Grip Production Question - (Hope this is the right lounge, as didn't see a technical production one)

Hi Stage 32ers, I have a grip production question it would be great to get your advice on.

I want to shoot a high angle still shot from approx 7-8ft in the air as if replicating CCTV and was wondering how you guys might go about it. I have quite limited space and will be shooting with i-phone and go-pro, so will need to be up that high as well to view the screens.

Also potentially silly question but can tripods reach that high?

I'm assuming I will have to get some sort of grip arm and attach it to a tripod?

Or shall I try and build some sort of mini-platform and put the tripod on top of that?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated?

C-stand with a boom extension, gaffer's tape, tall ladder.

Step ladder. (A 6 footer will do.)
