I have a 3020 that I bought on ebay for a similar amount, although mine is equipped with a rather robust video head, the number of which escapes me at the moment. But I love the tripod. It's a rock. Just the thing for a 6x7. And the video head is stout, so it's quite fine for horizontals, less so for verticals. Paul
