Replying to Hate to gape but... need help with tripods

I understand how gaper this sounds so dont judge.


I honestly dont understand why tripods cost so much/why I should pay so much for a tripod. I understand durability but what other benefits do non-cheap tripods serve. money is wicked tight right now so i'm all ways looking to save

also if you guys could reccomend me tripods itd be great. I would mostly film with the tripod but I do take pics from time to time.
+K for solid answers.
