I just use a standard 10' EMT pole as well. I'll buy a longer pole/setup sometime soon. Maybe a CF one :)

hehe, I think that there is just one way to make it better... I need a naked babe on the canon ;)

I also said in another thread: I'm planing a rig shot with a helicopter.... :) If that works (ooooh bibber), that would be gorgeous.

Great shot! Excellent distance. Looks like it's shooting from another vehicle.
