The mount - as stated above the mount is the heart, soul, and backbone of the telescoping mast system (as it should be). All masts sway to some degree, but the less sway the better. When you have $3,000.00 + worth of equipment on top of your mast swaying back and forth, your nerves will be racked and you will not be thinking about all the money you saved by buying an inferior product. The mount cannot be skimped on. There is also a liability issue to be considered should the mast come crashing down from a sudden unexpected gust of wind due to an improper support. Our mounting system offers the best of both worlds - both maximum sturdiness and stability, and also the ability to be raised very easily and quickly.

Versatility of cameras and lenses - Our system will support any camera - film or digital, medium or 35mm format. It is very important to have the ability to use interchangeable lenses. Most standard lenses and point and shoot cameras have narrow lenses. You will need a very wide angle lens for those times when you are shooting on a narrow road and backing your vehicle from the subject is not possible. Wide angle lenses eliminate that problem. We use our wide angle lens exclusively. Like universal mounts, point and shoots with their narrow field of view and simple attached lens sound nice but you will definitely need the ability to use interchangeable wide angle lenses. (See example of photos shot with a wide angle lens vs. a standard lens on the 50 foot system link)

Availability of ongoing support - We provide unlimited personal consultation on an ongoing basis at no extra charge. And because we are not just a manufacturer, but also photographers who use our systems, we can address any questions that you may have. We do this not just because it is the right thing to do but because we know what it is like starting out. We are happy to pass on the knowledge. No other company can or will make that offer with sincerity.

Wireless - Wireless is positively the way to go. Dealing with wires and cables would definitely be cumbersome as they would become entangled and waste your time.

Training - Included in any package, we provide training in the use of the system and the processing of photos from camera to print at our location.

Promotional material - We provide you with models for a business card, brochure, web site, magazine/newspaper ad, realtor board ad, and letters and e-mails to various industries that will be interested in your services.
