SpotView, FieldView & ProView
Press boxes and film towers, built to your field.
Portable aluminum decks at 4', 6' and 10' — press boxes to work from, film towers to shoot from — powder coated to your colors, with the enclosure and packages you actually need. Answer a few questions below and watch it come together.
Step 1
How high do you need to be?
Same frame, same build, same options on both. The deck height is what changes, and it decides what you can do up there.
Step 2
Pick your color.
Step 3
Open, or closed in?

Put your name on it.
Step 5
Anything else?

Film towers: the 10' ProView
The ProView is a film tower rather than a press box — a 10' deck, high enough to shoot over the play instead of through it. Coaches call it a coaching tower, a camera tower or a scouting tower depending on the sport and who is asking; it is the same platform, and elevation is the only reason to go this big. If you shoot game video off a scissor lift or the top row of the bleachers today, this replaces it. Same frame and the same options as the press boxes above; it is not in the builder yet, so we quote it directly.
Questions we get asked.
What's the difference between the 4' and the 6'?+
Deck height, and what it buys you. The SpotView (4') puts you above the bench and the touchline — enough for the clock, spotting and announcing. The FieldView (6') clears a standing crowd along the near touchline, which is the one thing a 4' deck cannot do on a busy sideline. Same frame, same options, same build.
Do I need the enclosure?+
It depends on your season, not your budget. Open is a platform — fine for a dry afternoon and a scorer. Canvas takes the wind off three sides. The plexiglass options are a room you can work in through a season: the 3-sided has a door at the entry, and the 4-sided adds the lift-up front hatch so you can shut the front and still see out.
Are these prefab press boxes, or built on site?+
Prefabricated. The structure is cut, welded and finished in our North Carolina shop rather than framed on your field, which is the practical difference between buying a press box and hiring a contractor to build one — no site construction, no schedule, no punch list. There is assembly on arrival, and how much depends on the model and the options you choose; ask and we will tell you exactly what is involved before you order. Once it is together it rolls on casters, so it can move to another field or into storage rather than standing in one spot for twenty years.
Can it be moved between fields?+
Yes. Every unit rolls on four casters, two of which lock. Add the tow kit — a carbon steel drawbar with a 2" receiver — and it goes behind a utility vehicle between venues rather than being pushed.
How high does a film tower need to be for football filming?+
For game film and practice footage, most programs want 8-10 feet of viewing height. That is what the ProView (10') is for: high enough to shoot over the play instead of through it. The 4' and 6' press boxes are for working from, not filming over.
Are portable film towers better than renting scissor lifts?+
For most programs, owning is significantly cheaper. Scissor lift rentals run $200-400 a day. A tower pays for itself after 50-75 uses — often within two or three seasons — and it is available on the days you did not book it.
