Cart/wagon to carry your gear?Any recommendation?

This is an interesting thread - subscribed. I like to shoot at a park and the lake is a good couple hundred yards from the parking lot. Not far by any means, but when you want to bring lighting gear, it's usually 2 trips. Plus, I drive a compact car...so it needs to fold up.

That rolling gun cart is nice...but at $300...yikes.

I'm considering some of the following:

Folding Utility Sports Wagon (already posted): http://www.amazon.com …Multicolors/dp/​B00TM27VUO
Super Cheap Cargo Crate: http://www.amazon.com …le-Carrier/dp/B000UZ0P7I/
Higher Wall Cargo Crate: http://www.amazon.com …ll-Rolling/dp/B003ES5TM4/
Folding Shopping Cart: http://www.amazon.com …g-Capacity/dp/B009O07QLI​/

If I'm missing anything, let me know. Right now, I'm leaning towards #3 - the high wall cargo crate. Should be good for light stands and 4/5 stars with 450+ reviews.

Edit: this thing looks really cool too...not great for light stands, but if you have tubs/bags: http://www.amazon.com …odel-Micro/dp/B003AYLP9S/

Probably won't help the OP, maybe others... but there is a place in s.Carolina, about 2 miles from parking, we like to shoot.
We use bicyles to get there and usually carry quite a bit of kit:

It turns into a quick and easy wheelbarrow too.
The bag is claimed to be waterproof.
Stands on its own once decoupled which is a plus.

I used a rollaboard suitcase once at the zoo to schlep all my gear. Worked great. But people kept looking at me and some were snickering. I hope they were laughing with me and not at me.

Might have found the coolest option, but pricey. GripNGaff add-on for the multi-cart: http://www.amazon.com …12RT-R16RT/dp/B00LKQHAVA/
The cheapest cart it can connect to is the R8RT which is $160. So $260 total.

In researching this, I never realized how many fluffy pet carriers/strollers/car​riages there were.

This would be a great option......if it were not RIDICULOUSLY over priced!!!!

Cool... now if only I could get that to fold up and get it into my trunk... I no longer have a pickup.

Strap it to the roof. That's what the roof is for.

Here is a foldable 2-wheel bicycle cart that carries 90 lbs instead of the 65 lbs for the cart Medicine Man lists.

I have not used this cart but it was recommended by a few folks so I saved it in my Amazon wish list.

A rolling cart/wagon would be perfect for air shows. Hold my big lenses, cameras, and accessories. A small cooler and folding chair, too.

But I go to air shows alone. No one to watch the cart while I use the porta-potty.

Tether. Have a tether to the cart. The very least, you will know if it's being carted off whilst you're doing your business.

If you're carrying lighting gear in cases, I *highly* recommend the Rock'n'Roller carts.

I have one of the large ones, have used it for years, it will carry 500 lbs. It folds, not super small...

It's got wheels, a couple handles at a convenient height, is made of steel, and really carries the weight. Depending on the load I sometimes use bungies or ratchet cargo straps to secure everything together.

Because of how much you can put on it, it's really not suitable for steps. But these days every venue I visit has wheelchair access.

There are small and large versions. The large telescopes down to a small size, but weighs more.

Wheels. The American Dream.

If you cant use a bike to pull your gear like medicine man showed, look for baby jogging strollers, it's all about the wheels, to get you over difficult terrain

Here's one pretty economical

and another

Pick the size you need. They are pretty durable and multifunction.
