Hi All, Thanks for links they were great. I have been through the gallery images many times, drooling but not really knowing what I am looking at most of the time. RastOrder was exactly what I was looking for but has never come up in months of searching for someone in Australia - why I dont know (I was being facetious when i said I had only spent ten mins doing so - dry australian humour sorry I will stop) RastOrder is in Sydney I am in Melbourne - definitely closer than the states. So after todays shoot where I was lugging my gear up and down a hill all day because the director didnt have the need for a shot list I am very excited about getting some wheels . My back is killing me right now. Thanks Michael for the MeonLife Rackmount Cart Power heads up. Also RastOrder has some interesting reading and products for power. I found a MeonLife Rackmount Cart Power on B&H $1500 pricey. Does it run all you gear for a whole days shooting? that would definitely be worth it. I will have to do some research to see if it is switchable to Australian power. I think I will eventually need antenna hookups but I don't know how they work or when they would be of use. Hence the idiots guide would be good - there is a opportunity begging there for someone.

Michael, Very inspirational build. I don't have the talents, gear or worksop space to to do any welding. I'm going down the skb reinforced collapsable style of sound cart I think.. still working on it.

Hi all, I am also somewhat of a newbie - thanks for this thread and comments and ideas. Is there an idiots guide to building a sound cart some where - yes I have been googlein for at least ten mins. I have plenty of SKB cases, Laptop PT setup / Sound devices mixer sd recorder, sennheiser shot guns and radio lapels and an ever increasing amount of other gear to lug around. I would be interested in advice on powering everything on location and the radio antennas that everyone seems to have attached to their trollies. I should say I am in Australia and might not have access to everything available in the States. Many Thanks
