RE: "Diadvantages" of a 10" stabilizer?
most likely wont fit in your case...either have to unscrew it or use a quick disconnector.
more likely to bump or snag something on stand...though i really dont see that as a problem..just heard of it. theres nothing but air infront my my stand...
i ended up going witha 7" doinker...but i really like it. i do have to take it off in my case..but thats no big deal.
