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?

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."

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?

Jonathan, it's looking awesome!

I've seen Josh's cart set-up personally. It's pretty damn awesome!

 

Hope you are well Josh!

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.

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.

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..

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.
