Start at optics planet and that will put your prices on the high side. Do research and it should get cheaper from there.

Neewer is nice for the money. I have one and a ball head for another tripod, with a way heavier camera/lens than a Coolpix, and it’s been excellent.

Edit: B&H often runs deals; sign up for their emails and periodically they run some really crazy deals on equipment.

I'm pretty happy with my Monfrotto 294A3 plus ball head.

Whatever head you get, make sure it's ARCA compatible.

I've had a LOT of tripods over the years.  This one fit the bill for me nicely as it can hold any of my cameras up to I think 50ish pounds.  It's light, and very sturdy.

K&F Concept 68" Carbon Fiber Camera Tripod, D255C4.

This is what I have for my Sony A6100.  It works really nice, is light, and sturdy.
