I think it would be relatively simple to come close to the NPP... use a rig like Willy's on a
short monopod, velcro your feet in place, and spin that weightless rig around the long axis
of the monopod.
If that's a full-frame camera, there would be plenty of overlap.
Funny, I've always wished for a weightless rig I could just let hang in space and rotate, no
support rig needed ;-)
