The Ravelli AVTP Pro weighs 10.8 pounds (4.89 kg) and can be very tiring to move around for extended periods of time. This means it's best to use it only for studio or location shooting, where it doesn't need to be moved around too much.

This tripod is light (5.38 lbs/2.44 kg) and short ( 28.5"/ 72 cm) when retracted. This makes it easy to take with you wherever you go, since you won't tire out easily while carrying and it won't take up much space either.

This tripod's design sacrifices strength and stability to have a lower weight, making it topple easily with a strong push. This can be quite unnerving when using professional equipment, which tends to be really expensive.
This Vanguard tripod has bubble levels, which makes getting a good shot on uneven surfaces much easier. This also saves a lot of time, if you like moving inbetween shots.
