I admit it isn't the most expensive of tripods, but I wouldnt say it's a Compact (by your standards), extended it can reach around 6 foot, and compacts to about a foot and a half. (ish, im no good with measurements)
It should be OK.

I think what I am trying to say is, Tripods are all about stability.
The heavier and more rigid the tripod the better, especially with a telephoto lens. The lighter the tripod the greater the tendancy for movement.
If you can, try and suspend something heavy from the center of the tripod ( a bag for instance ) also use mirror lock and a cable release.
