Reddit mentions of Manfrotto MT190XPRO4 Aluminum 4-Section Tripod ,Black

Hi all, I'm looking for suggestions for a good stable tripod for my camera. When I was starting out, I just picked up an Amazon Basics tripod that was able to do "well enough" as a newbie with a Sky-Watcher star adventurer mount, my Nikon body and kit lens. However, since then I've picked up some faster glass that's also a bit heavier, and it's become abundantly clear that a better tripod is called for.


All of my current gear weights just under 10 lbs, but if there's a good recommendation that can support in the 15 - 20 lb range so I have some room for growth/margin, I think that would be perfect for me.


Would anything from Manfrotto be a good choice? Randomly searching on Amazon has led me to: https://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-190XPRO-Aluminum-4-Section-MT190XPRO4/dp/B00G36G9Q4

What do you guys think of this tripod?

I have only ever owned carbon fiber legs in the past (sold them), but this model seems to be really good. They seem more appealing than the 055's due to size and weight.

Also, how about this ballhead?

I used to own a Markins Q3 Email ($289) and absolutely loved it! Looking for a decent budget ballhead for now, and this one seems really popular.

At most, the tripod would hold maybe a DX Nikon with 70-200 VR. This setup seems like overkill for that light weight.

Any input is appreciated!
