So, I need to find a sufficient tripod for my new setup

So, having recently decided to purchase an M2 setup, a monitor, and a mattebox... I've realized that I'll be needing better support than I have currently. I'll be using the setup with a Canon A1, and I need the cheapest barebones tripod that will support all this weight for now. It's basically a placeholder tripod until I collect some more funds in a couple months, because somehow, i don't feel comfortable doing all my shoots shoulder mounted. Essentially I need some recommendations on low-priced tripods that can support this sort of rig. I probably don't even need a fluid head, I might pan once or twice with it, but most of our moving shots are done shoulder mounted. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks alot everyone! :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)
 
I'm in the same boat, although I do want a tripod that can do nice smooth pans. Need a recommendation for both the sticks and the head itself. SGpro + DVX + enough room in the payload to handle an external monitor, a follow-focus, and maybe a flip module in the future. Don't really want to spend more than around $1,000 on it. Any recommendations for tripods in that range would be much appreciated. If what I'm asking for isn't really possible at that price level, any other recommendations are good too. I don't want to spend that much money on something I'm still going to want to replace down the line, so if I have to pay a little extra I'll consider it.
