Yeah,  but you could do it to the lowest sections only.
They're the weakest, and might profit from this the most.

tripods absorb more vibration than aluminum will.

Has anyone tried filling the legs of an aluminum tripod with
expanding foam insulation?
I wonder if that would have a dampening effect.
A lot of the problem with metal tripods is that they are incapable of
damping certain pitches of vibration.
This is why a rig might work really well with one camera/lens
combination, and be a total flop with another.
