It’s nice to be able to sit down in order to concentrate on mixing. And on drama sets you’re often in a different room so need to be able to see what’s going on through a monitor in order to be able to queue fades and be able to put a script up and follow it.
As a bit of an experiment I’ve put together a ‘mini trolley’ . You can spend *thousands* on putting together a decent one, but I’ve mainly thought of getting something I can pop my bag on and look at a monitor (or even two). It’s a Rocknroller RMH with 2 laptop shelf attachments. It’s designed as a sack truck really.
This is sort of a proof of concept, I’m wondering about maybe cutting back the top shelf so it doesn’t go as far forward (they’re made of wood). In this setup it won’t actually stand up with the bottom lip extended (as a sack truck) and leans forward. With the lip in it actually leans back a little but would fall over if something fell into it. I’ll also be coming back to those antennas when the cables to test them have arrived…

Now, if I could get some drawers in that petrol bag…
