I am a wedding videographer / photographer and sometimes we (me and my wife) shoot video as well. Often we have to carry lighting gear and softboxes, slider, etc.

I am looking for a utility cart/wagon... I have come across a cart which I think would be awesome for my purposes: http://www.amazon.com/Folding-Utilit.../dp/B00TM27VUO

Do you use something similar? What would you recommend? What do you use to carry your gear?
 
+1 to rock n rolla cart

3-4 trips to the car is now a single trip and I got the platform attachment so after I unpack it becomes a portable table on set.
 
IF you are buying a Rock N Roller, do yourself a favor and buy a Grip N Gaff bag. Seriously a lifesaver when you need to transport a bunch of stands, some speed rail, and a tripod!

www.gripngaff.com is their site I believe.
 
YES to the bags (get two!) and also be aware that the company seems to have some qa/qc issues with these carts...what i mean is quality is inconsistent. make sure you really test the cart out before your 30-day return period is up to make sure it doesnt have issues with how it rolls, he handles collapsing when you push the cart, or several other issues. i just bought a new r12 model after putting up with a janky one for about 3 years... one smart wheel would wobble crazily sometimes when rolling making for a noisy/bumpy ride, one big wheel didnt touch the ground all the time on flat surfaces, the other big wheel made this rubbery grinding sound and overall the thing rolled pretty roughly (more effort required to push it) than it should have.

next step up would be the magliners which are like 4x the cost, very heavy, dont extend as far (except the senior which is maybe TOO big), dont collapse as small, but are incredibly well made and probably last for life.
 
The video for the BAG: Hahaha!
"We may be artists...but we are first; schleppers of equipment".

Ain't THAT the truth.
 
really need to re-emphasize the quality inconsistency issue. my buddy ALSO had to return one cause the handles would collapse when he pushed the cart.

not saying theyre garbage, but you may have to try out a few before you get a good one.
