Tripod under $50

Hello, all I am looking for a decent tripod that is under $50. It has to be decently built and and have a decent height, maybe 50" and upward. Thanks!

Edit: Give it a chuckle if you get it

he said under $50 that doesn't mean more near 50. the vivitar tripod was $10 and worked, I suggested something more leaning twords the seriously low

                                     low

                                          low 

                                               budget that I started with.

What are planning on putting on this thing? Most tripods are rated for only a certain weight.

Are you planning on using it for photo or video? There are some differences between those.
And like @Silvercall said how much weight are you putting on it?

yeah this is important, fluid vs ball head. triopo makes good budget ones, hama as well, even some Cullmann can be found for decent prices- I don't know do they sell those in the states though. Or you could order the korean monster beike (ebay has some nice models).

I would avoid cheap tripods from well known brands ( these are usually overpriced) like manfrotto or vanguard ( gitzo or benro doesn't even make those cheap ones). I am also in the market for tripod, and it's driving me crazy. In my country prices are insane so if anyone knows an european based store with good prices that delivers inside the EU let me know.
