    Let's see...65GBP=131.80USD so there's quite a bit out there for you. My guess is then you will be looking at pan/tilt heads b/c a good ballhead will easily get out of that price range. You can take a look at the Bogen/Manfrotto 390RC2, which will run you approx 24GBP. The Giottos MT9251 is a great aluminum legs set which will bring you to 69GBP, very close to your budget.

    I would go to a store which cater to professional photographer and see what they have in your price range, be very nice and then see what the big chain camera stores have. I bet that the professional camera store will have better tripods than the big chain stores have, and maybe even cheaper.
