Nice welcome!!!
Tripod...it depend on a lot stuff....is weight an issue?, what are you mostly go use it for? how much are you will to spend?
I wanted something lightweight and strong. I don't want to cheap out on tripod. My friend got a $30 one and messed it up in no time. Probably no more that $150. I'm going to be using it for mostly car pics.

^ haha peter...the tripod man. I rarely use my tripods so i just use the cheapies, but $150 will get you a good one that hopefully will last you, even if you do use it frequently and handle it somewhat roughly.
Yeah... I don't need anything hella fancy. I'm no professional photographer.

Alright sorry about that...but to where i left off is....you need to buy CF trip ( $600) and manfrotto ball head for $360!!!! hahaha j/k
But if you are looking for great price I would recommend the manfrotto 190XDB that around $100 and the ball head 486 w/ quick release that about $70 some looking around $170 +/- $10 (depending on places), but that still to much you can try this from calumet....Calumet 7100 Tripod with Three-way Quick Release Head - CK7114 - CK7114 it alright trip, it get the job done...built factor is nice too.
