Ultimate DIY Film Camera Cart!! Budget From Brands Like | Inovativ | adicam | Proaim

Are you looking for a camera cart that won't break the bank! Being a Cinematographer for over 10 years it has gotten really annoying having to lug gear around everywhere. I finally decided it was time to get a cart but when I was looking at carts (Inovativ, adicam, Proaim) I was blown away at how much they cost!

I then found an awesome YouTuber by the name of Alan Chung films with a DIY cart made with a Rock n Roller and it got me thinking. I then started drawing up ideas on what I wanted in my own cart and this is what I came up with.
