Backpacking and Camera Tripod

OK let's bring an old thread back to life. I'm doing a little trip coming up in a few weeks and would like to pick a decent tripod to pack. I This is what i was thinking. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Professiona...61119433181?pt=US_Tripods&hash=item3ccbee59dd
I'd love hear opinions on it in general. Not made of money, $150 looks pretty good.
Most of the times on trail I'll probably be using point and shoot, but I may "push" this tripod from time to time with DSLR. My biggest lens is 80-200 2.8. But of course that's the biggest and the extreme one for my uses and it looks like it will work for this lens in optimal conditions. I love the idea that it can also be a monopod. I quite often use a monopod.
