If you're indoors and there's no air currents you'll be fine but if there's any kind of breeze, you'll want the tripod set at it's more stable positions and that is when the center post is at its lowest point. When you're doing lots of long exposure shots, that extra stability can really make a difference. That's why I like these taller tripods, so much easier on your back (or at least on my back, that is <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> )</p></blockquote><p></p>
