I suggest that you start off by learning how to use the "Search" function on this forum. We have literally dozens of "recommend me a tripod" threads that you can get advice from.
Just head down to one of the popular shops liek TK Foto/Cathay Photo and try them out to ur heart content before u commit to a purchase. depending on ur budget and requirement, it should range from $150 to $ 1500, Manfrotto, Sirui, Benro, Gitzo, Silk are a few brands to consider. HTH
