Recommend me a cheap-ish tripod

[matt3001]

Going to Iceland at the end of the month and am a very amateur fan of photography and currently use a Pansonic TZ20 (which has a fully manual mode, exposures up to 60s), and I am thinking of getting a tripod for the trip but hoping not to spend that much money.

Also as I will only be using it with a TZ20 (and possibly a TZ40 later in the year) then I don't think it will need to be too heavy and bulky?

Any other tips for nightime shots using my camera? Usually I just use f5.6 and alter the exposure length in full manual and the self timer when taking night shots at the minute. Usually just off ledges on bridges etc as they keep the camera still!

I have a manfrotto, that may be for sale. I'll post the model number when I get home
