Me too. Happy birthday JW.

CJ's doing it with the SKB sliding shelf. Works for me (and obviously for him).

Found this the other day. 1968 Channel 7 Sydney Australia - "The Mavis Bramston Show" - to air live. Rob Stalder on Boom, Michael Brown on dolly.

Me too... Its not rack mount width. Its a little itsy bitsy Muppet of a cart. Its not trying to be all things to all people. I think the external tray width is 400mm. I think rack width is about 495mm. Now Mirror it needs a bit of lateral thinking here and I know you are capable of it. Most rack mount products could sit on the shelf and hang off the side... So if you want a rack mount cart I make several.

DD cart page up on my website RastOrder.com.au - go to products page, link in top right corner.

Nice. Great way to close off openings to protect from elements & present a neat & light appearance.

The DD cart is available now. I still haven't made a page for it on my website, so if you are interested, please email me. Rob

Derek, you've got it. No specific catering for mounts of any kind - tried to keep costs down. However there are a plethora of solutions out there... There are attachment points for 4 x boom/antenna poles. Re folding - There are 2 bolts for each shelf. One could be taken out & some pivoting of the shelf would occur - but this was not intentional. Personally if you look at the dimensions of the cart, it doesn't take up much space, particularly with the wheels off. And they really do come off with the push of a button. The Mb adopts the same principal. When you take the wheels off, it can be packed in a vehicle like a medium/large pelican case. Rob

My first overseas shipment was FedEx AWB 8406 5847 1023 on 28th July 2003 to Mr Dave Diamond (DD) in Los Angeles USA. It was a big call for Mr Diamond to buy a sound cart (SU) from someone a world away, sight unseen and money up front. I have named my new cart after Dave Diamond. The DD cart

I too am saddened by this news. He was a man of vision and had an enviable attention to detail.

RastOrder cart prices have been revised for 2018, downwards - yes that's what I said... I hope it makes them a little more affordable. See individual cart specification pages for prices. Also a little spoiler alert. We will be releasing a new cart in a few weeks. Best, Rob

Hello Nate. What you have done is brilliant, I can see your lateral mind working overtime. Thank you for posting those pics. not just for others to see, but for me too. I am very impressed. Re the lucky dice valve caps, I try to include one of these and one of these on (most) of my carts, because I can. Best, Rob

Oh Lordy. Its so beautiful I don't think I would care whether it was better or worse than whatever. Mind you I am probably still back in the 80's...

RMC 6 is a bit of a departure from my normal setups. Just experimenting here. Still kept the 2 modules - lets call it - Variant BM2/TM2. Went for these 7 inch castors on the front. They don't have brakes so I added some wheelchair brakes on the 20 inch wheels. Top module has no sliding shelves, just 2 fixed shelves bolted together. I have added a second rack strip about 200mm in to allow for stepped setups & monitors out of sunlight. On the rear I have added upside down handles with Rotocastor Omni directional castors. https://www.rotacaster.com.au/ I prefer side handles as they keep the rear free for attaching anything. Much the same as I always avoid having a full length wheel axle in the bottom, wasting space. The handles are well attached.

Thank you Nate, I would like to see what you did. I try to please everybody, but its impossible... So I like to see how my carts are adapted by users.

These dual monitor brackets for the foldup seem to be breeding. Everyone's making them except me... Pete has just come up with another fine solution. Nice one.

Thanks Kristian. Seems your not so bad at making things either.

Hi Derek. The rear upright bars are 25 x 25 mm square tube with 3mm wall thickness. The socket on the top removable half shelf also has 3mm wall thickness and is strongly welded. You would need to be conservative in the amount of weight you put on it. I think the thing to watch is that excessive weight might bend the rear upright outwards. Thereby making the uprights too wide to fit the top half shelf back on. If you get my drift. In which case you might have to bend it back - either using the said top half shelf or a rubber hammer (lightly). Rob

If the top half shelf gets in the road you can take it off - or move it.

By the way - CJ has gone and bought his own Foldup - Must have liked it. If you need a bigger landing pad for your mixer bag. Top 2 folding shelves can be swapped.

People often take a breath before they talk. People often nod their head back & forth a bit when they want to but in. I'd be practicing your booming techniques & hopefully you will work with a shooter who understand fluidity of frame lines. A wider pattern will make it easier to cover a wider area without going off mic. A narrower pattern will generally give you more reach. Me - had 2 416's & 2 816"s till I fell in love with a Sanken CS3.

I found myself doing this a fair few times over the course of my career, mostly with mobile camera people. Always used a line level Comtek, often out of the headphone output on the board, which was often not being used. Comtek frequency never bothered my wireless link to camera.
