Can anyone recommend a nice, cheap tripod?

Just looking for a cheap (€20 or less hopefully) tripod and where the best place to get it from would be (online or highstreet). Need it for getting into night photography with my digi. Be handy if it was light and folded up quite small too since I'll have it with me on the mountain bike.

thanks

Oh yeah, I'd like the moon on a stick too if anybody has it going

I got a decent Canon one from Bermingham cameras for about €30 (if memory serves) - lightweight aluminium tube thing....very good quality

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm guessing that's in Dublin then. Should of specified I'm in the deep south (Cork)
Spotted this- Hama Star 61. Sounds cheap and cheerful, worth getting?

for photo work its prolly okay, but if your planning on doing any video work on it its not worth it

plastiky construction, and terrible panning

Only for photography. Decided to get something a bit better. I'll have a look round the shops in Cork & if I see something I like...
