I have an opinion which is somewhat contrary. It is that if you are on a tight budget, then you can't afford to waste money - which is exactly what people do when they buy on price. You buy something, hoping it will be adequate and when its not you spend money moving up the chain until finally you buy what you should have bought in the first place... only you have spent something approaching DOUBLE the cost of your final equipment by wasting all that money on the lower-chain items. It think people tend to do this with both tripods and the heads they put on them. Sadly, this is not an original thought: http://www.bythom.com/support.htm
