13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A Scout cart can be customized with a shortened aluminum steadicam mast to store equipment inside when collapsed
- The cart collapses to approximately 7 inches, making it suitable for air travel and compact vehicle storage
- Setup and breakdown of the configured cart takes under 2 minutes
- The collapsed cart footprint measures 31 inches
- Wheels can be removed and packed inside the collapsed cart for air travel
- Rubber padding applied to the cart interior protects cases from slipping and scratching during transport
- When collapsed, the cart can serve as a transport case itself, holding steadicam cases and fitting inside a small car
- Most steadicam accessories including the mast, brackets, and vest holder remain attached during folding, with only the mast and pad requiring removal
