looking for a little help from someone with more knowledge of this stand. i have read in one archival post that the footprint for most stands can be reduced by not extending the legs fully. this also increases the overall height of the stand slightly. can this be done with a bogen 3322 with it still being stable? the reason i ask is because the footprint diameter of this particular stand is 42.1 inches. that could be a little too big for me to deal with. but if i can reduce this length by not extending them fully, the problem would be eliminated. i don't want to go out and buy one and then find it is not what i wanted. thanks in advance...
