RASTORDER MB cart

Just you, your mixer bag, your radios and your boom pole. Well maybe a bit of extra space for the camera op's battery's and the directors script. You know maybe the camera op & director should buy their own - they could put their monitor on it.

• The cart:

This cart is a great place to work from when you need to stand still for a bit. Cameras have tripods, now your mixer bag has a place to touch down. It doesn't fold up - It does come apart for shipment - both by Rastorder, and by you to locations. Top & mid shelf attach to their own frames - which are bolted to the front and back upright frames. Bottom shelf is screwed to rear upright frame & bolted to front upright frame using castor bolts. It has a main top deck for the bag, with 2 shelves underneath. Offset handle at rear, with large removeable hook just under it and boom pole mount beside it. Another boom pole mount in front and a hook position either side. The mixer bag goes accross the cart so as to have unimpeded access to the sides and is worked at from the front. The frame extends up, front & back. To secure your mixer you just need to hook the strap over either one. Frame is made from 25mm square aluminium. Its designed to be wheeled about on its large rear wheels and shuffled about on its castors...

• Logistics:

The Mb cart is not designed to work from the front, like a drama cart. It is designed to work over the top of, with mixer bag in much the same position as it is when it's around your neck/shoulder or in a harness. So you can boom and reach down to mix at the same time. Sure it has a boom pole mount on the back - but more importantly it has one on the front - where you can easily & safely rest your boom while you check levels etc. Cable hanging is also within finger tip reach. Its a tripod for a mixer bag where you can stash it & your boom pole - and walk away without someone tripping over it. When its go time - headphones on with 2 hands, power on, grab the pole and open a fader - 2 easy.
