Anyone using Ambient QP 6200 Jumbo (10.6m) with mic or an action camera?

[Sound]

Has anyone used the Ambient QP 6200 Jumbo boom pole (up to 10.6m) to mount a mic or an action camera (as drone replacement)? If I set the base on the ground and just stabilize the pole by hand, how practical is this at full extension? Looking for real-world experiences with stability, control, and footage quality at that length.

I know a soundmixer using a comparable product from Kortwich as an antenna mast to reach to the 3rd floor from outside.

Thanks for your help! Are this pole from Kortwich available from their website? I cannot find anything of about 10m there.

According to their site, their longest standard product is the Ko65 up to 7,5m, but they offer a custom length boom up to 9m.
It seems, they do not have an English version of their site, so here are the product pages:

The shop system claims the custom one is currently unavailable, but that may or may not be due to the fact, that a custom product is by definition neither in stock nor on back-order.

thanks! I guess I will try Ambient 10m then. Anyone here that has used a 10m boom pole? Can a single person handle it?

In what situations would you want to do so?
