Can someone recommend an extra tall tripod?

I noticed this thread hadn’t been responded to so I did a quick search in Gitzo, Manfrotto, and Benro and stopped at that point due to the success rate. All three had numerous tripods that would go to your height with or without a center column or including the head height. There were actually many that went above 8 feet but the models were too numerous to list. You might go directly to each manufacturer’s site and use there selector guide tools to streamline your search.
