Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted February 17, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I may be wrong but the Backstage cart designed for steadicam is this one http://www.filmtools.com/backstage-collapsable-steadicam-cart-tr-05.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members William Demeritt Posted February 17, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I've got the TR-04 Jr, and I like it a lot. Just big enough for all my gear, but small enough to fit in tight hallways or elevators without a problem. I bought mine with 8" wheels instead of 10" wheels, and it's still a tad bit top heavy. Otherwise, I'm very happy with mine. I've got the vest hanger and baby pin spanner bar, and it works great with a loaded rig. Also, collapses down nicely and fits in my VW Jetta Sportwagen. I'll post some photos in a bit when I'm back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Stone Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Here is a link to the page showing Andrew Ansnick's modified Backstage Steadi Cart. The essential poriton of the cart's design is similar to the TR-05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Brian Freesh Posted February 18, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 That is a TR-05, just with added power outlets. Jens, when did they stop making it? The catalog online is dated 2013 but still has the TR-05 in it. I love mine, but maybe they just weren't selling enough to keep it in production.

Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted February 18, 2014 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 they told me it was to costly to make them, I believe Filmtools still has them in stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks tippy http://www.filmtools.com/backstage-aluminum-camera-case-cart-junior-tr04jr.html What do you guys think of the TR-08? http://www.filmtools.com/flcacatr.html I'm looking into building one...
