Axler Portable Medium Duty Shooting Riser (4 x 4')

Really easy to set up and it is rock solid. My son and I both sat on it with stools and we are around a total of 400lbs. It’s tall but solid.

I couldn't be more happy with this product. Very easy to set up and is a very solid platform once set up. The 4x4 is bigger in real life than what it looks like in photos, but I'm glad I got the 4x4 instead of the 3x3. I'm a videographer who shoots events and live bands. What I like about this is.... if you're in an open park or in a place where there's no place to safely place your camera/tripod, you can set this up and it creates your own little space for people to walk around. Before I bought this, I would just set up my camera on a tripod and hope nobody trips over it. Now I can put my tripod on this riser and walk away from it with confidence that everyone will walk around it. I haven't stood on it yet while shooting, but I'm very confident it's big enough and sturdy enough to stand on while manning 1 or 2 cameras on tripods. It's not something I really use a lot to be honest, but I sure am glad I have it for those times I'll need it. My first job using this had already paid for it. If you're a professional videographer who shoots events, you won't regret buying this.
