Cheapest and strongest will be to find a concrete ledge to put your camera. Sure won't move.

If you need some movement, NEA trashcans also work very well.

If you can spare slightly more money (within your budget), try Benro tripods or similar China stuff.

Regards
use the search engine however take note cheap and yet strong means it will be heavy and big.

for $140-ish can check out the made in japan Slik U212 tripod + pan and tilt head. http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=450021

I was thinking, how heavy u want ur tripod to hold?

U can check out some Benro ones. in my opinion, they are pretty gd for value for most consumers.
