Subject: [Leica] Monopods (somewhat off topic)

I hope the membership can help me in my quest.

I'm looking for a monopod but I have yet to find one of a suitable size.  I
want it to be telescoping for transportability, but I also want it to be
quite tall at maximum extension.  I'm 6'3".  My eyes are approximately 5'9"
(69") off the ground.  Allowing for the height of an M6 that means I want a
monopod that extends to between 64" and 66".  As you may guess I'm trying
to avoid bending excessively.  I've not located one this large, although by
cobbling together a tall monopod and various combinations of tripod heads I
can come up with something that may work.  However, I'm looking for
something as aesthetically pleasing as it is servicable.

Is there anything out there that fits my requirements?

Dave
