TRIPOD FEATURES

Over the past 60 years, Davis & Sanford has built up a diverse line of well-engineered, sturdy tripods: from low-priced, high value tripods for the weekend snapshooter to versatile, rugged tripods for around-the-clock professionals, and everything in between. Plus, Davis & Sanford provides a variety of platforms, tripod heads and accessories to meet a range of specialized applications. Tripods ordered in quantity can be modified or customized according to a customer's needs. All Davis & Sanford tripods and support systems share some important features.

Strong, yet lightweight, materials such as aircraft-quality aluminum and high-tech synthetics  provide excellent durability and functionality. Powder-coated or anodized protective finishes resist abrasion under the heaviest use. Ten-year warranty on all tripods gives customers complete confidence in their purchases.  Listed below are detailed descriptions of many of our tripods.  If you would like to see additional tripods, click here (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader).  To see part numbers and suggested list prices on our full line of Davis and Sanford Tripods, click here (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader).
