I use the manfrotto 190. Decent tripod without being too expensive. About €180. However, its the tripod head which is the crucial bit and a good one is expensive. What type is very dependent on the photographer so you may want to leave that purchase up to your son.

I have this - http://berminghamcameras.ie/slik-amt-pro-400dx.html

It does the job just fine - has both vertical and horizontal controls and sturdy legs. Not too heavy either, good balance.
