[40] Rock solid, perfect finish, smooth. Looks sexy on set. Does it's job wonderfully, BUT you're gonna pay big bucks for all that.

[40] I am a pro studio photographer, and I use this a/v cart as a camera shooting table during photo shoots. its very strong with casters that are big enough to roll over almost anything, very easy to assemble, I love it, I waited about 3 weeks to get it shipped but now looking back on it am glad I waited..

[Yes] We upgraded from the old school cart. Everyone is using forever. We couldn't be happier with this cardinal. It's gonna last us the rest of the companies life. Excellent materials all around, love all the accessories and hacks you can do to it. We thought about getting the larger card purchased know that you'll have a harder time getting into elevators. So the 40 was a perfect purchase for us and a great addition to our field production.

[Steel] I'm the kind of guy who will spend 2 years researching before making s purchase. The right job came along and warranted an Inovativ cart, it is not a cart for everyone or every job. It has its specific uses. I originally bought a 36 voyager evo. I had 2 issues with it. The keyboard side panel is removable via tools, so either you have it installed or uninstalled, didn't make sense to me. The biggest reason I returned it for the Apollo was the the corner accessory mount on the Apollo. This is straight up genius and instead smof spending money to rig things to the side of the voyager and walking away with a more bulky setup, I'm able to pop stands, arms, baby pins straight into all 4 corner columns. It is, sick!!


But hold on the one thing I knew but wanted to ignore and it proves to be a problem now. While the Apollo technically can be broken down for travel, it is so heavy and time consuming that it will make me think twice before taking it on jobs. It takes 2 people to load it into a car, it takes 10-15 minutes to set it up vs 2-3 minutes on the voyager. The voyager setup is extremely quick and portable, the columns already have the handles on it and the side bars on it, you life and it clicks into place. The Apollo, every component needs to be broken down and setup. There's no videos showing you the difference between the cart. I wish the company would make more content. I still would go with the Apollo because of the feature I highlighted above.


Another note to be aware of the apollo top is not height adjustable like the voyager is.


What did not matter to me was the fact the Apollo can handle double the weight. I can't see myself ever exceeding the 600lb weight limit of the voyager. 1200lbs for the Apollo seems excessive.

[Yes] If you wonder whether the Apollo or any other Inovativ model is right for you, keep in mind that the Apollo 40 is nearly 20 kilos heavier than the similar sized Inovativ carts. Carrying it up and down stairs by yourself with wheels and everything inside it, is not recommended.

I chose the Apollo 40 model solely for the corner cam lock system and the folding lip, not the extra weight capacity.

It seems ridiculously expensive, but if it behaves nicely for many years the price may be just right. The cart is really well constructed and looks great.

[40] This cart was easy to assemble, and the onboard power strip is very convenient, as we always have to plug in both the computer and projector. To adjust it you have to take out four bolts, so it's not a super fast or convenient adjustment, but since we don't need to adjust it frequently, it works great for us.
