Let's try these in reverse.
1. We shoot standing up because it's easier and faster than getting
down and up all the time.
I think of the times, in inclimate weather, where using a tripod still
produced less than sharp images because of hard or gusty winds.
3. Usually, unless the subject is really close, the height of the
tripod doesn't affect point of view all that much.
But a lowered tripod, implying a steadier shooting base, means sharper,
perhaps even better composed images.
Besides, a 400mm lens on a 63" platform is not going to perform up to its
capabilities.
4. Of course if you are trying to catch just the right reflection
off the lake (or river), the exact height of f the ground can make a
lot of difference.
If that is the situation, climbing higher or lower does the same thing.
