Frequently Asked Questions
How high does a video tower need to be for football filming?
For football game film and practice footage, most programs find that an 8-10 foot viewing height provides the optimal angle. This elevation lets you capture the full field width while seeing over players' heads on the sideline. Our ProView tower offers a 10-foot elevated platform, which is the most popular choice for football programs. For tighter practice fields or limited budgets, our 6-foot FieldView tower works well for position drills and smaller-scale filming.
Are portable film towers better than renting scissor lifts?
For most athletic programs, owning a portable film tower is significantly more cost-effective than renting scissor lifts. Scissor lift rentals typically cost $200-400 per day, and you're dependent on rental availability during busy seasons. A portable video tower pays for itself after 50-75 uses—often within 2-3 seasons. Plus, you get the convenience of having it ready whenever you need it, with no scheduling hassles or delivery coordination. Our towers include wheels for easy mobility between fields.
Can I use a coaching tower for multiple sports?
Absolutely. Our portable coaching towers are designed for multi-sport use. Football programs use them for game film and practice observation. Soccer and lacrosse coaches use them for tactical filming and sideline views. Band directors use them for marching band rehearsals. The portability—with pneumatic wheels on all our models—means you can move the tower between your football field, soccer pitch, and practice facilities as needed. Many athletic departments share one tower across all their field sports.
What's included with a portable press box tower?
Our base film tower models include: an elevated aluminum platform with bench seating, a powder-coated canopy for sun and rain protection, pneumatic wheels for portability, ladder access with safety handles, and your choice of 14 standard colors. Optional add-ons include canvas or plexiglass enclosures for weather protection, a tow kit for vehicle transport, storage compartments, and custom front/rear banners for team branding. Everything is built from aircraft-grade aluminum for durability and rust resistance.
How do you move a portable video tower between fields?
All our film towers come standard with heavy-duty pneumatic wheels, so one or two people can roll the tower across grass, turf, or pavement. For longer distances—like moving between facilities—we offer an optional tow kit ($851-999) that lets you attach the tower to a vehicle hitch and transport it at low speeds. The towers are designed for frequent relocation, which is why we use aluminum construction: it's strong enough for stability but light enough for practical mobility.
