Very hard rubber.

Digital Imaging Technician. In Hollywood, this is the guy or gal who records everything shot in the production on to hard drives, then does a quick edit of the best takes, following the storyboard, to show the director and clients if it's a commercial shoot. The DIT's I've met typically have a powerful Apple laptop on a cart like this Krane along with a large capacity SSD array and a couple of monitors. They have to be fast at what they do. I've seen directors turn around immediately after a take and say, "Let me see that last take," and he expects to see it right away.

@@davepov yikes. Sounds like a fun job. I've been using a tool (on my mac) called Lossless Cut. It's perfect for quickly trimming things up - without recompressing. Thanks for the detailed explanation. Sounds like an extreme (e)sport.

Yes, I did find it tight in some elevators. I mostly when in at a diagonal and no one else could fit in the elevator but me. Luckily I never ran into a really small elevator. Had that happened I probably would have taken the top shelves off and folded the cart into an "L" shape when put one top shelf back on. I then would probably have had to make more than one trip from my truck to get all the equipment I needed for a shoot. Back when I used a Magliner cart (in another job), I found many elevators I couldn't fit into because that was a huge cart.

I agree with you. Both Inovativ and Magliners are kick-ass carts that can serve the needs of anyone in video/film production. We we bought our Krane cart, it was purely a financial decision, it was all the boss was willing to spend. So, good for you and best wishes for a great year of production for you in 2024!

Thank you for watching.

Dean retired two years ago and sold the company to a guy in Dallas. He's a nice guy and a good boss. Since I did this video, I retired and for the first time since the company was created in the 1990's, there is no longer a full time videographer at Encore. They now hire freelancers to shoot and edit video. All the great equipment I bought over the last 5 years or so, now just sits gathering dust.

@@davepov I’ve been curious as to why I never see Encore with a video crew these days at events I’m filming. Honestly it’s been a benefit for my business, but now this makes sense! I appreciate the video! I’ve been going back and forth on so many different carts to replace my current setup and this was by far the best breakdown I’ve found so far.

@@baldwinvp I retired and moved to Tennessee and they did not replace me at Encore. In fact, they are looking for freelance DP's to shoot for them.

@@davepov I’ll have to give them a shout! I hope you are enjoying retirement and Tennessee! I love the weather and scenery out there.

It is a bit heavy but it will last a long time. We use our regularly and we are tough on it but it's held up perfectly. Good luck. Enjoy it.

I get it. I was a bit worried about possible theft while I was asleep. But once the lights were dimmed, most people went to sleep and because I woke up several times during the night, I noticed no one stirred except when a few people got on or off at their stops. It's just my POV but I perceived it was a very different crowd that rode the train compared to those who fly. Maybe it's the slower pace. People seem more polite and easy going. Price, yes. It varies so much depending on how far ahead you book your trip. I paid $178 for a roundtrip ticket.

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the kind words. I've watched many videos people have put on UA-cam about trips they've taken on trains. I like the different points of view from young and old train riders. I love passenger rail and I hope it continues to improve in the USA and expand! The Texas Eagle is a fascinating train. It's somewhat ordinary until it gets to San Antonio, TX, then it adds food cooked on the train and an observation car. It becomes much longer as it zooms through the southwest. A trip on the TE from St. Louis to LA would be a great adventure. You are welcome to email me. Look me up on LinkedIn.

Everyone living on the Texas Eagle route should visit San Antonio and Chicago at least once. St. Louis, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, and El Paso are other cities to explore. I find small towns worthwhile, Springfield has a few Lincoln historical sites to visit, and there is some good fishing holes to be found at all of the stations in the Ozarks of southern Missouri and northern Arkansas...

Thank you. Shalom!

You bet!

Yes and it's comfortable for sleeping since all Amtrak sleeping accommodations are bunk beds but it is tight when you're both sitting in the roomette.

That is a good question. Yes, you can bring pre-package noodles with you but will they offer you hot water from the cafe car? I honestly don't know. There is nothing specifically about that on the Amtrak web site. On an Amtrak discussion site on the web (not affiliated with Amtrak) the answer seems to be, yes, you can ask an attendant in the Cafe car for a cup of hot water and he/she will give it to you. Sorry, that's the closest to answer I could find. I was surprised to find you can bring your own alcoholic beverages on board but they can only be consumed in a room or roomette.

I know what you mean. I have to admit, I was praying no one would sit next to me so I could stretch out if need be and I did during the night, just to change sleeping positions. In Illinois the train got filled so I had a "guest" next to me. He was a little strange but pleasant enough and I only rode with him for about two hours.

Yes, two nights in coach would be tough. Plus, you get no actual service and cannot eat in the dining car. Remember, meals are included, even with a roomette. Sure, it's a fair amount more but worth it, I believe. Thanks for watching.

You’ll be much happier in the Roomette and you ticket includes all meals.

You are a brave man sleeping in a seat at your age! :-)

@@davepov Must be that on a long train trip one might take a nap almost any time,

@@jamesayers4926 True that.

Overnight train in coach, as a senior is not, I repeat, is not the best ride! No matter what anyone, I repeat, anyone says, is not the best ! Please trust me. Nothing personal I like the train, but not the best.

No argument from me. The older you are (over 70) the tougher it is but I didn't know for sure until I tried it...never again...roomette next time or a full room! Thanks for watching.

@@davepov If you are in no hurry, I buy the 30 day Amtrak Rail Pass for coach seats for around $450 good for ten different trains. I research the schedule and plan to layover for a day or two in any city or town on all of the ten trains, I can sleep in a coach seat for one night, but not for two straight nights without a good night's layover in a bed somewhere. Don't just see America riding Amtrak, but also experience America riding Amtrak. Layovers for Amtrak is like a port of call with a cruise ship. Every city has a tourist trap and museums to visit, and every town has a local fishing hole and a nice B&B near the Amtrak station... Ten long train trips for the price of one or two is a great bargain although you will be riding in coach... Instead of buying expensive Amtrak cafe food, bring some food onboard the train. An apple, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a devil ham or potted meat sandwich, a few boiled eggs, a jar of dry roasted peanuts, anything that will keep for a day or two without requiring refrigeration...

@@ronclark9724 All good ideas! I did bring some food on the train but since I hadn't ridden an Amtrak in decades, I thought I'd try the food. Certainly the rail pass is a good idea. If I could talk my wife into it, I'd do it!

Kenny, I think this cart might work very well for you. You could place pretty good sized, powered speaks on the bottom shelf and other equipment on the top and, with hooks, hang speaker stands on both sides. It folds up so well it should all fit in your vehicle without problems. Good luck. Thanks for watching.

Same, looks awesome

We use am iMac with 64GB of RAM and Adobe Premiere Pro CC for editing with super fast hard drives in an Areca dock with USB-C connection. Editing went fine but rendering when it was done took hours. The camera is a breeze to set up and use...worked great!

Yes, he filmed that on the GoPro Fusion. I came here from his review on the GoPro website about it. Here is the link if you wan to read it. (It is the review from 8-20-18) shop.gopro.com/cameras/fusion/CHDHZ-103.html#

Yes, on an heavy duty Avenger arm both clamped and tied (with rope) to the gondola. I also had a power brick gaff taped on to the arm and connected to the GoPro's USB port, to make sure I had enough battery power to run through the entire race, about one hour.
