You fit tripods to your maximum load setup, not to your camera.

[TMC]

when you add your flash, your heaviest lens, your camera body, and the weight of the tripod head together; what is the total weight? That would determine your suitable tripod.

$100 is hardly enough for a suitable tripod

[net-g]

Slik Sprint Pro costs less than $100 with included ballhead. Works well for most purposes and light enough for travelling. Of course, it's not recommended if you have those big f/2.8 zoom lenses.

You got to get the total weight for your camera body + heavest lens + etc + ball head.
Then go search for your prefer tripod+ball head that you need.

For light tripod may have to secure it to the group. you dont want your camera to drop.

Setup = or < 4kg, Slik 330 or 340 is a good buy, it's light and good as travel tripod too, if budget is $100 buy second hand but do change to better tripod head.
