Gear Carriers Of course, Magline’s products do for the entertainment industry what they do for the material handling industry. That is, they produce the highest quality hand trucks that industry professionals use to transport the equipment they need to do their jobs. Except in this case, it’s not stacks of rebar, bags of concrete, and bails of steel cable; it’s cameras, canisters of film, and bails of electronic cables. Not to mention mixing boards, audio equipment, batteries, lenses, and everything else necessary for telling visual stories. Drone Transporters and Launch Pads

2. Not so long ago, if someone making a movie wanted a scene shot from above, they needed enough money to hire a crane, a plane, or a helicopter. Fortunately, that’s no longer the case. Today, for a fraction of the spend a crane or piloted aircraft would cost, filmmakers can launch camera-carrying drones to capture the action from above. And a Magliner hand cart provides not only the perfect means of transporting these drones but can also help serve as a makeshift mobile launch pad as well (or transport the materials to create one). Makeshift Filming Dolly When a director or cinematographer wants the camera to follow, or “track,” the action, they employ a “tracking shot.” A tracking shot involves the camera being mounted on a dolly that’s placed on tracks (akin to railroad tracks) and pushed along those tracks, keeping pace with the characters or event being filmed. Due to the use of a dolly in tracking shots, they’re also known as “dolly shots.” Whether you need a Magliner heavy duty hand truck or a dependable dolly, find out more about Magline’s safe and dependable equipment at https://www.magliner.com/
