Really?  I'm just over 6'-1" and have no problem.  After reading this I went into the shop to check and do not see why, at 6'-4", you would have a problem -- there is just about 6'-8" clearance on my Boom Arm.  Did the store have the hose and brackets mounted below the arm?  If so, they certainly would be a pain for you mounted like that, but they can be (and I would think usually are) mounted over the top.  Or is it not a problem with the Arm itself, but rather the hose as it hangs down?

yea the hose is hanging right in my face,,,,,i will look at it again but it might be set all wrong.......every time i try to use it i almost want to buy it just so i can chop it into pieces and throw it around the parking lot.

Hi,

        When the store gets a KAPEX on display, try cutting up the Boom Arm to test it out. Then place the pieces neatly in a Systainer . See if they notice ;D

      If it is something you really want to use- you might be able to add and extension pipe to increase the height. Or maybe place the CT on platform or low storage cabinet. Though moving it would be a pain then.
