The Ultimate DIY SOUND CART under $500 | Filmmaking on a Budget

What DIY project do you want to see next?!

awesome video! Imo production carts are overpriced af ... i film sometimes on expos and as long at it is not marketed for filmmakers, super sturdy carts are way cheaper when they are marketed for workshops etc

I lucked up and got this cart on Amazon for about $50 a couple of years ago (before it was popular). Wish I had purchased 5!!

This is amazing! Looking for someone to do this for me for a fee.

Heck yeah brooo

Do I need a dedicated audio cart? No. Do I want one now? Yes!

You sound like you don't want to go to Home Depot... You do know that if you play it right, you can hang out there all day with no one the wiser, right? 😉😉

Also, that looks like just a good general production cart!

duuuuuuude thanks for this i was debating on hacking one of these carts for production. about to do a pelican case like yours right now

when are the new PR2s coming out, i cant wait anymore, might have to go get some tascams

Bravoo 👏👏👏👏
Too bad, here in Brazil I can't find this cart😔

Do you guys have an update on when the Theos Digital Wireless will be available for preorder and shipping?

Not a sound guy but I love me a good DIY project, great job! :)

How can I use the vo-7u podcast mic with a Zoom H5N or a Mix Pre 3

Awesome thumbnail, your head is not that big!

I would buy the cart but won't after my recent experience with Service Repair Manager Christine Huang at Deity. Because of her I'm thinking of throwing all my Deity equipment off a cliff. I asked if she could tell me how to connect my w.lav mic to an XLR port on a sound mixing board. Her reply, "Do you have any pictures of the soundboard you mentioned? We don't know what it looks like. 😂 Is it the Piano soundboard?" shows she had no clue. I don't believe it's best practice to laugh at your customers. Multiple insulting emails later she had no answer. I have to say that Rode was very helpful.

love to see it! thank for thinking about low budgeting. I wonder if sound speeds will react to this

Tip of the day: To prevent your drill bit from sliding around when starting your hole use a small nail, awl, or center-punch to made a small indentation. If you don't have those, at least pre-drill using a thinner bit.

Andrew, you're brilliant! What a great idea for a show and your description and choices are spot-on!

hola, buena evolución... saludos desde chile... (tengo un sistem similar en mi carro)

This video is amazing! I’m just thrown off by the 3D parts. Can I buy them somewhere?

I had a much harder time putting on the casters in vlog 071 on my channel but eventually I found a solution. Happy to say the cart has been great a few months later on my productions.

This is a great looking cart and a super helpful video! Thanks for putting this together

Casters = Harbor Freight. Much cheaper there that at the Depot. ;)

This is so awesome! Thank you for making this!

This is great Andrew!

Amazing video. You are the DIY cart OG!

This is an ideal build for my director/DP needs. Well done 🤟🏾

Invest in a porta-band. Would have literally cut those rods in 10 seconds.

.... Can't find the Facebook "The Olympia cart for sound professionals" group site any where?

Nice

😂😂😂

Great thumbnail 😂

I used the original cart you built! Now I’m setting up the milwaukee pack out system as a sound cart.

I've been using the XL as a generic production cart for a while now. I took the stock wheels on a gravel driveway and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I really appreciate seeing how to mod the wheels, I was trying to figure out how to swap them.

I also discovered that the Pelican Vault V550 case fits perfectly on the cart.

I love these builds, they always end too soon though. More please! 🙌
