there are tripods for US$2500 - then there are tripods for US$25
It all depends on what you want to do with the tripod and how heavy the camera is when mounted on the tripod.
If you have a light point and shoot then you can get away with buying a cheap tripod - with regards to the head all you need is one that can pan and tilt - some come with spirit levels if you want to get fancy. If you also plan to use it for video then look for one with the fluid head so that panning and tilting motion is smooth and not jerky.
If you have a heavy SLR with a heavy flash and heavy lens then you need a heavy tripod to hold it up. Lock up metal head assembly to handle the leverage and strong, sturdy legs with good adjustment locks.
Heavy tripods work well in high
If you need heavy duty and still need it light (you may need to tote it around while hiking for example) then you need to fork out the $$$ and buy a professional carbon fibre tripod.
A brand you can swear by for photography mounting devices like tripods and monopods is Bogen/Manfrotto - pricey but worth it and lasts a lifetime.
A monopod is just one leg, so you need to hold it up, it just offers stability in low light or telephoto shooting - a tripod however can stand on its own.
My advice is to go and buy an el cheapo Samsonite or Sony tripod and destroy that first before looking at the expensive ones. After all its just to hold the camera still.
More important IMO than having the world's best tripod: Remember when using a tripod it is best to either use a remote for the shutter or set your camera drive to "timer" so that you are not touching the camera when the photo is taken - this reduced any chance of shake or vibration.
And if you REALLY want to look all "sports-up" and "Blinged-out", then you should be looking at Gitzo Tripods
