Get
1. a telescopic painters pole--it gives you more reach than a monopod
and is cheaper, about $ 20.
2. a camera handlebar attachment, used to attach a camera to a bicycle
handlebar. $20-30.
3. a point and shoot camera with an infrared remote trigger and a decent
wide-angle lens. I use a Nikon Coolpix P6000. The remote is $ 20.
This is by far the quickest and most convenient way of taking pictures
of an outcrop pavement from 2-5 m above the ground. If you need more
coverage, either stitch the images, or get higher up in the air using a
kite, a He balloon, or a drone.
