[Steel] 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.

[Steel] I spent couples days to find foldable hand truck but nowadays
it is getting fewer and fewer and couldn't find it. Finally hour train ride lake me to B&H. I finally found the best one . I even can check actual one in the store. amazing service I love B&H and Norris 700 !!
One and only best hand truck!!

[32.5 lb] I use a few different brands of carts on set. We typically only purchased Backstage Magliner carts for camera equipment and lighting gear. I was looking for something lightweight for costumes and make-up that is easy to push around and sturdy. When the cart arrived, some of the bolts had fallen out of the box in shipping. Conecarts was SUPER fast to respond and get another set of bolts shipped out. I can't say enough about how fast and helpful they were.


Overall, the cart does more than what I was expecting. I even rigged up a costume rack that goes on the side. I major plus to this is that it is nearly impossible to tip. I've had issues with Proaim carts tipping over due to not being loaded correctly. Even with a FULLY loaded costume rack with weight all one side, I wasn't able to tip it when I tested it. The engineering is solid!


This thing is more than perfect for this low, low price. I'm very happy they released this cart. It's the perfect middle ground cart.


If you're looking for something to hold super heavy things, look elsewhere. If you're looking for something to roll around a few hundred pounds, no problem.

[Steel] Great cart. Solid as a rock. The only problem is that it’s so heavy that the box it ships in gets torn to pieces by the delivery. I had several screws lying on my driveway and several more missing. But the cart itself is fantastic.

[32.5 lb] If you purchase a CAME-TV 55W or the updated Q55w, this Bowens mount is a must have as it allows you to put soft boxes or other diffusion devices on the light head. However, note that the new Q55 series works best as it has a better system for tightening the tilt screws so a soft box stays where you put it.

[Steel] 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

[Steel] Peerless has the best quality of products.

[32.5 lb] I love this cart. This thing is well built and easy to set up. I did it by myself and had no problem getting everything configured and tightened up. It rolls easily and fits through doors. It's got tons of cheese plate screw holes al over the sides to mount whatever you want, and it's thick, strong cnc milled aluminum so it will last. The wheels are easy to put on and take off, plus the whole thing can be folded up with the wheels fitting inside and it turns into a big rectangle like the obelisk from 2001 A Space Odessa, but with hard wheels on one end and a a handle on the other to roll it around and put it into a van or truck for transport. The, main wheels are big rubber ones that seem to be able to run flat, but inflating them makes the cart roll very easily, and I've take this cart off road on bumpy ground with and Alexa Mini and tons of stuff on it, and it can do it. The accessory ecosystem is very robust as well. I bought two camera mounts with the horse shoe metal bracket and I have different bowl sizes to mount various tripod heads. It is awesome to be able to fully build two cameras on tripod heads and roll onto set with them. I have the tripod holder on one end that carries two tripods, so I can be fully mobile with a two cameras, and even a teleprompter rig. This cart can carry lights, apple boxes, lenses, tools, cables, batteries, a sound bag + mixer, a lap top and a some C-stands or light stands all at once.

[Steel] This adapter will suit my needs with a small modification.

[Steel] Nice little tripod for a very reasonable price.  The top pivot is well made, but unfortunately I am not using it in my setup.
