Pros: Nothing, apart from compactness

Cons: Almost everything...

Opinion: A tripod MUST be stable, otherwise it is useless to take it with you: if it is valid it lasts a lifetime and you use it with pleasure, despite the weight (carbon aside) and the bulk that often accompany the most robust models. For this I normally use the "mythical" 055C purchased centuries ago and the 290-xtra with lighter loads, always by Manfrotto. The MKC3-H01 is too thin and can only be used with compact cameras or extending it to a minimum, for "razor" macro photos. The height of 154cm is useless if then the whole set "dances" at the slightest gust of wind or simply by pressing the shutter button. It can well be said: "little expense, little yield"...

Pros: Lightness, small dimensions when closed, maximum length when extended, quick release plate.

Cons: Maximum load. Locking systems. Ergonomic grip joystick.

Opinion: I bought this tripod for my first entry level, a Canon EOS 450D. The maximum load of 1.5 kg immediately proved to be not really suitable for any SLR, albeit light and with a simple 18-55 mounted on top. Now I have a Nikon D600 and I absolutely had to replace it with another Manfrotto. I liked the idea of the ergonomic grip but over time it turned out to be more uncomfortable than many other heads and even the locking systems never gave much security. Among the positive notes, in addition to being light, the measures when closed and at maximum extension still reaching an excellent height. The quick release plate is very convenient and firm when fixed. Not everyone knows it but the head despite being fixed, removing the rubber at the bottom, can be pulled out with the whole column and turn into an excellent grip to shoot videos.

Pros: fairly small size

Cons: locking system malfunctioning, unstable

Opinion: I've had this tripod, and I state that I made the grave mistake of using it with the camera. The dimensions are contained considering the fact that it has a maximum extension to 1:54, but it is absolutely uncomfortable to use, not very precise and the locking system is completely inadequate for any SLR. Its only use is for the use of compact cameras.
