tripod have some basic things to understand 
(which I came to know recently)
1. Weight the tripod can support ( according to your gears...more support=costlier)
2. total height of tripod fully stretched ( vary from 150mm to 165mm)
3. folded length of tripod ( smaller = easier to carry)
4. number of leg section ( 3 or 4 ...here 3 is better for stability)
5. weight of tripod ...lighter alumunium tripod r less strudy and have less weight carry capacity but heavier r not easy to carry...carbon fiber is the solution but very costly
6. cheap tripods have legs attached to center column soo legs are not flexible as compared to tripods where legs r independent
7. Ball head and pan head...cheap tripods mostly come with 3 way pan head where u can move the DSLR 3 ways....ball head can move tripod at any direction freely.
8. 3-4k above tripods have option of removable heads ...that means u can buy new ball heads as per ur need and fit it
BTW my budget was just 3k soo I ordered Vanguard ESPOD 203AP with MH2 pan head...waiting for delivery

Probability of sighting a tiger is more in Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Ranthambore than other places. Rest is luck. Sometimes people stay for 10 days without success. My luck was we saw it in first 15 minutes! My badluck was I wasnt a serious photographer then. Tiger was less than 2 meters away from me for more than an hour and couldnt even clilck a single decent pic with my p&s cam. All came out blurry. Was quite frustrating. Thats when I took photography seriously.
