Best Tripod?
 
I don't want to spend more than 200 tops, and I want one that will extend to
about 65" high.

Buying a tripod is not all that much different than buying a pair of
comfortable sneakers. You have to try them for yourself. I bought an
excellent tripod with a pistol grip head from Calumet, but I tried my
camera on several tripods before I made a decision. Buy from a good
camera store in your area and try several with your camera equipment in
the store before you decide which tripod to buy.

There is no "best", but $200 ought to get you a nice tripod.

Can I recommend the Manfrotto 055 Pro B model ? extends upto 176cm.
Have one and very happy with it. Lighter than my Gitzo 3 and heavier than my
Carbon One 441 that I use mostly for indoor shots.
