i dunno your budget but gitzo or manfrotto.. 4digits:P

A manfrotto does not necessarily cost 4 digits.

I got a 190ProB and a 286 RCII Ballhead for under RM600.
It is steady enough to hold a budget RM800 telephoto on a D70 at 300mm for a 15 second exposure outdoors with a moderate amount of wind.

I suggest you visit Eng Tong, they are a distributor for the tripods and gave the best price i've come across.
Whatever it is, try to get a good ballhead. It will make your life alot easier.

manfrotto 190 legs are one of the most affordable and best tripods around... get it with a 141RC or ball head, which ever floats your boat.

me personally have the 055 + 141RC + 222RC. i can change the head depending on which camera i am using and what type of photos i am doing.

it's good... but heavy.
