If I'm on a beach like Chesil, the shelter will be back above the high water mark, the rod rest between shelter & water level, so even with the tips high they won't be much above eye level, from the shelter.
If I'm on a bank or rock ledge above the Bristol channel I'll keep the tips lower, so I use a shorter rest.
Do you mean the (lidl) legs are 4'6" long, or do you mean they spread to a fixed angle and at that angle the rest is 4'6" vertical height ?
