Cumbersome
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.

Height may make it uncomfortable to use
This Ravelli tripod is only 54.5" (1.38m) high when fully extended, which may make you need to bend your body a lot when using it.

Its weight and sturdy build keep the tripod stable at all times, allowing you to easily take high quality shots on uneven and/or soft terrain.

Con
•••
Uncommon head size
This tripod uses a 65 mm head, as opposed to the commonly used 75 mm head. The reduced surface can make affixing large pieces of equipment tricky and, if they don't fit properly, you won't be able to move the head around.

You have to be careful when using it
When setting up the tripod on any surface, you should avoid putting weight on it, because the legs will spread and bend. This can cause the tripod to lose balance and potentially damage the equipment.

Great for travel
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.

Con
•••
Not suited for heavy equipment
You won't be able to use heavy cameras and/or lenses, because this tripod can only support 15lbs (6.8kg). Exceeding this weight will considerably reduce the stability, especially when the legs are fully extended.

Good for panning shots
The ball head mount has very soft resistance, allowing for better control. This helps immensely in taking very smooth panning shots with a camcorder.

Con
•••
Lacks stability for confident professional use
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.

Easy to level
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.

Foam grips for added comfort
This tripod is comfortable to use even in cold weather thanks to its foam grips. You won't have to feel the unpleasant sensation of cold metal when using it.
