Premium Members Markus Kuballa Posted March 12, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 As it turns out, the cases completely build (all 4 with all AKS), were exactly half an inch to long to fit into a standard european elevator, the fact is, the drawings where correct, but by trying to maintain the inside dimensions rather then the outside dimension the builder grew the cart by 2 inch. Normally it wouldn't be a problem (in the states) but here it is. Since I'm located in Germany that could become an issue at some point. I think I will wait on what you come up with next and then purchase something that will fulfill a European operators needs. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted March 12, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Since you would have half of the cart, it's up to you to create the rest of it to be in the confines of the size that you would need. Just saying... I am replacing the two that are for sale with a single one, that's all. I am still convinced that the idea is sound, just the execution was not up to (my) parr. It's now down to refining and adding parts that were not available when I was designing it and to suite me... which might not work or suite you. Also as I learned, unless you have your own van, you have no space on the Camera "Truck" (more like mini truck or van) and the whole cart culture that I learned about in LA is wasted on central european productions... they like to haul everything on there shoulders... go figure! I gave up to build for or even accommodating other people... I did a small run with the version 9 cart to make it cheaper and speed up the production. It ended up being 5 carts and at the end I had compromised so much for my use to make it work with different rigs and for different operators that my final version was... a compromise. 4 guys were happy as a clam... and I am on version 11... enough said. I am making one that works for me... what you do later down the road it's up to you. I am keeping all the original plans... what the manufacturer does with the idea (as shown in the past, usually nothing or so far removed from the original idea that nobody is buying it) is up to him. Sincerely, Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
