Recommendations needed: super-tall monopod (2 meters/6.5ft)

Hi folks,

Anybody knows a good recommendation for a very tall monopod? I need something at least 2 meters tall. Unfortunately, I often find myself shooting in less than ideal circumstances, which means in a sea of people, and I need to get the camera up to a height to clear their heads. 2M would be pretty good. Whatever pod I choose, it needs to be able to hold the weight of a HMC150.

I currently own and like the Manfrotto 697B, it's a great pod, but it could really use an additional 50cm of height. Aluminium pods are fine, I'll save the carbon fiber for the tripods :)

check out the Manfrotto 561B. By my measurement, 6 ft 6.5 inches from toe to bottom of plate. Add another 2-3 inches to lens level, and you're around the height you need.
