Can they really go that high?

'lightweight' isn;t going to happen here really.
You're necessarily looking at movie lighting stands and adding an adapter to
mount a mic. You;re also needing weight bags for the base... (you do NOT
want this falling on clients and their lawyers)

, first common one would be the
MANFROTTO Avenger series model A-410B (B for BLACK)

This isn;t quite 3m high though.

Check your math again. 6 meters is about 19.7 feet.

There are some lighting stands from Manfrotto that should fit the bill.
Don't know the model numbers off the top of my head, but look around their
web site.

I took one of the larger Lowel stands with me in the backpack
when we went to Spain a couple months ago. Pretty lightweight
and I threaded the top stud with 5/8x27 to allow screwing a
mic clip directly to the stand. But not 19ft. If you really need
19ft, then "lightweight" is not very practical (or safe).

For 5m, you can get the very lightweight one from Wes Dooley, which is
identical to the older Shure S15 (now discontinued by Shure).

For 6M, you're going to need to go with a lighting stand. The Manfrotto
ones are light and I think they may still have one that goes up to 6M.
The Avenger crank-ups go much higher, and while they are heavy you can
still carry them with one hand.

Perhaps he needs to get up above and hang a mic DOWN ?
