All Terrain Arri 235

I spent my COVID-19 time making this custom case for my Arri 235. It's now ready for combat. Shooting tomorrow.

Edit: That was some awful narration. Strike B&H and replace with B+W. Strike ND1 and replace with ND.3. I drove straight through from IL to NM and I'm a little tired still the day after.

WOW what a beautiful case! Worth the time to make for sure.

How did the shoot go?

Not just a great case you made, but what a beauty of a camera. Ahh, sigh, a 235! A dream. That, and an ST and an LT. Yep. Just the thing.

Update: The supposed  all-terrain wagon from B&H Photo is a completely worthless POS. Their definition of all-terrain apparently includes only level concrete and short-pile carpet. On anything other than that, the front wheels often turn sideways and you're stuck dragging it. This is the case because the front wheels have TOTALLY inadequate caster - maybe 5 degrees. They probably need 30-40 degrees of caster to function as desired.

I've been using my kid's Hamax bike trailer which has a pretty good suspension. I wouldn't take it up a mountain trail but it's great for taking the 235 around the countryside. Or pushing it around the city. Lens, mattebox, filters and batteries are in the back compartment.

Hey, that's pretty cool!

Haha, now I know what I'll be doing with our Thule two-seater Chariot (if just my wife allows it!). Should have lots of space for an Eclair ACL ?

Great idea!
