Try the Libec TH-650. I think it's sold as the Bescor TH-770 or something like that in the US. Also the Matthews M25, which shares some parts with the above models. It's about the best value tripod you'll find anywhere. I prefer mine over some of the Manfrotto's which cost 3x as much, though it's not terribly durable and will not last 20+ years like a good tripod will. Mine's 3 years old and starting to feel a bit tired, though to be fair it has been treated terribly, and used outdoors alot especially around salt water.
 
Don't underestimate the power of a good set of sticks. This setup is a little more than you want to spend, but it's well worth it. I have beat the crap out of mine for 6 years and it's still going strong.

The height of the tripod extends well above my head and the fluid head is nice and smooth.
 
IMHO the VZ-TK75A is as good as the manfrotto 501 for a fraction of the price. Used both many times.
