You don't have to spend allot of money to get a good tripod. Just make sure its sturdy enough to support the weight of you camera with all the attachments. Also if you can get one with a leveler in the middle and on the sides to make sure your camera is straight is a good idea

Depends what you want to use it for? If it is for landscape, for example then manfrotto are excellent. If its for close ups say of plants, fungi etc then a benbo tripod is excellent since the camera can be under-slung. If its just general photography then no need to spend a lot of money. Maybe you should be considering the type of head that you want on the tripod rather than the tripod itself. If its going to be carried up hills, consider a carbon fibre tripod. Hope this helps

I go for manfrotto - the one with a ball head.
But you have to have some foresight in buying. The tripods are designed to handle a limited weight. If you plan to add to your camera an external flash, vertical grip, and a huge lens, you will need to spend on a strong tripod that can handle the entire weight

Ditto, Manfrotto makes fine tripods...

Gitzo G-1349 Inter Pro carbon fiber is the cats' meow. An Arca Swiss B1 head and you've got the best combo around.

Any tripod made by Manfrotto would be a good investment.

One of the best that is about is Manfrotto. I would also go to the focus show to see what is out there.
