Basic Tripod
 

Hey guys,

What should I be looking for when I check out some tripods?
I had my Canon XSi out the other night trying to get some shots of the northern lights, but I was getting really frustrated by the radio shack special tripod I was using.

Do you guys have any suggestions on tripods that aren't a ton of money that will hold my XSi with the 55-250mm lens?

And just for checking out this thread, he's the best shot I came out with that night. Pretty much the first time i've used the camera at night.
