Using a tele­scopic mast for aer­ial shots of houses is noth­ing new, and masts come in many sizes.  Being blokes, most pho­tog­ra­phers get the tallest, biggest mast they can.  Usu­ally these are mounted onto tow­ing hitches of 4X4s or vans.

We know that it’s not the size of the mast, it’s how it is used.  Our 15m mast is (just about) man-portable, which means we can pho­to­graph from the end of a gar­den, or even carry the mast through a house to get the right angle.  On the Malvern Hills, this can be really use­ful.  Here’s what it looks like:

So here’s prop­erty shot from today, pho­tographed, edited and trans­mit­ted in one after­noon to John Good­win estate agents in Ledbury.
