i have become very interested in antique views of cities, greco's view of toledo, and especialy topographical studies like those of anton van der wyngaerde.
as a poor photographer, however, one of the constraints that i have to deal with is getting the desired vantage point, but this looks like a great tool:

limited to a small format digital camera and as a franchise comes packaged with a "driver" who is going to hold copyright.
i don't suppose anyone out there has a cheap, stable, extendable platform that'll get a 4x5 and a tripod to about 500 ft.?
no?
