Hello! I've been taking some videography-related college courses, and
I purchased a Sony DCR-PC350E camcorder earlier this year. I like it a
great deal, but my results have been hampered by the low quality of my
tripod; it's very cheap, because I blew most of my available money (at
the time) on the camera.

Obviously, I'm interested in purchasing a better tripod. I haven't
decided how much to spend (largely because I don't know what would
amount to overkill), and I would sincerely appreciate some suggestions
in various price ranges (within reason for a young novice).

My camcorder is extremely small and lightweight, so the tripod needn't
be capable of supporting anything large or heavy. (In other words, I
would prefer a lightweight tripod.) I don't need a LANC-enhanced
model, because I already own a LANC remote control that attaches to any
tripod grip.

I live in the United States. (Yes, I purchased a PAL camcorder for use
in the US.)

Thanks in advance!
