Where can I find a good tripod for cheap?

[RebelD]

Ok, so I learned my lesson I bought a 30 dollar tripod from Walmart and during filming, it was the biggest purchase mistake of my life! The tripod's already stiripped and I've only used it three times! Can anyone help me out and give me some advice for a pretty good tripod without breaking the bank! I've mostly been doing weddings and some music videos here and there! Thanks!

Well for one, when you say 'breaking the bank' how much are you looking to spend?

Based off a few recommdations I received, I just purchased a Velbon DV-7000 off of B&H Photo with the case for about $140+ after shipping. Check my thread I posted not to long ago.
