You originally asked how long a tripod "lived," but I think you meant "last." Almost any tripod should last a lifetime with reasonable care. A few tips I can think of off the top of my head:
* Never overload it. A light tripod is not for a heavy camera. (This is a judgment call and hard to assess in words, but an example would be putting a 4x5-inch view camera on a tripod intended for a 35 mm.) * If it gets wet, carefully dry it. * Keep it lightly lubricated. * If sand or other abrasives find their way into the joints, take it apart and clean it. * Try not to cross thread the socket on your camera, which will damage both the socket and the tripod screw. * Treat it like the valuable piece of equipment it is. Don't throw it in the trunk. Place it in the trunk.
* Don't overstress the legs. They can only open up to the stops. You can bend or break a leg on even a heavily built tripod.
Take care of your tripod and it should take care of you.
in gymnastics the term tripod means a certain move that gymnastics do. When doing a tripod one stands on their head with their head framing one leg of the tripod, and their two hands making the other two legs of the tripod.

A tripod with wheels is called a tripod dolly.
Depending on what brand you get a flexible tripod can be just as sturdy. The benefit of the flexible tripod is that they usually don't break as easily. I have owned a flexible tripod for 2 years now and have not had one problem with it. I have had one with adjustable legs in the past and it broke after 6 months. I would recommend an adjustable tripod so you make sure it will last and you get your moneys worth.
