I use some (190B, 141RC and 3416 leveling base and some other (monopod)) products. Very good brand - good value for money. The NAT means it green, has spiky feet (optional on other tripods) and rubber on the upper legs - I believe. Perhaps the ball head is to tiny for the 67, as someone suggested.

I don't understand "tracking a subject while focusing manually and adjusting aperture" when using a tripod. Ball heads are supposed to hold a camera/lens STILL, not be supports to track motion. If you want a support for tracking sports and other moving subjects, use a pan head or a monopod. I also can't imagine adjusting the aperture at the same time as tracking a subject and focusing. Why would you ever do that? For cine/video work, you should use a 3 axis pan head, instead of a ball head, which is designed to allow horizontal or vertical movement with improved stability.
