Seeking ULF Portrait Push Cart Ideas-Designs
I have a new park opening right outside my door. I want some sort of push cart for ULF that is easy to push, stable when parked, can handle 8X10 to 14X17 and looks interesting...
Like a food cart, or one of those camera carts in many countries except USA...
Store bought is fine, but I can't think of a good product. Those tiny wheeled shop carts are not good enough. Maybe a 3 wheeled bicycle with room on the back. Maybe a sidecar bicycle. Maybe tow it behind a bicycle. Convert my wheelchair...
I would prefer to have the camera ready to use right on the cart, no tripod. Maybe carry one adjustable stool for a sitter and I would not need to change height of the camera.
Nothing motorized, a box underneath for DDS's and rain gear. An umbrella for shade, couple flat panel reflectors.
Any napkin designs welcome. Here's the target, 20 feet away. http://the606.org/
I have 75 days.
Found this on http://stores.ebay.com/customwagonwh...p2047675.l2563

If it's like the parks around here, a grocery store cart would fit in nicely.
These look nice but pricey... www.uniquevendingcarts.com

Yes, but in Chicago, most shopping carts not in stores are stolen by thieves, used by homeless or abused by philanthropists.
Last weekend was CHIditarod, which is a charity event by drunks for the poor, loosely based on the Iditarod.
I prefer not to do any of the above.
Here are some samples of those carts. http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2011/03/chiditarod-2011/

Here's my first wife using it.

I'm thinking something I can make of wood and bicycle wheels cheaply.
If you look like a food cart you get hassled by cops for a license and gang bangers rob you, so say my ice cream cart guy.
Tough crowd here.

baby jogger
use the back two wheels only
use a solid leg for the front so when you stop..it will be steady
just tip it back a bit, and push it to where you like
I built something like that for 5x7 using a golf pull cart..but a baby jogger for the base would handle a bigger camera

Which one's your wife?.... Just kidding, Randy! That thing looks like Krampus hitching a ride...
Maybe a pony cart? Then you need a stable, of course, and in Chicago! Seriously, how far do you really need to transport your rig?

I'll third the baby jogger stroller. I picked one up used for $50 and had a friend weld a few large washers to it to use as attachment points for bungee cords. I built a box to hold an 11x14 B&J camera and strap it to the frame. The wheels come off and the entire thing folds up fairly easily for transport in a vehicle.
