depends what you want to use it for
i just bought a $20 tripod.. yes its flimsy.. but it still works fine.. just dont bump it.
Strong= lots of metal = heavy OR flimsy = little material = light
i chose a cheap one because its very light and i can carry it ip mountains and into the bush when i go hiking/tramping ..and it suited my budget and level of experience.
portrait photography will require a different tripod to bush/landscape photography.
unless you feel like carrying a massive Manfrotto up a mountainside.
is it worth it?
BUT you do have a fairly weighty camera.. (shrug)
