Jonathan Reyes Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 New wheels (made the axle myself). Still and always be a work in progress. Check it out! Just need to get handles made!!! Quote
mikefilosa Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 VERY slick indeed! I'd love to see a pic of the undercarriage .... the wheel attachment. Regarding handles, I wonder if a pair, bolted into a 3-4 RU panel screwed into your existing rear rack rail, would be a viable option? MF Quote
Philip Perkins Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 It wouldn't be easy, but with as heavy as I'd guess this cart is I'd suggest much bigger diameter wheels--easier to get over obstacles or run on uneven ground. philp Quote
Jonathan Reyes Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Posted September 10, 2014 I'll take a photo of the undercarriage maybe sometime this weekend. I was thinking about going to a local welder here in Brooklyn to see if he or she can make me a better and stronger axle and custom front and rear handles... Quote
Jonathan Reyes Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Posted October 11, 2014 New front push handles. Quote
pvanstry Posted October 11, 2014 Report Posted October 11, 2014 Love the wheel in the back, where did you get these? What size are they? Thanks Quote
Jonathan Reyes Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Posted October 22, 2014 12.5 inches they are made by skyway Quote
Jonathan Reyes Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Posted January 30, 2015 New axle and new handle Quote
Jonathan Reyes Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Posted February 1, 2015 Just need to replace the cl8 with a 702t Quote
Jeff Wexler Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 "Just need to replace the cl8 with a 702t" Why? What would you do with the 702T? Quote
Jonathan Reyes Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Posted February 1, 2015 Yeah Back Up 2 channel recorder. I have an FR2 with tC but it's too big for the spot I want it. Quote
Jeff Wexler Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 Yeah Back Up 2 channel recorder. I have an FR2 with tC but it's too big for the spot I want it. Have you always run a backup recorder? Have you ever had to use those backup tracks? Quote
mikefilosa Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Love the handles - the back looks like a wise custom design (deep to the body of the case) -- The front handles are tres bueno - where did you find them ? MF Quote
Jonathan Reyes Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Posted February 2, 2015 Have you always run a backup recorder? Have you ever had to use those backup tracks? I've seen main recorders go down and the back up saved the day a month later. I rather be safe than sorry. Quote
RPSharman Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 I stopped running my 744T backup about 3 years ago, having never used the recorded tracks for a couple of years before that. On a small rig, it's great to shed the extra machine. Quote
Joshua Anderson Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 I still run 2 788Ts. Both machines get the same audio/track designations. I hand in 2 CF cards and ask the loader or DIT to transfer both cards. I have had a 788 lock up mid take. It was on a stunt shot, so certainly not critical (may have even been off speed on the camera). It's really only happened once in the 4-5 years I've owned the 2 recorders. It's been pretty common in narrative episodic in NY to use to recorders. 2 788ts are pretty small in size (same as 1 Deva or even the newer SD machine, 970). It takes me a little extra time to do the metadata, but I don't mind. I'd rather have the backup available then have the transfer house print a take without sound because "there are parts we can still use so we'll print it." Quote
pindrop Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 I've seen main recorders go down and the back up saved the day a month later. I rather be safe than sorry. Curious to know, how was it, that it was a month later that it saved the day? Quote
Ze Frias Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Jonathan, it's looking awesome! I still run 2 788Ts. Both machines get the same audio/track designations.

I'd rather have the backup available then have the transfer house print a take without sound because "there are parts we can still use so we'll print it." I've seen Josh's cart set-up personally. It's pretty damn awesome! Hope you are well Josh! Quote
Joshua Anderson Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks Jose! I'm doing fine. Prepping for the next show. How are you? Best, Josh Quote
old school Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Every one should record as they see fit but the more gear you push around, the sooner your back will go out. Less is more in story telling, film making, and equipment on a production sound carts IMO. CrewC Quote

CrewC +1 Currently obsessing on what the minimum envelope possible cart can be, while not being a bag rig on a magliner.. think perhaps some items can be turned 90 degrees from usual rack.. sort of a "Jenga" stack idea forming in my mind at present.

afewmoreyears Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Agree Jonathan.... and Crew.... I have been working on getting real small and portable for a while... while remaining relatively powerful.. Similar size... great in hallways and sidewalks... homes too.... Nice cart Jonathan.. Quote
old school Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 The way I look at it is my main cart & smaller follow cart need to be powerful, yet as small and mobile as I can make them. The back up for all my systems & everything else is my van full of gear. CrewC Quote
