The Spider TR2SP2 Spider Pod System raises a tripod and operator two feet while minimizing camera shake by separating the operator from the camera riser. Key features include:
Most Unique Riser On The Web. The Spider TR2SP2 Spider Pod System sets itself apart from other camera and tripod risers by separating the tripod riser from the operator platform thus reducing camera shake caused by a restless cameraperson.
Eight Legs, Two Feet. This system will raise both tripod and camera operator two feet above the crowd to ensure a clear shot in rear-of-house shooting scenarios. The universal design accommodates most tripods, and the operator platform gives about two square feet of standing area.
Fold-Flat Design. The whole riser system folds into a flat 3.5 × 28 × 28″ kevlar soft case (rental only) for ease of transport. The whole package weighs in at 42 pounds when compacted.
Want A More Traditional Riser? We also rent a more traditional and less expensive riser option in the Axler Portable Medium Duty Shooting Riser 3-foot by 3-foot. The Axler riser would be a better option for tripod-less photo shooters or those using monopods.
