RED Camera Cart?

[Chris Gearhart]

The Red store has an entry for a "RED camera cart".

I dunno if I am slow on the draw, here, but that looks like a sweet idea. I wonder how portable it is, and what goodies it packs. A coffee cup holder is a must, since no one had the foresight to put it on the RED ONE itself. Anyone have the skinny on the details?

And how many G's will it push?

I have got an old sock I am going to tie to the handle to hold my coffee.

there is a thread floating around about this and Shawn Nelson posted a pic of it I believe in that thread, think magliner with a ball adapter.

here is thread

Don't have a shot of it packed up, but it breaks down to a large stainless steel briefcase with wheels...

Oops. Thanks.

Here is a link a cart that is a bit bigger than the RED Cart but it does the same things. :biggrin:

What's the sense of the ball attachement? Shall we use it as a dolly?

You put the tripod head on the cart and build the camera on the tripod head. Then remove from cart and put on the tripod/crane/8 foot tall man's arm

I am very very interested in the RED dolly. I think the way these guys are thinking they've got to be designing one and it is definitely the kind of thing someone could come in with a price busting design establishing tool for.

I met a shooter last week who uses a converted dual baby carraige to push around his stuff. I tried pushing it around, and it kicked the pants off any cart I had tried.

There's no reason for RED to spend design time on a RED cart. These are just OEM offerings. The items being offered in the RED store look just like the following sold by filmtools.com:

I just purchased the filmtools camera assistant's cart:

At $1025, It's the best value I could find in a high-durability, collapsible cart with tripod hangers, baby pin, frontbox holder, and high-/low-hat hanger. (I just use my 100mm ball high-hat as a cart-side camera mount for now.)

Best,
