Best travel tripod under $125?

You have to get them based on the maximum weight they will be supporting. They might not break, but they will not keep the camera steady enough on low shutter speed shots.

That's especially true of metal tripods as they transmit vibrations easily. The general rule of thumb is to get a tripod that will support twice the weight of your heaviest camera/lens combo. One thing people forget too, is that if you put a bag from the bottom center post hook with rocks or other things to add weight to stabilize the pod, that has to be factored in as well
