Recommend me a tripod please!!

[Smurf.]

I have recently purchased my first DSLR (DSLT) Sony A65 .... I am looking for 2 tripods (or one if it can do both requirements!):

I want one tripod for video shooting, most likely desktop shooting indoors (for youtube) and another to use outdoors for video and taking stills.

What tripods are the best value out there at the moment and could you point me to any deals?

Thanks

For top quality and value you can't beat Redsnapper, I have one of their tripod/ballhead combos and it's excellent. However for a typical day out somewhere it's too heavy to lug around so I now have a Gitzo Traveller with a Redsnapper RSH-60 ballhead, light enough to carry all day and with a camera bag hung on it plenty stable. The downside of course is the cost, but I find that the advantage of having a tripod with me far outweighs the cost. I saw some Manfrotto carbon tripods on sale at my local Jessops the other day, down to @ £99, maybe worth a look.

Edit, forgot to mention 10% off for TP members at Redsnapper!

That RS-324 & RSH-528 Head deal looks good. Im also on the hunt for a decent tripod and think I will go with this over the Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod Black with 804RC2 Head. As this one from redsnapper is cheaper and lighter. Win!
