Tripod for binoculars

I recently purchased a set of 10x50 binoculars (Nikon Action 7), and have spent the last few clear nights out absolutely loving them, looking at Jupiter's moons, getting a closer look at the Orion Nebula, Pleiades, Omega Centauri etc.

I'm now looking to pick up a tripod and adapter so I can get a more stable look at things. I've had a brief check online, found a tripod adapter for about $15, so no trouble there, but I'm not sure what I should be looking for in a tripod.

I see tripods ranging from around $100 up to many hundreds. Is it worth spending a lot more? What features should I be looking for? Are there any reputable models/brands people could recommend? Any help would be much appreciated.
