Your one stop shop for everything photo-video
Camera carts are wonderful things when working in the studio or at certain locations. That is to say, locations with a lot of flat ground that small wheels work on. Proper studio carts, however, can be expensive.
There are plenty of roller carts out there for other purposes, that are much less expensive and can be adapted. In this video, Chung Dha shows us an inexpensive $100 cart and how he modifies it for his needs.
As the name suggests, a studio cart (a.k.a video cart or tethering cart) is a cart for your studio. Duh. As your studio grows and you need to move things around, a studio cart can really help your workflow. Obviously, it can help when you move things around. But there are more benefits. For example, you can mount a laptop, a camera, or a monitor on the cart, making it a portable shooting setup.
The only issue is that those film carts don’t come cheap. Even the most basic cart from brands like Inovativ or Proaim can set you back a good amount. And to be honest, those are incredible carts with lots of features. For example, they fold down for travel and have a massive set of wheels. But for studio use, where you don’t really need to break anything down or have massive wheels, you can save quite a bit, while having a super-sturdy, super-functional cart.
