To all of the photo experts here... what makes the differences between a $20 tripod and a $200 tripod? I have a budget model that is probably ~10 years old and it has worked fine, although the vertical height adjustment dial has broken off (lost) and the camera platform plastic is broken (still functional though).
My 11yo son is REALLY into making short films (he has his own Youtube channel) and I want to buy him his own tripod. Part of the reason mine is cracked/broken in places is because it has routinely been carried around to all sorts of filming locations throughout this year. I don't necessarily think he needs a trigger-grip or ball model, but I do want something that gives him some different angle options for shooting video. Any suggestions are appreciated!
