SmallRig 5991 36" Video Production Camera Cart (Lite)

SmallRig 5991 36" Video Production Camera Cart (Lite) – Foldable to 17.2cm for easy transport

The SmallRig 5991 36" Video Production Camera Cart (Lite) is a professional mobile workstation built for filmmakers and content creators who need fast relocation, quick deployment, and reliable on-set performance. It uses aerospace-grade aluminum and industrial-grade materials to offer durability and wear resistance.

Fast setup and compact transport

The cart assembles or collapses by a single crew member in about 3 minutes. Tool-free assembly makes it practical for fast turnarounds. When folded, the cart compacts to a 17.2cm height for easy transport and storage, which helps on-location teams move between urban studios and remote shoots.

Robust load and stable movement

The dual-tier platform gives you a dedicated top deck for monitors, laptops, wireless transmitters and power systems, while the bottom deck takes bulk equipment. The cart provides exceptional stability to safely carry devices during movement. It supports a total load capacity of 250kg, so it can handle on-set monitoring, equipment transport, and editing control setups.

Modular expansion and mounting options

The design includes a modular expansion system with multiple cheese plates and mounting options. These include 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes, 3/8"-16 ARRI locating holes, and four 5/8" baby pin mounts. As a result, you can integrate monitor arms, audio mounts, sunshade brackets, and other accessories to create director monitoring, DIT, or editing workstations.
