I'm 6' 2" and use a Benro Mach3 Long Carbon Fiber 3 Series Tripod (TMA38CL). It puts the camera right at eye level (although I may have to bend a little if the subject is above me). They also sell Extra Long, which are even taller. The one I have is 4.5 lbs, and sells for $229. It comes with both a long center column and a short one.
