Rubbermaid CamCart

[@kyleranney]

you had me till 2:22, "Pulls out big ass welded cart with a legit break."

[@ConstantHungerE]

Damn. I came on youtube to find an easy DIY cart mod and now I just want to learn how to weld and build one of these babies haha. Really amazing work you've done on your cart. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@JackChapman]

So I basically just need to manually build another cart from scratch :)

[@cinemak1759]

Or just add pneumatic tires with brakes- this was too heavy to be honest.

[@anthonyscopino4934]

This is actually phenomenal. Been looking into buying a cam cart for so long, but haven’t been able to justify the large amount of money needed to spend on one. I’m pretty handy but this seems a bit out of my wheel house. Really cool to see how you’ve been able to constantly evolve the design over time! Solid job man.

[@cinemak1759]

Just so you know- this cart was too heavy to be practical. If it was made with aluminum tubes instead of steel would be more practical, but I don't weld aluminum- yet... But gotta try no?

[@FloridaFamFive]

Such a fascinating cart ideal. It's great to give options. I wish you would of loaded it up to see how to looks in camera mood.

[@cinemak1759]

Options are good, but for all practical purposes this cart was too heavy. Perhaps if I made it out of aluminum tubing instead of steel, but I don't TIG weld...

[@FloridaFamFive]

@@cinemak1759 was it to heavy to push. Your not lifting it and looks like you broke it down to move it?

[@karlkimdp]

Not too heavy to push at all. Just heavier than it should be compared to working with Magliners and other "typical" camera carts.

[@FloridaFamFive]

@@karlkimdp oh I see. I think you did a great job on this cart. Hope to see more.

[@freddiehill1512]

Great build!

[@thereeljahjah]

Whoa… you are a proper tinkerer. I very much enjoyed seeing your modifications. Thank you for posting. It seems you may as well learn Al TIG welding and make a cart from a magliner… this is already close to that. I have been considering starting with the Onstage cart and build up from there. It’s a bit weak to start with but reasonably light and could possibly be made stronger with more features without welding. What do you think?

[@cinemak1759]

The Onsage cart looks very similar to the Rock N Roller carts. A decent starting point because they are very light, and affordable. Just so you know, this cart project I made years ago ended up being too heavy to be practical. So working with the Onstage or Rock n Roller isn't a bad starting point- just bear in mind weight- I have seen them buckle when overloaded. In general it's a never ending process still you find what works for you.

[@thereeljahjah]

@@cinemak1759 copy that. Yes I am aware of the frail structure of the Rock N Roller/Onstage. I have a friend who did a RNR mod which works great for him. Its bit heavier but quite good but it’s for his digital VTR services which are not as demanding as carrying a full camera kit which is what I need (and what you were building). Thank for the reply and encouragement. Now to learn welding.

[@vinnievictory1186]

1st AC extraordinaire... whoa.

[@meatintaco2002]

Thank you for sharing =) I'd like to attempt a decent cart build.

Just found this channel through this video. There's a ton of great content here. Very surprised you are still such a small channel. I quite liked your presentation and I can tell you actually use your equipment which makes the information all that more applicable to the real world. Anyways, thinking pretty heavily about doing something like this. I've used a Magliner quite a bit, but want a camera cart of my own now that I own so much of my own gear. Would you still start with a Rubbermaid?

[@cinemak1759]

I would probably start with a Magliner to be honest. The Rubbermaids are fine if you are working out of a truck or tall van with ramp or liftgate. I don't have the ideal, portable, knock down cart solution yet. Magliners still take up quite a bit of space in a minivan or SUV.

[@FTGTapGod]

@@cinemak1759 Yeah, that's probably sound advice. I like that something like the Junior Cart from Backstage disassembles flat, but $1000 baseline is hard to justify. I have a hatchback that I converted into a utility vehicle, but even the Junior Cart doesn't fit in width wise so it takes up a lot of space. I guess you have to choose between something portable and something heavy duty. The $1000 is probably worth it for the closest thing to best of both worlds. If I come up with any other ideas I'll be sure to leave a comment.

[@playingbadgolfwell9732]

Very impressive. However, unless you have your own welding gear (stick, mig or tig), I'm not sure what the advantage of these custom Rubbermaid carts would be over a converted Magliner Junior (w/when all is said and done would cost about the same once you factor in the cost of fabrication and materials.) Instead, I think its probably easier and more cost effective to use a 1/2" or 3/4" plywood insert in the bottom tray through which to bolt 8" or 10" casters and then use aluminum or stainless angle iron to reinforce the corners (no welding required.) This would maintain the portability and low-cost advantages of the Rubbermaid cart over the Magliner or Inovativ. Admittedly, my solution would not compare to the quality and durability of your fabricated sub-frame system.

[@cinemak1759]

I've moved towards vertically oriented production carts- they fill out the space in a Sprinter van better. Will try to make that video- it's a time thing...

[@mantoheproject9183]

Pppp

[@rsmolkin]

How would you attach a light stand to that more compact portable cart. I just for an on-stage utc1100, trying to figure out best way to attract a stand, ideally not using clamps

[@cinemak1759]

If you weld you can easily add a baby pin to a portable cart. Outside of that- clamps. So many clamp options these days.

[@365hillclimb]

This looks like a pretty solid build overall. Is there anything you would change about it, now that it's finished? Do you have a use case example?

[@cartapes1601]

Been using these for years. We kill em- ridiculous overloads. Challenge is making a knock down version that is lightweight, and the decks 1" taller- so Pelicans can slide in and out without having to cut the lip.. Have it planned out- just need to make it.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

f you only need 1 more inch why not just cut off one inch from the bottom lip? Should not affect the strength that much. 1 second ago•

[@buddyfx7026]

Offset baby riser, can't find that online for the life of me. By chance could you share a link. Thanks for creating this video! Very inspiring :)

[@cinemak1759]

Here's a B&H link: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1069614-REG/kupo_kg400612_off_set_female_baby_mounting.html BTW hope to post a new camera cart video- aluminum folding camera cart- cheap! (relatively speaking)

[@buddyfx7026]

@@cinemak1759 Man thank you so much! Also, really looking forward to your next video! I ended up buying a discontinued inovativ cart for a nice discount and I'm moddng it. Don't have your skills but I love watching what you create. It for sure gives me ideas :)

[@rkcinematicartstudio3207]

very nice!!

[@austinbridge]

Great idea!

[@6-Iron]

You lost me at the 50th "I made". Time is money. At this point I would just take the hit for a proper purpose-built cart.

[@KienDLuu]

Err. Basically built a cart from scratch and the. Added a butchered plastic cart to it. Lol
