Several years ago I bought out the remaining inventory of the Peter Lisand company, a New Jersey-based manufacturer of high quality motion picture and photographic equipment. This purchase included a number of really well designed and manufactured tripods, body braces, and these excellent studio pedestals. Most of the tripods and fluid heads went very quickly, so I have been surprised at how long these pedestals have stuck around. These well engineered, high quality, all aluminum studio pedestals would be excellent for any small digital or film production facility. They feature locking casters, adjustable center columns, foldable legs, adjustable bowl-top high hats, and built-in steering rings. These pedestals run very smoothly and are easy to operate and store. Perfect to add to your kit, or gift to the filmmakers on your list this holiday.
