I have recently acquired BLK360. Looking to buy taller tripod with minimum height of 3m [nearly 10 feet]. Looking for recommendations?

@AnjumDesign

Congrats on your BLK360. Exciting! Please do share some of your BLK360 meets Matterport work in a new WGAN Forum topic.

But if your going to use Pro1 I definitly use elevated tripod. They make one with hand crank so you can raise or lower it for easy access and moving it. You can rent them at most large land survey companies. Please keep use posted on out come and work flow.


Ron,
I live in Argentina.
Here you can find iron, wood, wine, friends, no much more than that.

I will try to do some captures on Saturday with my Insta 360 One X and see if it works for them.
I made a "DIY tripod" at the past to have 2 extra meters, but I think this is too much.
Here you can see my "invention":



And, from the same discussion...

I have the 269 Super Stand with wheels attached and a clamp to fix the Matterport Camera.

It is heavy and you will probably need assistance. If you move it, be careful, it may be shaking. This is why I have attached wheels. And please make sure to use a very good clamp, too. I use it with a RRS

There's this one (on my dream/christmas/to buy list) :
https://www.gitzo.com/ca-fr/trepied-systematic-serie-5-grande-taille-6-sections-gt5563gs/

It's pretty $$$ and it's on backorder.

If you buy it for your project and want to get rid of it afterward, I'll buy it off you with a 20% discount! Deal?

Hi All,

The very tall tripod in the PetaPixel photo is this one. Unfortunately, at its fully extended setting, it can old support 2.2 lbs. (Matterport Pro2 camera is 6.5 lbs.)
