About buying tripod

[sin77]

I have an old tripod which is very heavy.
Now thinking of getting another one, be it new or 2nd hand.
My budget is cheap cheap.... $20-50?

Then i saw some postings about bipod.
When i do image search over yahoo, it showed me alot of machine gun bipods!
So i went to search monopod.
I wonder is it good?

With my kind of budget can i get a decent tripod?
Maybe like detachable head?

Nowadays I see many lightweight tripod, are they recommendable?
If camera is not pns, do u think the light weight is risky? ie wind blow and fall down

I wonder anyone selling a decent tripod at good price? i dont mind 2nd hand if the condition is good

...What do you want the tripod/monopod/bipod for?

For tripods, other than brand premiums, you generally pay for what you get. What is your setup? $20 to $50 is wait long long, for brand new tripod which is decent for DSLR.
