Look used; tripods can often be picked up for fifty cents on the dollar on Craig's List. Look for names like Manfrotto, Gitzo, Really Right Stuff, and Benro. Choose one which is capable of supporting twice the weight of your heaviest lens/body combination and remember that on better tripods, heads and legs are two separate items.

Thank you for the response I just need a descent tripod for my small studio I'm shooting with a Nikon D7200Decent; probably not skookum enough for say a big 2.8 tele-prime or super-zoom, but for consumer bodies and lenses? That'll do nicely.
Thank you I'll take a look.I splurged for a Vanguard Alta Pro 2. I'd happily recommend that brand after trying out some sub-par Chinese alternatives.

For studio work, you are not carrying it around, so you don't need a light tripod. In that case, the less expensive aluminum tripods would fit your budget. vs. the expensive and lighter carbon fiber tripods.
Then get it used, and save even more.
I suppose it makes more sense to ask people with the knowledge here than to flounder around on the web.There's this cool new internet site that allows you to search for stuff. Not sure if the spelling is correct but I believe it's called GOOGLE. (please note this is stated as remedial humor)

I got a great deal off CraigsList. I think my Bogen/Manfrotto was only $50.
