Inovativ carts have been a consistent part of my workflow since we bought our first Scout in 2016. There are some pieces of equipment that become SO essential so quickly that if it were lost or stolen you’d go out and replace it immediately no matter the cost. Well, in December 2016, my Jeep was broken into and my beloved Scout was stolen, along with $14k worth of additional equipment. The Scout was the first thing I replaced!
After Scout #2, we got into the Voyager series, which was a big step forward from the original Scout. I have two Voyager carts that I use all the time. The 30” and the 36” models. They break down incredibly well, they travel well, they’re durable, reliable and make our days on set more efficient. So why am I talking about our Scout and Voyager carts in a promo for Apollo? Well, because I didn’t know much about Apollo until this year. I knew the cart existed but I didn’t know what set it apart from the other carts in the catalog. Now that I do, I’m here to tell you why this cart is the best cart that Inovativ makes. Period. In just a minute. But first I want to answer the question “Why Inovativ?”
All Inovativ carts are marvels of design. As a DP/gaffer myself, I appreciate good design! I don’t want function only. I want some form, dammit! I want some style on set. Some swag. In CKL Fb the other day, someone was asking about an off-brand cart, hoping to get community approval so they could save some money. The consensus was NO. Don’t waste your money, trying to save your money, right? In other words, take more time to save up for the right purchase, rather than buying the wrong thing faster, only to end up replacing it with the right thing later. Other terms for this mentality are “Buy Once, Cry Once” or “You Get What You Pay For.” Inovativ carts are legacy items. They’re so rugged and durable that you can pass this down to your grandchildren. You aren’t going to pass down your Chinese Ripoff production cart down to your children or grandchildren!
That said, as rugged and beautiful as Scout and Voyager are, Apollo takes it to a whole new level. I thought I knew what loving a cart felt like with Scout and then Voyager. But with Apollo, this relationship has gone to a whole next level. It’s a work of art. Yes, there are some sacrifices when it comes to how quickly you can break it down. Yes, it’s a bit heavier than the Voyager. But it more than makes up for both of those things with pure heavy duty build quality and functionality. It’s taller than Voyager, which means you’ve got a higher workstation, it’s wider and you can feel it when you’re building a camera or creating a DIT or battery charging station. The frame doesn’t fold down the way that Voyager does, giving you more room inside the storage area and the hollow piers allow you to mount your accessories INSIDE the frame. No more hanging your baby pin riser off the side of your Voyager. The baby pin mount or baby pin riser mounts directly into the frame! This may sound like a small thing but it saves a lot of space and provides a cleaner overall cart build.
Don’t just take my word for it though. Here’s a conversation we had with Pat, founder and CEO of Inovativ, DP Julien Jarry and 1st AC Meghan Commons about their experience with Inovativ Apollo.
And here’s a quick comparison vid between my Inovativ Voyager and our Apollo 40. COMING SOON.
Apollo is now our favorite cart workstation. It’s a BEAST! And it rolls and handles like a dream. Inovativ does such a great job with the details and the wheels are the absolute best wheels on ANY rolling cart on the market. I have never used a cart that rolled like an Inovativ. Once you roll one, you won’t stop thinking about it until you buy your own. And that’s where I come in. Now through the end of December, we’re offering 25% off on Inovativ Apollo 40 or 52 cart workstations. That’s a huge savings on the single best cart workstation solution on the market. Not only that, you get a FREE Robocup with every purchase as a holiday gift. Friends don’t let friends put their drinks on the cart worksurface! Add that Robocup so that you can gently guide your client, the Director or the DP to keep their drinks away from the electronics.
