That looks just right! Are those garden cart wheels?

I'll bet you can balance this nicely so little or no amount of lift is necessary as you move it along.

Do you push it...or pull it like a rickshaw?

Why not a baby carry cart? Have seen some deluxe models, covered and rainproof for less than $30 at rummage sales.

Some you push, some you pull. A few designs even seem to have shock absorbing features.

I have heavy babies

I rate the cart at 300 lbs, the wheels have adjustable spokes with 26" no flat tires

It rolls very well, as the the wheels and pillow blocks have sealed bearings

I will add bells and whistles over time

The original design was for 8' pickup truck bed with 8' handles allowing it to be easily unloaded with a heavy baby on it

one person

but I sold my F150 and no longer drive

What a nice DIY project, and so well done. Please post some images with it loaded and in the field.

I would like to see a parts kit to convert a golf bag pull cart into a camera bag transporter. Smaller wheels to m be sure, but it would fold up and fit into the trunk. Mobile enough for off the path travel . . .like a golf course fairway. . .. maybe even a graded trail.

Weighed Tin Cannon just now

I must be feeling better!

The rig as shown is 143 lbs

and even more important

I inadvertently made the cart the exact size to mount my huge Deardorff 11X14 with 75" of extension, it weighs more...

Now that's a Cannon!

...could you use adjustable length hiking poles, with their quick release locks?

Tin Can

29-Jun-2022, 04:07

I could but they are too expensive to hack and NOT work very long

The 1/2-13 SS thread allows very accurate leveling with wing nuts

and camera tilt

It is too low for easy GG usage, so I will be raising the camera

perhaps with new purchased XL HD milk crates

as it is a 4 leg cart, I will carry a few plastic trailer levelers, I already have

I have a hiking stool (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009WH1920?tag=amz-mkt-chr-us-20&ascsubtag=1ba00-01000-a0047-win10-other-nomod-us000-pcomp-feature-scomp-feature-scomp&ref=aa_scomp&th=1) like this to put in the misc box

I'm wondering if you could make some wooden wheel ramps, like the steel ramps used for doing car repairs. You could store the ramps like fenders on your cart, so that they could be removed when necessary to raise the unit. Your adjustable poles at the handle ends could keep the unit level at the new height.

Tin Can

30-Jun-2022, 07:01

Thank you for your input!

I am now making stage 2, which is storage and a second level camera perch

I am adding 17" sides with a strong top

No front or back, a tunnel

Cameras can be on top, sides and lower level

I can sit and use top level GG way easier

However my giant Pinhole Boxes are truly P&S

I have an Ebike. Like all it adds power when you pedal, levels 1 to 5. It also has a twist grip throttle for "flank speed" in a hurry.

I wonder if 1 powered wheel, not used all the time but as a helper in difficult situations. Put a thumb throttle on one of your handles, use a small light battery.

Now days I stay off road, ride the trails. Let my phone guide me.

Keep updating us, just thought I had.

I know other members are DIY a scissors jack

Just found my old enemy. AKA Transmission Jack (https://www.harborfreight.com/450-lb-low-lift-transmission-jack-61232.html?ccdenc=eyJjb2RlIjoiNDA3NDMyMTEiLCJza3UiOiI2MTIzMiIsImlzIjoiMTAzLjk5MiJ9&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=17607724546&campaignid=17607724546&utm_content=135543373142&adsetid=135543373142&product=61232&store=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtvqVBhCVARIsAFUxcRuyt55FwZsIqmqdTK57dY_74VIOt9OvGkSGhRLwDnF7r-U18GGgRS0aAsscEALw_wcB)

But this might be a good purchase for me

It lifts 450 lbs 17" with a screw

I need to think more, I will never? change out a transmission

again

I was also thinking a transmission jack...the mechanical (non hydraulic) scissors jack type like the "basic" model from Harbor Freight. The gear ratio on this might be a bit high though...so lots of turns to get the camera lifted.

There was another post here recently which featured a scissors - type arrangement, where the platform gets lifted and fixed to adjustable heights via aligning holes in the scissors arms and inserting pegs through these holes. Problem here is that if the camera is mounted you'd need to hold it up in exact position with one hand while inserting pegs. So a crank handle arrangement would be much better.

But maybe with that HF unit...you could bring along a (battery operated) variable speed drill? I'd think with the camera being a quite a bit lighter in weight than most transmissions, the torque necessary to raise it should be minimal. You could even create a harness for this drill to fix it in place and run the switch wiring out to a couple of momentary switches on the handles of your cart - how cool would that be? :cool:

Tin Can

After sleeping on it

Not buying and trying the jack

My cart second level will solve the problem

My design for 14X36" camera is settled with all materials to proceed

When that one is made and tested, I will have more to share with our worldwide audience

Then make at least two, perhaps up to six 1/2 scale

as I have the bits

Sooner or later 14X16/17/18/19"

Vaughn

2-Jul-2022, 10:11

Fun project. I like the idea of reversing the camera so that one can sit with a stool and stare at the GG without the handles around me to accidentally bump into. But it has its own cons.
Will the 14x36 be mounted 'face-forward' or facing sideways on the cart?

Tin Can

3-Jul-2022, 04:00

Vaughn

The cart is easily modified and customized for me

Any camera on the new second level may be rotated 360 degrees

It is multipurpose

Load big tripods, lighting, tarp in the lower level, a real chair, lunch and signage on sides

The new cameras will take a while, but I sure want them ready by Labor Day

I anticipate multiple ULF, LF, tiny format 3X4, 2X3 sheet film cameras on board

But I am still working on my 14X36" Pinhole/SF Lens one shot camera box and cart

I made the tunnel, and now working on box

It is 18X24X36" OD

The BOX may get a turntable as I found a big one, regardless it will be rotate 360 degree with leveling and tilt, both horizontal and vertical views

I just got a very fancy Pinhole, the biggest they make, https://daystarlaser.com/

The box will be convertible from flat to anamorphic

and focusable 500 mm SF lens

For fun this year, I've been looking at electric powered carts/garden carts/wheelbarrows. I think there is a market for something like that. Imagine you are out in your garden (unless you are one of the lucky ones that live in a 600 sq feet Brooklyn apartment), and you need to get dirt from point A to point B. If you worked in a warehouse you know what I'm talking about...those pallet movers.

Your garden cart with a throttle can take it up that hill at 1MPH loaded. I'm sure someone out there in the sticks have managed to McGuyver something like that. 'Letric is the future!

That's cool!! My Rad has a frame mounted front basket that will hold 10kg. The trailer would be great to go camping. Air mattress, sleeping bag, tent, water, food, a good knife. Extra battery and charger. A small tripod and a field camera.. sign me up

Good idea!

Really nice machine welds

I received my little trailer from Rad power bikes. Pretty cool, 100 lb limit, I wouldn't put that much on unless on level terrain. My concern would be brakes. My bike has disc brakes but still. I will post pictures later.

I used to use my Radical Trailer with bicycle, a close by member filled my trailer with good paper and chem

wore me out, cars stopped as I wheezed across a busy 4 lane

I have a collapsible wagon... I use it for LF and ULF. I just wish it had inflatable tires, for a smoother ride.

Maybe

flat tires are really horrible

I have 2 small well made very quiet compressors

One for shed tires and the second for DR

I have many tires

and when I had a car I also

always

Thats very interesting.
I would prefer a bit longer front part of platform and quick removable wheels for more comfortable pushing this baby in to minivan trunk.

Another design was for my 8'ft pickup truck bed

I was already handicapped

ramps

and very long handles to load and unload with wheels on

Custom

Never owned a minivan

The boat jack was very cheap, it will control tilt fore and aft

3 of the backs also adjust L&R for level

I wanted an old HD wood camera stand, but shipping is a nightmare

The camera has rear controls for swing and tiit

It can hold securely very heavy brass lenses, on it is Cooke 14.5, the filter is 123mm

My Doll is 70" and never talks back

i hope

I just ordered makeup for it, for better contrast

Big Packard with sync

almost forgot and the detail is forgotten

Got it back!

The Packard Shutter Company has shortages, I noticed while buying a new pump

https://packardshutter.com/ This IS the correct URL, not the other

Finally using my NOS 8X10 slider which I bought years ago on LFPF

I think the camera is Post War WWII

Camera is serial # 143

next up the way bigger Pinhole
