I am 6'-1" so I am concerned about it's overall length - will I be bent over, even slightly, while using this item? Can one extend the shaft?

The Black & Decker is lightweight and does what I need it to do. I am 5'6". Am not home now but don't think the shaft can be extended. Call the company and ask.

I'm 6'1" and the normal one felt too short me. I can pretty much lay flat on the long without hanging off the end of it.

yes. I got you by 1" at 6'4" and I have plenty of room. As a matter of fact, there is still one adjustment hole to go!

Yes you will need to bend your knees. I'm 6' and have to bend my knees. Not a big deal though.

I have it over my bathtub and it will extend to about 10 feet. I would not use it for any heavy load at that length, it would sag quite a bit.

I'm 6"1' and I think it will work for you. I like the adjustments that you can make and it is comfortable. Fairly easy to put together.

I am 6' and have the ladies flex shaft and love it. If his swing speed is low, as mine is, this would serve well. If not, do not get a shaft stiffer than a senior shaft.

The one I just bought has a slight angle about 6" from the end. This bend seems to allow you to spray a vertical surface without having to be too far back that the wand would be to heavy to support. It worked fine for me even at full extension but it is a bit difficult to control when fully extended.

Probably. Center stem should extend easily, as should legs. Without visual inspection on my part, I suspect that the center tube is bent. I would look into return/exchange.

Im 5'6 and dont have any problems with it but from using it I dont think it would accomodate someone over 6 feet.

This is not enough. You could buy an extension that curves down at least 6". It's easily obtained from any hardware store. But the way it is now - the answer is "NO."

No, it will not extend that high. I am 5 feet tall and it brings me to slightly below standing height.

I seriously doubt it. I am only 5'9" and I have it extended all the way, because I like to straighten my legs when cycling. You could modify it by adding a metal tube between the two halves of the adjusting tube, but it would probably be unstable unless you welded it. I'd use my money to buy a second hand larger model if I were you.

Not in my opinion, and I'm 6'. It's adjustable, as well. Never had any problem.

I am 6'2" and the 60 inch dolica would do just as well. the center post extends up quite a bit.

It cant be adjusted. Im 5'10" and it comes up just over my waste. Its about right for me, but it might be uncomfortable for you.

Nope. I'm only 6'1" and it's too short for me. My guitar is very light and this strap still won't support it.
