Disadvantage: ... ideally: because when my delivery was the plate on the tripod from the outset something went wrong and I had to solve the wood screws of the plate, to foist a small wedge and so the whole back just screw together.
Also, I have a precaution again tightened some other wood screws of the tripod - they had worked loose during transport something.
On delivery you should be there and not to bother the neighbors assumption: all comes in two parts (advantage during assembly) in a washing machine large cardboard box without other fillers / cushions (hence probably the slightly loosened screws) !!! At least the tripod would have been screwed only partially, to send something flat and so the whole thing in a smaller box: here was saved. But for the assembly is also relatively simple.
