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. Founded in 1892 it catered to members of New
York’s high society, including such notables as Andrew
Carnegie. 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. The
line includes a wide selection of lightweight, easy to
use designs based on the latest technology, that offer
the same dependable level of support that Davis &
Sanford provides to assure each customer a perfect
long-term shooting experience.
Together Davis & Sanford and Vista by Davis &
Sanford comprise the most comprehensive line of
tripods available, with models to serve the special
needs of portrait, fashion, astronomical, and industrial
photographers as well as photojournalists and professional videographers.
