Yesterday I received my new toy, the Agnos MrotatorHD, straight from Italy.
Since I shoot some architectural pictures for clients, I thought this one might improve my shots.
here's the link to Agnos:
http://www.agnos.com/prodotti.htm?v_lingua=ENG&v_categ_lista=P0000-P0005-P0506&v_cod_art_scheda=BUNDLE41#
It's 6 meters in height, and features five segments which you can expand one by one up to 6m. The pole comes with a Velbon ball head and plate, a well made transportation bag, 7 pin-stops (you need five to lock the expanded elements) and a 5m chord with remote control.
They have a great support and shipment was very fast.
It's easy to use, but you'll need calm weather, because fully expanded it tends to wave a bit. This may depend on the weight of camera and lens.
I found that the 5D and the Distagon 4/18 is good to handle. 5D and distagon 2.8/21 is more complacted, the lens is longer and heavier, so it can lead to a stronger swing/sway.
You have to be very careful to keep the pole straight, I dont want to imagine what happens when the leverage starts to pull the camera down  . Because of this I would not not recommend moving the pole fully expanded.
Some samples from yesterday:
fully expanded with eos 5D & distagon 4/18, (btw, I'm 192cm tall)
a shot handhold:
mrotator first element
two elements
three elements
four elements
five elements, fully expanded

Not yet, but I try to be very careful 
It's pretty sneaky from distance, only the shutter noise could attract some attention. Just kidding..
@ Schnauzer,
lol, what a great idea, I could try to use stilts. Need to check my insurance right now...

We don't build cameras or lenses but at least we've got some ideas for weirdest inventions.

140 Euros + VAT & shipping, it's fair in my opinion.
I need it for an assignment in three weeks, I think there is no other way to capture the whole aerea (except renting an aerial working platform or man lift, which is very expensive...)

Yes, you can be proud of your region, nice inventions and great quality. Not to be confused with the southern casual attitude
