Lava cart looked dope but you’re one of the few people who have a good video on it. Thanks man! Definitely getting one.

[@jaypelzer]

Just ordered the lava cart today. Will definitely be doing your c-stand hook hack!

[@stevenmichael8396]

I hope it works out as well for you as it does for me. Such a life saver on set

[@lavacart]

Dope! Thanks for sharing your experience and tips. Happy creating!

[@chrisa8682]

So how much does everything add up to? seems around 800-900 with accessories. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger because I already have a r12 stealth or picking up on of Pro aims Entry level carts for 900-1100

[@stevenmichael8396]

So if you gave the wheels already you are in great shape. The shelves were around 500 and I spent about 130 in accessories. So yes the total came a little over 800

[@mellangestudio]

Bravo, appreciate the hacks you shared here. Very informative.

[@Matt.Gillard]

Sick, thanks for sharing

[@abbeybelmont5720]

Really great video.
I totally copied your bike hooks for 2 carts.
If you slightly drill out a mounting hole in the bike hook to take a 5/16-18 screw (just like the official RR shelf screws), I used molded plastic handled parts and the fit is super super secure and you don’t have to fiddle with the little hardware.
At Lowes: Hillman fluted knob w/male stud 5/16-18 x 1-3/4 (round) and Hillman clamping knob w/ female insert 5/16-18 (triangular).
It looks totally pro too.
Thanks for the great ideas-!

[@stevenmichael8396]

Thanks for the tip!! I’m glad it worked out for u! I will look into the plastic handle parts as well.

[@OuterEastLLC]

Just found your channel. Great info. Thanks for sharing.

[@MattMatheson]

Subbed! Great review ordering one of these today! Hope you are getting a kick back!

[@ramjpg]

Love the video great ideas definitely going to implement some of them into my build, I'm planning on building a cart from scratch from stuff from the hardware store might try to make a video on it as well

[@Iamdrewharmony]

I just purchased an innovative cart….I’m heated…sigh

[@ideaplusagency]

Would be great to have a lot more b-roll of the cart

[@Ranger7Studios]

Great video! And Great name as well! ;)

[@saeedrouhani9806]

Lot of value here!!!

[@tekkythai]

film making for dumbasses!! ROFL great video man, you should reach out to Lava cart for an affiliate deal. Definitely looking into it.

[@stevenmichael8396]

Thank you! I have been in touch with them. Hopefully something in the future can happen.

[@Scott_R_LePage]

Great video thanks tor the hacks and tips!

[@akasasinator]

this was a very specific video that i needed to see

[@abrandnewtom7]

thanks for the video, dude!

[@FlyingJackalope]

Love the title dude.

[@NYCMDP]

I dig the vertical stand to mount your tripod head!

[@jakevermillion1282]

How did you attach your camera? We're looking to build a budget production cart that we can mount two 27-32" monitors and a BMPCC4k (possibly w/ a Glide Gear teleprompter) to the top shelf, but the concern I keep having is that most guys building DIY carts on UA-cam have their cameras clamped to one of the four corner rods, but we really need ours to be center-set...

[@stevenmichael8396]

What's your email I can send you a quick clip of how I have my camera mounted
on the cart. But I clamped a rod from a cheaper cstand to the cart and at the top of the rod I clamped a tripod head to sit the camera on top of that.

[@michaelbowyer5222]

This is a great review. In-depth, comprehensive, and honest. One question, has anyone try the Lava products with the Gator utility cart? It’s a little more expensive than the Rock and Roller but seems sturdier.

[@stevenmichael8396]

I personally have not tried the Gator carts but they do have two that is compatible on their website.

[@A1Bokeh]

the bike hooks are genius lol

[@reelpassionmedia]

This video is gold

[@daylight5500]

Great!

[@RobertoRaymon]

Need more b-roll of the cart, or footage of the cart and less footage of just you talking

[@stevenmichael8396]

Everyone else enjoyed how bout you make one. Thanks for the view
