Also personally I'm short and find it very odd when navigating a scan with a much higher tripod having to constantly look down to see where you navigate next and being so high you are equal height to top of picture frames, fridges etc.

The client had a yacht and they wanted to feature the engine room, which was a crawl space. They wanted us to go further, but the camera was set at the lowest setting on the tripod already.
