endless photo thread or here, but it seems like this might be the start of a good gear type thread...so here.
Anyway, I need/want a tripod. I've looked at all kinds online and read lots, and was getting a little overwhelmed with info. when I saw this recommendation. A Wirecutter article ranked it their best buy. I'd like it if I didn't have to spend much more than this and I'm getting tired of looking.
I'd be using it for landscapes for the most part, with the possibility of wildlife shots as well. I'd do a bit of hiking with it, but more out of vehicle use. Seem like a good all round tripod for a relative noob? Any reason not to get this particular one, or recommend something better around the same price?
