downside for this light-weight, low-priced tripod is that it is not suitable for slrs with heavy lenses.
from www.adorama.com
i use a lot of night vision, and long range lens's, these get heavy on the tilt pan head of the tripod, and it starts to move, or bend over time.
from www.pricegrabber.com
also i use it for my old seagull df300 35mm slr professional camera (much heavy), it was stable under 50 inches height.
from www.pricegrabber.com
plastic body makes it fragile, but this is the tradeoff for light-weight.
from "malakaitran", www.bhphotovideo.com

in terms of the "cons" related to this product, the #1 is (quite obviously) that it is a heavy tripod and not something you'd want to lug around when camping or such.

it's my 1st good tripod and i've only had it a month, but it worked well the few times i've used it for close to the ground nature photography.
from www.amazon.com
my first impression of the tripod was weight, this is not a light tripod, and while i hiked with it, i wouldn't recommend it for backpacking.
