That looks like an ok tripod but I would check your options and make certain to get one that fits your needs. I added some website links below so you could check your options. A tripod is perhaps the most underrated tool that is available to a photographer so get one that works best for you.
When shopping you should get some information like:
*How much weight the tripod can hold.
*How high does it extend.
*How low does it set up at.
*How small folds down to and its weight.
The 1st link is to a list of tripods from lower price to higher price at B&H Photo, if you see one you like you can also check other sites like Amazon or someplace else. I added a some extra seller website links in case your interested.
Hope this helps.
