I must admit that I am not familiar with this particular lens but it seems that the Soligor 450 comes with a tripod collar. So at least in theory you should be able to balance the lens + camera on the ball head, which would be optimal, otherwise you will always be dealing with creep regardless of how expensive the tripod and head are.
What is your budget?
For my 2 cents I am gonna recommend the Vanguard Alta Pro, the older version. You can buy the 263AB kit ,which is the 263 AT tripod plus the SBH-100 ball head, for about 120-30 $ on Amazon. Vanguard claims that the kit can support 15.4 pounds or 7kg. The older version comes with spikes which can be "hidden" or exposed buy adjusting rubber knobs on the bottom of the legs, the newer Alta Pro 2 series requires you to buy the spikes separately. Additionally the middle column can be rotated to horizontal which is always nice if you want to get low. I'm recommending the 263AB because I own one but also because I am not aware of any other similar "bang for the buck" tripod bundles at this pricepoint.
