Tripod for Canon 5d Mark II?

I've been looking around at lots of different tripods for my new Canon 5d Mark II (with 50mm f/1.4 lens), and I think I've decided on one. However, I know practically nothing about the difference between good & bad tripods.

It is a decent tripod that will last your lifetime if properly cared for. I looked at that one before and the only thing I didn't like about it was the wing-nut locks.

BHPhoto is a good vendor, and Manfrotto is a good brand. Which is absolutely best can be hard to say. Heavier is better in use but harder in transport. Some like tilt/pan heads more than ball heads.
The one you are looking at should be good.

The listed tripod is a good one and is sturdy.

The "ball" head could be problematic when attempting to get an accurate level setting and not at all helpful if you are shooting video.
