I got this one:
https://www.amazon.ca/Vanguard-VAVEO...PPZXCQQ2ENA3BW

I think the Camera Store has it $10 cheaper, and you can go check it out. I chose this because I wanted something small enough to be portable for travel, and this is very compact with the extra leg segment. It is sturdy enough for my D7100 with 18-200 lens, but on the lighter side of most. I wanted the snap lock legs, not the twist. I've strapped it to my camera backpack and taken it biking without much issue. It's also a couple pounds lighter than the one you selected.

Honestly for a tripod of this price, I'd go to the Camera Store and get hands on with them, see what you like. Which is what I did, then told my wife to buy it for my birthday

. They have a few of the Vangaurds and Manfroto in this price range.
