Davis & Sanford, one of America’s oldest, most respected tripod manufacturers, has been a major force in the advancement of modern tripod design for nearly 80 years. The company grew out of the renowned Davis & Sanford Photo Studio on Fifth Avenue in New York.

In 1930, Davis & Sanford was re-established as a tripod manufacturer specializing in super-rigid, lightweight metal tripods that set a standard for the industry. That spirit of functional excellence, technical innovation, and outstanding value continues today, with the latest line of Davis & Sanford tripods.
Vista Tripods, the vibrant new line by Davis & Sanford was introduced in 2006 to provide the growing number of hobbyist and enthusiast photographers and videographers with state-of-the art tripods offering the highest performance and durability at affordable prices.
