I shopped around and got my SLik 700DX (with head) for about £85. Definately well worth it. Very solid and smooth mount.
Cheap tripods are fine for normal digital cameras, but if you are wanting to put anything bigger on they just don't work well. A tripod is supposed to provide a steady base to shoot on, and cheap plastic just bends too easily.
But at around £10 for a tripod, it will do you fine for a while.
