Tide Pods In A Front Load Washer

We needed two camera platforms, so I got on B&H looking for Spider Pods (which I used at my previous two jobs), but they don't carry them. I was highly skeptical when I came across this Axler system, but we were desperate and bought two of these 4'x4' risers. They are SOLID AS A ROCK! I thought they were going to be flimsy and wobbly, but they didn't budge at all. I even had to service the two cameras during our live production. Me and the camera operator on these platforms and there was zero wobble. These assemble and disassemble rather quickly. They are heavy, so save your back and use a long flatbed cart for transport during load-in and load out. As mentioned by others, the cases for these risers are the Achilles Heel. Handle stitches ripped when lifting the bag, and got several small tears in the fabric during the very first use. Just be delicate with the bags during transport and storage and you'll be fine. Incredible performance! I'm so glad we gave them a try.

The first one was swept away by the ocean tide. This is an exact replacement.

Someone please tell me any other film washer better than this.

It’s everything they say they are I am enjoying mine way better than my I pods

I used to protect my Wisycom plug on, fits tide but do the work

Load everything up and move it from one location to the next. All my equipment fits perfectly. Collapses down to fit in the front seat area of my car, with the wheels on the floor. Don't need a truck just yet.

I haven't actually used this yet, but I did load it, weigh it, and pretend to put it in an overhead for practice. Seems perfect for my gear. I travel with a DLSR, mirrorless and 4 lenses. There is room for that and a change of clothes if a bag gets delayed. The front compartment easily holds my 15 laptop. The laptop compartment sort of locks by attaching the loop on the zipper to the integrated lock for the case (watch the video). The case rolls easily. I agree with the reviewer who said it would be nice if the bottom of the case was flat, but with my gear that is not a problem. The recommended accessory GRID-IT organizer of 10X12 does not fit the interior front pocket and looks like it has been removed as a suggestion. All-in-all this looks like it will be a great bag. It will be my carry-on but seems sturdy enough to gate check on smaller planes.

I couldn't be happier. This cart rolls over anything and carries all my gear. The only slight problem is if you load the rear with more weight than the front, the front wheel wiggle and increase resistance to push. Design questions, changes... why not make the deck a bit wider. It would allow for more gear between the hands (light stands, tripod, etc), and since there are wheels blocking the bottom rail, put something to hook onto for bungee cords.

This is a great day/travel bag for taking your camera and a spare lens. To me, it's one step up in complexity/organization from a peak design neckstrap, which I also have and use, for days when you want to grab the camera, but also second lens and extra battery. The bag wears comfortably, wraps around your back when not in use, swings around to the front, and you can wear it as a fanny pack (though I haven't). There are nice little nooks and crannies for extra batteries, cords, etc. The flexibility and capacity of the bag is a double-edged sword. Yes, you CAN load it up, a lot, and if you are flying somewhere and need the capacity, it's there. You could do an 80D with a 18-135, two pancakes on one side and an 85mm on the other, and have room to spare for more. But, if you really load this up to maximum capacity, it starts becoming like a traditional heavy camera bag, a psychological and physical burden that detracts from actually leaving the house, being mobile and taking out your camera quickly and actually using it. Just my thought process. One less that great thing... the front pocket is a little hard to access, for me, especially if the bag is full. It could have been made just a tad more roomy, maybe with some more give on the sides. As is, the cloth is very tight and you kinda have to pull it apart and plunge your hand across a sharp-ish zipper to get in there. Know what I mean? Maybe the next generation addresses that.

A tide bit confusing to set up at first especially if you never had one before. Other then that this c stand is well worth every penny !
