Look at the specs for the detector. Usually it will say maximum and minimum height. Also check to see if they sell a "tall" rod. I have the opposite problem, under five feet, and have found that adjustability varies from detector to detector, and had to buy a "short" rod for my minelab.
Has anybody actually had a problem with a detector that won't open long enough? I've only owned a few detectors, couple BH's, a couple Fisher's, a Garrett's and a Tesoro, but I haven't had any issues with any of the detectors i've ever owned.

I'm 6'5" as well, and I had issues with my White's Prizm years ago.
I now use a CTX at it's maximum height setting. If I were any taller, it would be too short. Fortunately, I will shrink as I get older (statistically speaking).
