The Manfrotto MT290XTC3US 290 Xtra Carbon Fiber Tripod extends from 12" to a maximum height of 65.2". It weighs 3.4 lb and can hold up to 22 lb of gear. The tripod's 3-section legs have flip locks to individually change the height of each leg. The locks are tension-adjustable to help maintain a tight lock over the tripod's lifespan. Four leg angles allow you to position the tripod in a variety of ways. A rubber grip on one of the legs aids in carrying the tripod, and rubber feet keep it stable on slippery surfaces. Included with the tripod is a shoulder bag for added comfort and protection during transport.

Yes, that that tripod is fine. Most prefer that a tripod be as tall has themselves. Note that this tripod without a head gets to about 65.2 inches.And this is just the tripod so you will need a video head.There are some listed below that are very good.

11 lbs limit has me concerned. My setup is a D300s with battery pack and Sigma 150-600 plus a 2lb gimball. That puts me at around 9 pounds, without any added weight I might apply by my hands on the camera. Is that too much load for this setup?
I haven't tested mine to it's limit however I would be leery of putting 9 lbs on fully extended legs. On non-extended legs it would hold 9 lbs easily.

A compatible quick release for this tripod (not ball head)?
Typically you would need to put either a ball head or pan tilt head on a tripod. Using a tripod without a head counter intuitive. Please call in to get more clarification.
