I think this hammock stand is for hikers and motorcycle campers. So if you add 2 feet to the poles, you increase pack size and add ounces.
The Hang Calculator tells me that with a 10' hammock I can still get to a sit height of 15'', which is not bad.
I wish I had this stand with me last fall in Ireland, it would have kept me off the ground a number of times.
