@@threefoldtv I'm planning on putting together a grip truck of my own soon and that looks perfect! I'd love to look at maybe buying one at that time! Or at least buying the plans for it!
Love the design, been looking at some solutions and while it may not be what I do yet, I could see building one of these in the future for my new production van as well.
I've been geeking out on production carts for a while now, so I was totally jazzed to witness the Threefold custom cart. You guys should see if there is commercial interest in this solution. I had two questions: how easy is it to lose that locking pin, and does it go through doorways easily?
This cart design looks well though out. I’d probably cut off some of the speed/ gel spots for some floppy/flag storage but otherwise I really like the layout. If I was needing one I’d probably be calling and asking.
Great design, but those friction brakes on the wheels wont be as good as the foot brakes with anti-skid you find on proper studio carts. Maybe an improvement for your v2.0!
Hi Threefolds, I have been following your videos carefully and trust me it has really helped me a lot as I even got my first contract not too long I started my video production company. But I need your advice please, Someone with a video production company has interest in my skill and suggested we partner and push our dreams together. Believe me he has all the means more than I do, equipments, offices etc. Am scared I could end up working for his vision and dumping mine since I have nothing and he wants me to jump into office and and work from there. Please advise me
Sorry guys but who’s idea was to ad a crate UNDER the cart in between the whells??? Almost even a cable-mat would get caught in it. I mean, that thing will be a problem almost in every location excepting studio. Even on any street. Imaging having to go down from sidewalk to the middle of the street and you don’t have a ramp? No to talk any rough terrain or hilly terrain. I don’t know. I would review that before crews start hating it. BTW, this isn’t just shitty critique of your work which I actually really like. It’s just that I see that underbelly compartment potentially creating problems.
Not us. It's industry standard. Every major manufacturer of production set carts puts crates underneath. Feel free to take a look yourself. Second, this cart is so heavy nobody is going to casually be off-roading with this thing anywhere. www.adorama.com/l/Video/Video-Accessories/Backstage~Production-Carts?sf=Price&st=de
@@threefoldtv It depends if the cart might be used on-location. Those designs with a crate storage below where the wheels are are probably expected to be used in studios exclusively wherre the ground is almost always flat with the occasional cable ramp. Or it can stay on the truck when on-location. But I do agree with @bruce's feedback as something to consider, but totally depends on the kinds of locations you get into.
