Don't waste your cash.. Buy a decent one second hand, there are no "good" cheap tripods, they're all crap. Other than that, I've got 3 cheap tripods you can buy off me.. How do you think I know? Eventually I realised that there ws no way round it.. Cheap tripods = Blurred photos.

I've actialy got a Manfrotto for sale if you are interested and prepare to pay a reasonable price.. Only reason I'm selling is cos it's too short for me.

You're about to pay the tripod tax. It's a tax for learning you get what you pay for. Seriously, it took me about $150 in "cheap" tripods before I learned this lesson. Which means my $300 Manfrotto actually cost me $450. I'm all about budget gear, but this is one area where you want to splurge. Save up, unless you want to pay more in the long run.
