[Pneumatic] Other than Inovativ Voyager, I was also considering other brands such as Proaim victor 1.1 and Adicam as the price saving was quite significant. The reason why I decided to bite the bullet and go for Voyager is the speed of setup, teardown and weight. In comparison, voyager EVO is significantly lighter.

Other systems requires the screwing of various knobs after placing the shelf or the 4 poles. Proaim 4 poles needs to be removed when dismantling as it is a non flip design and its top shelf requires 2 man to install. This is a big flaw IMO as I always work in small team or alone.

Adicam poles are also not aligned corner to corner with 2 poles closer than the other 2. This will cause alignment issues as I want to install clamps to hold lightstands on the long side of the cart. The cart locking system is also based on Inovativ old design.


Voyager top shelf height could also be adjusted and increased to hold more cargo at the bottom shelf. This is something not possible for the other brands.

The last thing I want is to spend money on a cart which will frustrate and slow me down especially when I need to setup and teardown multiple times in a day. Pay peanut get monkey, buy cheap buy twice.
I see this as a long term investment which I could easily use over 10-15 years and is well worth the money.

[Aluminum] Just got it and with the exception of one of the wheel locks not totally closing everything is a as advertised.Gonna be more of a hassle to send wheel back than its worth. Hopefully it will not fall off. Also did not realize that the rear wheels don't turn like the front ones. Makes moving to different positions in small spaces like studio a bit of a hassle. But get ready to spend a lot more $$$$ for add ons. Nothing here is inexpensive. The monitor stand set up i want costs twice what the very good BenQ monitor i'm buying costs. But as everything time will tell but it looks like we'll have a great time together.

[, 2] This is a really heavy piece of equipment, but it is solid and will last a long time. We're happy with the purchase!

[88 lb] I debated on buying a $3500 cart for quite a while but I quickly realized this is essentially my desk when I'm working. No more putting your cases in the dirt on location. I also like that my kit can be contained very easily - especially important on location shooting. Easy setup for a client to view images. it just makes life better as a photographer when you're shooting on a set in-studio or on location. A Manfrotto magic arm & clamp holds up a smallrig iPad mount. I added an inexpensive arca style plate and Sirui MP-20 Quick Release Platform with a 3/8 male threaded adapter to attach the iPad holder to the arm.

[, 2] I own a Scout EVO as well but needed a second cart. I must say, the quality of th Voyager just blows the Scout away far as quality.

[Aluminum] Do you pay a premium for Inovativ products? Yes. But what you get are products that clearly underwent serious thought, design, and manufacturing. The Voyager cart is quality to the extreme and it'll be an asset on set. I foresee this cart lasting many, many years beyond the warranty of 5 years that included. I went with the 36 in. size so I can get it into smaller indoor sets easier, and I got the x-top for when I use it as a computer/tethering workstation. Although it's not currently pictured, the x-top does come with the side that is removable. I was pleasantly surprised to see it did come with the side because I expected it come with nothing there, as pictured. The removable side is bolted down with four 1/4-20 bolts and nuts, and you'll need a hex key to remove it. I replaced the regular nuts with 1/4-20 wingnuts so I could remove and reattach the removable side by hand, without needing the hex key (See pics). It's also a lot faster attaching and detaching with the wingnuts. It'll cost you about a buck at any hardware store for four wingnuts. Having that side attached to the cart makes it a lot easier and faster when moving lots of gear without fear of stuff sliding off the side when the lip isn't attached. You don't get the foldable lip on the Voyager model, so this is a decent work-around.

They pack it very well for shipping so don't fret about that.

I nearly bought a Proaim cart before I decided to go with the Inovativ Voyager. I have zero regrets about that decision.

[Pneumatic] I think this size is the best compromise. It's called a 36 but this one is actually almost 40 including the handle. Adjustable top shelf height is a nice feature.

[Aluminum] This is huge upgrade for me. Been using a Rock-n-Roller cart for years (which is great and has it's place too) but it just can't handle the weight of everything I want to bring and do so in a way that I think is safe and professional. I've only rolled this out on a couple of jobs so far but I can already see the value. Just moving from place to place is so much easier. Also the fact that it packs down small enough to fit into the back of my SUV along with my gear really makes this all work. The only issue I have with it is that it is so darn heavy. I have to take the wheels out to load it into the truck without breaking my back. But the weight is also what gives it stability, so it's all good. Definitely recommend if you can afford it. This is a piece of equipment I will keep for my career, and that justifies the investment.
