Hey guys I am looking for places that sell scaffolding or a filming tower that we can use to film our different segemnts of practice. I am drawing a blank on where I have seen them before. Also might entertain making one if I get a good recepie. I am only looking for something that puts the filmer 10-15 feet in the air on a sturdy platform.
Thanks

I bought the tallest and sturdiest ladder at Home Depot. Workest great fast to move and put away. In my opinion that is a great deal for practice.

Call a local construction company or builder, I would bet they would rent you a scaffolding to make some money esp with the way the economy is.

Man I would be nervous up a ladder, even a sturdy one would fall over if one of the kids bumped it, like on a play that spilled out of bounds.
We have used the deer stand. It isn't bad, you can even fit a chair or bucket up there.

It isn't bad, you can even fit a chair or bucket up there. This ladder is rated up to 375 lbs. (Type 1AA). 12' ladder costs about $250. You will want to film from behind the offense, not from the side. That way, you won't have to worry about getting the ladder knocked over.  |

We have a 10-foot tall shed at the middle of our practice field. It is too short to see anything - but we put the end zone camera on the top of it and it gave us a GREAT high angle view. Best film we have had from practice.
Maybe you could use your end zone tri-pod somehow.

I would contact a local construction company and ask if you can borrow a 10 foot scaffolding for the season. Maybe you can offer them free ad space in your program or a banner at home games in exchange.

We use the back of our home bleachers. Our practice field runs parallel to the field, but we mark the side with cones and have a great end zone shot to watch film. Obviously this is only for practice.

How about those of you who do not own your game field, and therefore have to set up and take down your platform in such a way as to keep the site manager and groundstaff sweet? ie. minimal hassle and no chance of affecting their facility or the surface.
Any tricks here, as I fear getting approval to put up a scaffold might be tough in our new place. So much so that I'm trying to figure out how to get a really tall step ladder

In that case I would go with the most study step ladder you can find and a couple mangers (one to film, one to hold the ladder still)
