That extension (in the photo) could have been held for a while.

When getting it up that high, slow and steady is the way to go. Once your up that high, it's not too difficult to hold in place. The hard part is continuing - being able to pull out more tape without disturbing what you are balancing up above. Especially when everyone around you is laughing and making you laugh.
There actually comes a point when you can no longer just let the tape bend away from you. You have to actually counter-balance it, meaning it points towards you and bends over you, before bending away from you. So if this period is my hand/arm ---> . and this is the tape measure ---> ( it would look something like this ---> .( coming toward me first, and then bending away.
