The Only Way to carry Gear! (feat. Adicam Production Cart)

[@joshwhitee]

Best cameracart video i've seen to date and i've been watching alot while i try to find a way to afford one!

[@GidonLasch]

That is very nice from you, thank you very much! You should maybe look in to what tilta is announcing I think I have seen a prototype from them, should be much cheaper.

[@MrDanielWaters]

Great video, and very well kitted out cart! I'd love to see you talk about how you have your Euroboxes set up for carrying a fully rigged out camera - never seen that before and now I think I need it for my C70 setup.

[@GidonLasch]

Thank you very much! Yes, the Euroboxes are pretty much the only way to carry the rigged-up camera. I don’t like to disassemble my gear, and this way it’s easy to carry. The FX3 with a monitor literally fits in no camera bag at all, and that’s the problem with many cameras. I have an inlay inside the boxes and some foam to protect it. I can really recommend trying it out!

Nice video, I use these for water bottle holder (Accmor Bike Cup Holder, Bike Water Bottle Holders, Universal 360 Degrees Rotation Cup Holder) but I like the one you're using better, what brand is it and is it on Amazon? Many comments are complaining about the high cost for professional carts, true they are not cheap but it is a career investment, think 20 years plus of usage... not to mention the precious production time (and $$$) saved on being mobile on location and in studio... having everything at your finger tips. With accessories it becomes a Video village, a first AC camera rigging station, camera cases, sound cases, c-stands etc mobile cart, they are built like tanks. Well worth the investment!

[@GidonLasch]

Thank you very much! The cup holder is called RoboCup, and you can get it on Amazon. They also have some nice accessories as well. I am absolutely on your side regarding the price of these carts, and I really tried to get around buying one by trying lots of different cheap Amazon carts, but nothing really works except professional gear. The thing is, if you are willing to work with cheaper equipment, it might be fine for a while. But as soon as you start hiring people, they will tell you, “Either get me working gear or carry your stuff yourself.” At that point, it’s the right time to invest in something of higher quality - and that doesn’t just apply to camera carts.

@@GidonLasch Most definitely, I've actually had AC's, PA's, DP's and most importantly Clients, comment on my efficiency and professionalism using these carts... and that my friend has translated into more repeat bookings and an easier time booking a crew. ... Thanks for your quick reply on the cup holder :)

[@GidonLasch]

Of course 👌

[@RawloftheDead]

The accessory hook for the stands. Can you tell me where to find that ? Great vdeo

[@GidonLasch]

I got it from the Adicam website but it should be available at many websites

[@RobbieMcKane]

Roll on the car video!

[@GidonLasch]

Sunday!

[@WinstonMcfarlane]

Great video

[@GidonLasch]

Thx very much

[@JvdeNeve]

nice video ! What did you use to mount the umbrella? I haven't seen anything like it yet.. Would be very interested because so far I always have to use magic arms and clamps to do that same job.

[@GidonLasch]

Thank you very much, the umbrella originally is for mounting on balcony’s and it came with that clamp to mount it on to the railing, which also works great for the adicam. I don’t know where to get these since I have bought it from eBay but if you look for it you should be able to finde one that works.

[@RobbieMcKane]

Thanks Gidon, which accessory are you using for your monitor mount?

[@GidonLasch]

The steadycam/Acessory mount from adicam

[@RobbieMcKane]

@@GidonLasch Thanks!

Why why why do carts cost FOUR FIGURES! There’s just no excuse

[@MattHarder]

True. You could easily use a Handcart and put a desk on it for under 150€. It’s that simple. I really don’t get it either why this stuff is so damn expensive

[@GidonLasch]

Because it is built very well and not many people purchase these carts, if you want something reliable and long-lasting, I think it’s worth investing the money. However, if you’re skilled at DIY, that could also be a great solution

[@picxlmedia7856]

Exactly!!! Anytime something is for filmmakers it has a ridiculous premium. The most overpriced nonsense

[@MePeterNicholls]

Why why why do carts cost FOUR FIGURES! There’s just no excuse for the ludicrous prices. At. All.

[@GidonLasch]

Yes, it’s a steep price, but it’s always the same with film gear. You need very good quality, and the production numbers are small. The higher the quality, the more absurd the price may seem, but to get 10% more quality, it often requires at least a 30% increase in price. I hope that makes sense to you-it’s not greed that makes professional gear so expensive.

[@MePeterNicholls]

@@GidonLasch nah I think this one piece of gear that’s an absolute rip off.

[@mpeg2000]

@@MePeterNicholls But we do a 2min video and charge 20k... because it's tailor made. These things don't get produced in big numbers. Producers also won't become billionaires because of it so i'd say you get ripped off with others things but not these.
