It might work but it could be a little awkward. I would try it out, but I also don't have access to my tripod.:(

The point of having the length of pipe and then the weight is to make where ever you're holding it the center of gravity, so you'd have to keep that in mind.

I took a 2.5 lb weight and drilled it out so that the center column of my tripod would fit through it (just the center column, not the rest of the tripod). Seems to work okay.
