What camera are you using ? Weight of camera + accessories ?
Whats your budget ?

As i am new to photography, i do not have much accessories....
Will be getting a Nikon F80 soon with a 50mm f/1.8 for a start.

Budget wise would not like to spend too much on it maybe around 100-200 plus.

Then perhaps the manfrotto 190 series tripod For the Manfrotto 190proB, cost should be around $150 or below.

since we are talking bot tripod .. i need to ask ...if u guy dont mind...
is it adviceable to get a monopod ... for me i kinda not have steady hands due to medication and to set up a tripod for like pic taken with shutter 1/20 to 1/60 in the day i kinda a hassle ... would a monopod be more suited for my situation?

thanks

the heaviest you can afford to pay and still carry around...

dun waste money on those cheapo light tripods and lose the stability.
