Proaim Atlas V2 Video Production Cart (48")
Description
Built with long working days in mind, the 48" Atlas V2 Video Production Cart from Proaim has a robust aluminum design made even more rigid by crossbars. The cart is modular and lets you integrate various add-ons to support additional gear such as a monitor, gimbal, laptop plate, and tripod.
The Atlas V2 has a collapsible design, and this aspect was incorporated without sacrifice to overall durability. The cart folds flat to a 7" thick form to allow you to easily load it into a trunk or similar space for transport. When folded flat this way, it can be rolled along on small built-in wheels, pulled by an integrated handle. The cart locks when it folds, so there's no worry of it coming apart when being rolled along. Folding, unfolding, and most other assembly/disassembly is done tool-free in as little as a few minutes.
The cart supports up to 1100 lb and moves smoothly and quietly on its 10" pneumatic wheels. The wheels have fully sealed bearings to ensure smooth and silent operation even with heavy loads. Two of the wheels rotate 360° and have foot brakes, which are designed to maintain their stopping capability even if the tires lose some of their thickness over time. The wheels attach to the cart via a dovetail mechanism that allows quicker attachment and removal.
The length of the top and bottom shelves is 48". One on side of the top shelf, the lip can be folded down so that you can more easily use the surface as a workspace for your laptop and other gear. The lip can be put back up to ensure that nothing rolls off the surface.
Two grip handles are included that feature hinge locks. Thanks to these hinge locks, the handles can be attached to the vertical posts of the cart without having to remove the top surface or anything else to make room for them. These handles allow you to maneuver the cart as well as lift it over steps and curbs. There are also grip cutouts on the lips of the top and bottom shelves. These provide an additional way of lifting the cart, such as over a curb.
Besides supporting add-ons, the Atlas V2 also offers threaded holes at multiple locations for attaching accessories. These consist of 1/4"-20, 3/8"-16, and ARRI-standard anti-twist 3/8"-16 threads.
