I do not. I use a Gitzo tripod which I have had for maybe eight years. It was expensive, but it is great. Using a tripod is perhaps the best thing you can use to improve your photography.

No experience, but Looking at the specs, I think it to be fairly decent - I especially like the head ! - but dislike the 5 section legs - but the 5 does make it go high - which, actually is better (stability wise) than raising the center column. - so under normal circumstances you could only deploy the 4 larger sections and still be high enough (about 58 inches by my calculations - 62 with head). The top leg section is 32mm - which means that the fourth section is 23mm and the bottom 20mm ( by my calc.)

I bought my son a ProMaster in aluminum, don't remember the model, but it is a nice unit for the money. I am not crazy about the one you referenced because of the lever locks on the legs. I prefer twist locks. Seems I am always pinching my hand with the lever locks.

Look up Gene51 on this site. He will give you some specs for choosing a tripod.
