[108 lb] It’s hard to understate the build quality of this cart. I’ve been renting the other industry standard cart made in the U.S. for a few months. Unsure if the build quality of the Atlas V2 would stack up. I decided the other brand was just outside my budget so I bought the 48” Atlas V2 when it went on sale. It just arrived and wow this thing is really well built. While the US made cart is very well designed and weight was a factor in their design, this thing is absolutely a beast. But not overly built in a way some things can be. The fit and finish is really really nice. I’m pretty picky about the details and Proaim really nailed it.

Pros:

The top and bottom deck are milled aluminum with zero flex.

The flop down top tray rail adds strength to the top deck when it’s down well as the hinges are very sturdy. The version I have is not the piano hinge style. Milled aluminum hinges. The latch mechanism is very satisfying.

There are zero sharp spots as far as I can seen. Everything is chamfered and milled smooth.

The quality of mill work is not quite to the level of Tilta but pretty close.

The connections are all well made. Not loose or fiddly at all.

I’m 6’1” and the height of the top deck is very comfortable slightly taller than other carts.

Cons

It’s pretty heavy. Hard to call this a con because I wanted a sturdier cart than the Inovativ and really I dont see how they could have made this lighter without sacrificing rigidity. Not so much that packing it up and loading it into a car would be hard but you would not want to fly with it.

The carpet on the two decks feels cheap. I’ll probable swap it out with a medium grey loop as to see small black screws and other bits.

If you are looking for your first cart and don’t have the budget for the more expensive brands. You can’t go wrong. It would even work great as a one man simple g&e cart. In a studio environment where it stays built this cart is a no brainer.

I’m massively pleased.

[, 2x Tub] It’s kinda simple, it adds a baby pin to the cart, but that’s great! I use it as a light mount, one less C stand to carry around. Or I use it as a Steadimate Steadicam stand while balancing my rig or between shoots. Very handy to have.

Only minor complaint, it would be nice to have the hardware that lets you clamp on the hardware after the cart is assembled instead of having to install before the top shelf is on. That said, it’s not something you rearrange a ton.

[108 lb] Although is very heavy, is great for a set. Moves really smooth. Holds a lot of weight and is very steady and safe for your equipment

[Aluminum] This case had the right size for what we needed. It’s very slight weight while being super solid. Looks well crafted and I hope it’ll last a long time. It came with plenty of extra padding so the options on how to configure the case are endless. Recommended!

[, 2x Tub] I've been filming professionally for 30 years. I wish I would have had this cart 20 years ago. Big time saver and does an outstanding job transporting all my camera gear to set. It's heavy when broke down but should be after all the weight it can hold. I could not be happier with this purchase and no more back pain lifting gear and making multiple trips.

[Pneumatic] This production cart is built extremely well. Initial set up was easy and it takes about 3 to 4 minutes to assemble regularly. It doesn't bend or sway any kind of way. It supports my gear and fits through doors easily. I got the medium cart amd it's plenty of space. I'm a solo DP and I needed this cart.

[, 2x Tub] I have had great success and work flow from my two PROAIM production carts, including the 42-inch model that I'm using for Video Village transport. Let's be honest: production carts tend to be ABSURDLY priced. They are basically four wheels and a simple metal frame. There is NO REASON except pricing GREED that some companies are charging $3,000+ for something you could make from $300 worth of materials purchased at Home Depot. Still, time is money, and if you want a solid and reliable cart that's ALREADY fully assembled and quickly broken down for transport, try this PROAIM cart or others in their product line. If you buy from BHPhoto, you SAVE a lot from the international freight out of India.

[108 lb] I didn't want to spend this much, but it's worth every penny! Now if I can find someone to push it I'd b all set!

[108 lb] Very solid cart with breaks. Wheels are good for off-road terrain. Comes in just under 50 pounds so you won't get charged for extra weight if you check it on an airplane. Seems extremely well built - this thing is really heavy duty. I would recommend adding some grip tape to the loading area though to help keep slippery cases from moving around. With the expansion you can fit a ton of stuff on this thing. Very happy with it so far, seems like it should last a really long time.

[Pneumatic] This is a bargain...as solid as expected...I replaced all the knobs with #8 metric hex bolts to create a few inches of space at the edges of the shelves... everything from my Innovativ fits this cart. Made is India obviously by folks aware of set work and Innovativ cart design. If you need a solid cart and portability and breakdown are not a big priority, then this stuff works.
