glinton Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Is the wooden prototype for sale? I figure 5 or 6 grips to help me move it around and we'd have something! Just kidding.... fantastic cart; just hard to not drool into the keyboard of my laptop. Thanks for the pics Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomholman Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hi gang, Just looked at some pix. here again. Everyone seems to have great set ups. The EFP bag systems are amazing. Warren, the bare cart is very light; about 37 lbs. wheels & all. The problem is all the stuff (no follow cart, cables, etc. in bottom drawer), funny story. I knew the cart was heavy but had no problem bouncing it around. After about a year I really wanted to know the exact weight. One day we were shooting in a hospital, went in the service entrance, looked up & there was my weight on a digital read out. Scale in floor, next the cart.. Wow... 198 lbs! From that day on, it's been very heavy to me. Cole & Simon, right: 8 - 20 lb. "Barry" aircraft shock mounts. Phil & Phil, Thanks for the note. Now that I know its 200, I can't just toss it in the truck (like I used to). Check out the car pix. The red lines are a 6 to 1 block & tackle. 30 lb. pull, bing (I'm addicted to sailing). In the garage I have an electric winch in the ceiling. Since I started pre radio mic, I don't like to use a lot of them. I have had great luck with my Audio ltd.'s and stay with individual antenna's. It has been my experience that splitters, beams (shark fins) & cables do more harm than good unless really done well. Best to all. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimg Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Tom, Really nice cart. I really like some of the details, like the hinged hooks and the sliding mixer and recorder tray. How long did the fabrication take? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
