The features are aimed to compete with the top tier Innovative carts, not the base level Pro Aim carts. The drop-in integrated corner post risers for example is a feature you can't find for less than 4k-5k from anyone else (as far as I know). We could have got an $1100 proaim cart for just hauling stuff around, but we liked the additional features on this cart that the pro aim line of carts didn't have. Depends what you want to use the cart for. We are producing from the cart, using it to carry stuff and replace stands on set so we can be mobile and nimble. Rolling around with lights, diffusion, camera, and boom pole ready to go is awesome for us.
Very interesting, thanks for showing this cart! Are the casters pneumatic or foam-filled? Personally I wouldn't go for anything different from foam filled wheels, because they are maintenance-free. Too many pneumatic wheels around that need to be constantly refilled with air. Also, the top part seemed to be twisting a bit when you handled it... do you find it sturdy when rolling it around under load with a ton of things?
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. The wheels are air, but they are standard 10in wheels so you could switch them out if you want. I find air wheels ride smoother over bumps so I'll take the extra maintenance. There is some give, but it's sturdy under load. If it was 100% stiff it would be more likely to break so the give is actually a good thing.
