Tripods are not always able to be used in ideal environmental conditions. It's common to subject them to rain and high winds, areas exposed to spin-drift, or on ragged, uneven ground. Enabling each cameraman to operate with the panhead steadily fixed above the ground is the ultimate objective of Shotoku tripods. We are always in pursuit of the best materials, parts and surface treatment. A variety of dollies are also provided for use in standard studios or for the outdoors, for low-angle shots and for use with fitted seats. All models can be folded down for easy transportation, and are easily installed and removed.
