Who We Are – The SCG Design Team

At SCG, our core design team has been developing professional video tripods since 2003. Over the past two decades, we've created some of the world's best-selling camera support systems and gained deep insight into every aspect of tripod design and application.

Why Tripod Selection Is Still So Challenging

We understand that choosing the right tripod can be overwhelming—especially for videographers, filmmakers, and content creators who need stability, smooth movement, and gear that fits their workflow. That's why we launched the Camera Tripod School: to help demystify the process with clear, experience-backed guidance.
