Hi Shane,

Many thanks for your info!

I was able to change it to 24p, not 23.98p in compressor. I don’t see an option for the 23.98.
And FCP would not allow me to multi-clip a 24p and 23.98p in the same folder.

So… I conformed the 24p clip in Cinema Tools to 23.98.
Will that work?
I’m assuming it will go slightly out of sync at some point, but might work okay for shorter clips?

Let me know what you think.

Thanks, Dan

Do you know how I use compressor?
I didn’t see anything for changing frame rates in compressor, just changing to various codecs.

It’s a disease I have, and thanks for calling me on it.
Made my purchase. Done.

Hmmm…Probably won’t be taking out back seat. Just combination of trunk and stuff on top of backseat. Most of my stuff makes it in the backseat. Magliner Jr in the trunk?

Okay, now I’m all confused again.
I was downtown and happened to see some dollies that looked much like magliners (but cheaper knock-offs). The one that looked roughly the same size as the “Jr” model was kind of attractive. I picked it up–heavy, but doable, as far as throwing it in the back of the car or trunk. Size-wise, it looked like it would fit in either the trunk or back seat as well, along with the equipment.

And the heavy more industrial build was very attractive, imagining a smooth, stable ride to transport all my gear, as compared to what I’m assuming the multicart-type options are more loose and flimsy when piled with heavy stuff.

So it made me think maybe I could work with the magliner Jr size and get it in the trunk/backseat.
Am I crazy?

Thanks again for your help. I think I’m going with the R12 Multicart.

Really appreciate the specific info, Bob.

My *hope* is to be able to get everything in one load from car to location. figure I’m filling up a back seat with lights, cam, tripod, etc.

So with that in mind, do you think I’d be better off getting the larger one (R12):

Or what they’re now calling the R8LP, which I think is the current version of your RockNRoller?

Thanks again,

Thanks everyone for all your replies. Seems the multicarts come in various sizes and weight capacities. Maybe that’s the cause for price differential? B&H customer reviews are mixed, some loving, and a few claiming shoddy build quality, wobbly, loose handles, etc. I’ll check out some of the other options you all mentioned.

I just want to agree about the Rifa. I have the Rifa and an Arri Fresnel kit. Often I feel like I could get away with just the Rifa, a bounce card, and one little Fresnel for most interviews. Like Mark said, using the Rifa, it’s hard to mess up. Nice big soft light source. Light and easy to carry. Quick to setup.
