those sony tripods are not for SLR, they are too light and fragile. You put a $800 camera on a $80 tripod, if the tripod tripped your camera is gone, doesn't worth it.
why some tripod are $1000 plus? I know some comes with the remote but it is not that expensive... wonder what feature does that 1000 dollars have...

WHY ??
STATUS !!! LOL
Main different .. MADE IN ITALY / MADE IN GERMANY !! ( just like car )
Of course material too .. Carbon Fibre Made in Italy tripod .. easy $800-1000 .. then plus $300-500 for a good head ..
However, for half the price, ( or 1/3 if u buy in HK/China ) those china brand, such as Benro .. ~ $300-400, you can get a top grade carbon heavy duty tripod, ( look and feel the same as Git! almost ) and for ~ $100-150, can get a top notch head as well, can handle 25-30lbs.
But for general speaking, ~ $250 can get you a decent tripod+head kit. (ie manfrotto 190 )
