Years ago I remember a reporter ask a representative of Lotus at the motor show the following question, 'If the speed limit is 70mph in the United Kingdom...why are Lotus making cars that perform to 140mph?' The Lotus rep answered with...'If we design a car that can go well at 140mph then it will perform twice as well at 70mph'

So, if a tripod is stable at eight feet then it should be twice as stable at four feet.
