Studio carts have become a big thing lately, with lots of new ones being released over the last couple of years. The newest is the Digitalfoto Titan ($1,099). This big, beefy studio cart will keep all your gear organised in the studio while keeping it all mobile.
It’s not an inexpensive cart, and we wanted to check it out in person. So, during this month’s IBC 2024 in Amsterdam, we went along to the Digitalfoto booth to find out more.
Digitalfoto Titan – Built for photographers and filmmakers
There are all kinds of carts out there for different things these days. Many may choose to go with an inexpensive generic cart and customise it or even convert a golf cart for location use. However, the Digitalfoto Titan is built specifically for filmmakers, with some interesting thoughts put into its design.
One of the things that immediately strikes you about the Digitalfoto Titan is the sheer number of 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 sockets available with Arri locking pin holes. This means you can attach all kinds of arms and accessories to keep things close to hand.
It has a maximum payload of 300kg. So, it should be able to handle just about any kind of gear you’d want to put on top of it – or hanging off the side of it. Even if you turn it into a DIT cart with a couple of heavy servers and a monitor on it, it’s still not going to break a sweat.
It features a toolless design, and when you’re not using it or for transport to other locations, the whole thing breaks down and packs up into a small package. The top and bottom shelves essentially act as the two halves of a case inside which everything else resides.
Price and Availability
The Digitalfoto Titan is available to pre-order now for $1,099. Shipping is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
