I purchased this cart December 2016 after considering many others. I was looking for something that could handle all of my misc. gear such as studio lights, tripods, light stands, stools, printer paper, photo folders, extension cords, backgrounds and so much more that we normally loaded onto a collapsible cart. The only problem with our old one is we had to load it and unload it every time we packed up the van. This cart allows us to get everything we need prepacked for our job onto the cart and when we get there we just roll it out with the rest of our rolling carts and off we go. At the end of the job we put everything back onto the cart and roll it back into the van. Man, it is a time saver. It saves us at least 15 minutes of loading time. My only complaint is some of the predrilled holes for the bottom shelf did not line up so we had to drill them out. I wish the accessories were better priced but I think this cart will last us many years and I am now glad I purchased it.

Then it on the wrench fell out after two days of use. I was able to save the bit and used lock-tite to secure it and seems to be holding up. But 30 bucks for a tool that breaks with two days of light use is not acceptable in my book. I like the design but the poor quality sucks!

I used this paper as a shadow play scrim in a multimedia performance. It worked very well suspended on a dowel on stands. Perfectly diffuse light and shadow came through.

If you find yourself in the same situation that I do... Your gaffer ordered the wrong cart and you bought it from him, only to find out the wheels don't lock, you'll love these casters. Took all of about 5 minutes to swap with the old `non-locking` casters and life it good. I gave them a 4 out of 5 stars because they're just OK quality but definitely do that job!

Solid construction, just what I needed to mount a tripod head on a boom.

It is a piece of flat aluminum with holes in it.

The stand is what you expect. Steel, black, sliding leg. Processing takes too long, but that isn't the stand's fault.

I'm retired from the picture business but use grip equipment allot in my shop at home because of its versatility and light weight. I used two of these mag clamps on c-stands to hold/support an out feed table for my table saw made from two 2x4's and plywood.

Didn't even know this adapter existed until I needed it. Used it for some Mole Richardson 2K studio lights to adapt to portable stand. They're heavy and I knew I needed a solid built adapter. I was concerned it would not be heavy duty enough to hold the fixture securely. Well it did! The adapter was well built and perfect for the job. Even found some others uses for them. Perfect little problem solver to keep with the gear. I've got 3 now.

Dana dollies are great products, very robust. This one is no different. Nice that it all comes in one bundle for a good price.

This thing is heavy duty and precision machined. I've mounted a Red Dragon with an old Cooke 20-100 zoom sitting on a Miller Arrow 50 fluid head. to it. Coupled with two Matthews Slider Stands and some 1 inch square Aluminum railing sitting on top the Matthews Universal Stand Attachments, it is rock solid.

Great hood for your 5` monitor. Doesn't even require extra velcro adhesion. The elastic bands really help keep it in place. The bottom section is also designed to stretch so your hand can still comfortably access the touchscreen. Great product. Highly recommend!

The surveillance looks good. It sounds like another other quality surveillance but the microphone clip completely snapped off from a a small tug from my 3rd day of use.

There's not much to say - this is something that just works and disappears into the background. I like that the stem can slip through the grip head easily, but there is a hole provided if you want to put a pin or similar that will prevent it slipping back out. Came with two screw lengths, which was nice.
