I am 5' 10" and a tiny bit, when my camera is mounted on a ballhead on the 055CXPRO3 with no column extension the viewfinder is 5' 4.5", it lines up perfectly with my eye when standing straight, no bending or stooping, obviously it depends entirely on how tall you are, how tall you camera and ballhead are etc. In the field I normally find myself not extending to max leg length anyway, I find it is a touch too tall to do fast panning and for landscapes and scenics it is generally much too tall.
As a good tripod recommendation, not too expensive, not throwaway, not likely to be outgrown quickly, hold its value well, the 055CXPRO3 is very difficult to not recommend. If mine got stolen tomorrow I'd buy another without question.
a micro HDMI, mini microphone jack, and mini-jack headphone. I laughed a lot. ;D ;D ;D Why so small as a toy? If I had a body like C100, and professional connections of fact, it could be taken seriously by many people with low budget. 
They are pretty soft wide open. Luckily I got each lens and parts for $418 and $410, respectively. I'm going to ask some of my friends if they'd be willing to send them in under their CPS account so at least I can get a bit of a discount on the calibration.
