Tripods

[Tak]

So I've been thinking of getting one for a while now - I'd love to be able to get more photos of me and the rats for starters and then there is the fact I shake a fair bit when using zoom.

I don't want anything too expensive (as I don't really have the money) or heavy/big (as I would probably not use it as much and want to be able to take it about with me).
I only have a Finepix F31fd but Mic has a S6500fd and may want to have a go using whatever tripod I get.

The ones I've been looking at are Gorillapod and Travel

I am looking at the £25 max mark.

Any advice, suggestions, pointers, etc would be great
