[@NicolasDormontphotographer]

I'd would love to have the possibility to fold legs

[@diyphotography]

Stay tuned for V2

[@HeatherMachut-yq8iw]

@@diyphotography what is V2? lol Now I'm interested b/c I am about to make one. :)

[@diyphotography]

@@HeatherMachut-yq8iw gonna get bigger wheels, put borders, bigger table, and some more mounting ideas

[@HeatherMachut-yq8iw]

@@diyphotography when you say bigger table? like bigger cart? And will you post the bigger wheels you are looking at? Bigger nicer wheels are always key. The only other thing is I can't swing 1k portable power.... any other suggestions? TIA!

I appreciate when you can hear the talent over the rock music track. Not the case here.

[@taspho]

I've been using the same cart in studio for a while now (went for dark wood varnish instead of black paint...) but never thought about the pegboard! Great idea and will be implementing too.

[@diyphotography]

Yup, between the black color and pegboard it's quite fun to use

[@eyalyw]

What a great video! I don't even have a studio and now I want a studio cart..

[@diyphotography]

If you built it, they will come

[@curtisc8386]

Interesting music video, can't hear the lyrics very clearly though.

[@BakerBongos]

Haha I love that you filmed it in Ikea, I was thinking your room was looking very nice! Great content as ever! 🔥

[@diyphotography]

Thank you Alex

וואו רק עכשיו שמתי לב שהסטודיו שלהם הוא של Spekular בגבעת ברנר. מה קרה איתם באמת פשוט נעלמו?

[@paper_camera]

Which size pegboard did you get? None of them seemed to fit well. Did you cut it?

[@diyphotography]

We cut it indeed:)

[@SakariNy]

Ive seen this furniture in ikea but never tought it could be used for this

[@diyphotography]

Happy to be of service

[@brenster21]

Is there any chance you can share how you attached the pegboard to the cart?

[@diyphotography]

Sure, plain old zip ties. LOL. it's not meant for weight, just some small accessories

[@brenster21]

@@diyphotography lol I wish I thought of that. Been trying to 3d print something for months

[@diyphotography]

@@brenster21 Actually, I just checked, we moved from Zip ties, to Skadis brackets on V2. This is what we used: www.ikea.com/us/en/p/skadis-connector-white-10320789/

[@brenster21]

@diyphotography ooh very smart. Is there any chance you could do a close up picture and your website? Did you do top bottom or just bottom?

[@diyphotography]

Check the video thumbnail,.it's there on the top of the cart

[@encoremultimedia3511]

Nice job. Very clever using only (mostly?) Ikea stuff to make this cart. As the name implies, it's only for studio use...in the field I think it would not last long. It wouldn't come from Ikea but you could add varying sizes of PVC tubes, cut short and lined with foam rubber (and a cap at one end), to hold lenses a little more safely. Just a thought. I created a cart for us for studio and field use. Mostly I used a Krane cart with a few extras. I made a video about it too. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqSkq6yvi7WUl9U

[@joeumali7375]

cool info, but PLEASE normalize your audio. music is so loud compared to your dialogue. we have a sleeping baby in the house! 😂

[@cristianmihai4818]

Cant imagine a bigger ripoff than the prices for the video carts.....People working in industrial area are launghing hard seeing these prices...Hope someone will start doing quality carts around 500 euros...

[@diyphotography]

Happy to serve ;) the nice this about this cart is that the wheels are replacable, do you can really get a nice set. On the flip side, it doesn't fold well. But for $300? Hey, no complaint

[@filmedbyco4299]

Let me know when the "DIY video cart 2.0" is planned to release, I have a few tricks on my sketch book🙃

[@diyphotography]

I would love to hear!

[@tirkelyotam]

Sometimes at night, I dream I have all the money in the world, and Ikea cart and all the Video gear I can get... and then I wake up. and do some DIY stuff... Great Ideas

[@diyphotography]

Nailed it :)

[@JohnAldred]

Nice to see you getting more organised :)

[@diyphotography]

HA! it's an ongoing challenge :)

[@teambuksa7930]

I love the fact that the cart is already black, the best color there is. Amazing solution!

[@diyphotography]

There is also a white Bror cart, but you know... Pro is always black

[@joostwierenga]

Love this! Ikea is like that, you go in to pick up one thing, you end up with a full cart of stuff; to make you own cart! super smart, only thing missing is some safety edges; dont wanna knock over something and have it roll off, or misplacing a 1/4" and never finding it again. Next to that, and for this price: flawless!

[@diyphotography]

I have literally never went into an IKEA and spent the same amount of money that I planned to. Somehow I always find more things in my cart at checkout. Cool tip about the edges. I'll figure something out

[@joostwierenga]

@@diyphotography go back into Ikea, see what you end up with

[@diyphotography]

Ha!

[@tomsaimon2723]

Great idea 💡

Thanks
