Raptor Rickshaw 1/2 – Updated Option

Raptor Rickshaw is an extremely loved product by filmmakers worldwide because of its sturdy design, easy to equip with cinema rigs. From the first version to Raptor Rickshaw 3, we always try to listen and improve the product better and better to support our customers in the best way. If you own a Raptor Rickshaw V1 or V2, here are some optional accessories to upgrade your rickshaw dolly for improved performance and versatility.

Rickshaw Pull Bar

As a user of Raptor Rickshaw 2, Dan Nightingale (UK) brings a new question to us:

“The rickshaw is great, and I’m a big fan. However very hard to get the pull bar not to move when using the rickshaw with the jockey wheel. I’m 90kg, and my Steadicam is 40kg, so pretty heavy.! The bar moves very easily even when tightening a lot.”

Dan thinks we need to add more pull bars and increase support for the handle when shooting, thereby preventing the handle from flipping from the safety lock. Through using experience, he also suggests to us as well as users of raptor rickshaw 1 or 2 can refer to the following:

“With the extension kit and the additional support, the bar is solid, but obviously, this is not very good when the jockey wheel is attached. I have made some extra tubes and solved the problem, which is simply a request to include more clamps x4 and x2 tubes (21cm) in any future kits for future users of the rickshaw. It’s a great rickshaw usersibility of the pull bar is the one bad area and the one weakness of the rickshaw system.”
