Gents--

 

First of all, my bracket does not use a pin to mount a docking bracket to.

 

My bracket wraps around the tubing and has a tubing brace that goes two places.

 

First, we support the MagDock vertically and then we span the gap between the vertical tubes of the handlebar. On the whole, VERY rigid.

 

Yes, you do need to keep some cases of stuff on the cart to prevent a rollover, but then again, when do we roll about without at least some stuff with us? I carry two 1600 Pelicans with all the video and follow focus bits, and a Porta-Brace PS-2 production case with tools, spares, etc.

 

As to the brakes, well they leave a lot to be desired so I went low tech on this one and just have a set of wooden chocks just like the ramp crews use on aircraft wheels. These items are painted yellow and have a rope lanyard to keep them around and close at hand. Simple and most folks know how to use them.

 

Since I am still building my website, can anyone tell me how to include images in the post?

 

Otherwise I will have to send them to the interested parties.

 

Best,

 

Brant
