pros:
its simple, non expensive($150-200), and analogue stabilized with the gyros(no firmware/programming), collapsible/easy transport, I build mine of wood (pine) so there is easy to get materials, its possible to film between the arms, no need for CW-CCW props.
easy to repair (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb3HOG9LHTg)
Cons:
-more strain on each motor and propeller( the bearings takes a lot more beating)
-not that acrobatic as a quad can be.
-you have a mechanical part on the yaw... its easy to make, works great, but is vulnerable and weigh a lot on the tip of the arm.

Oh and no need for CW-CCW matched props :) that's how many of the rcg tri threads got started - "can't get matched pairs around here, so I'm building a tri".
