By closely listening to the requests of both cameramen and producers, they are able to create unique solutions that cater to their every requirement. Their R&D engineering team takes great care to consider criticism from all customers, and they work to integrate their feedback into the design and technological solutions of their products. This approach has helped them achieve their goals and garnered positive feedback from satisfied customers worldwide. Their factory employs a highly skilled workforce of 56, and they have a total group of 75 employees, who are the backbone of their success.
Every member of their team is deeply committed to all aspects of manufacturing, marketing, and distribution, with a meticulous focus on particulars.
