take your camera and heaviest lens to the camera store and do your own research.
put it on the cheapest tripod there. if it wobbles, put it on the next cheapest. so on and so forth.

Whoa, now. I know you're stalking me, but this preemptive misquoting is getting outta hand.

For the record, I own a Manfrotto 055, not a Manfrotto 190.

Well, it is awesome. Not as awesome as a proper carbon fibre one would be, let alone a Gitzo, but still. If somebody wants recommendations on tripods, manfrottos should certainly be considered. They're cost-competitive, well built and you can get parts for them everywhere. I wouldn't recommend one if you're looking for the *cheapest stable tripod* though. There are definitely cheaper options (usually without separate head/tripod).

>>299456
This is the correct advice. If you just need *stable*, do this and see which is the cheapest for what you need.
