Compact tripods are very versatile since their three legs have adjustable nobs which allow a seperate set of legs to extend from the inside of the first set. As the second set of legs are released from the inside of the hollow first set, you can change the height specifically to what you are looking for, and simply adjust the nobs when you are finished measuring the height of the videocamera.
