Posted on August 14, 2015 by alanglover

Steadicam operator Simon Wood had the step on/off rickshaw on the cobbles of Coronation Street this week on the promo shoot for the upcoming Corry live episode in September. Shooting with the Arri 435 and his Nexus rig, he had to track backwards down a cobbled alleyway ahead of running actors. He configured the rickshaw for two wheel mode, with balloon tyres and seat to smooth out the cobbles.

Slim Jim Rickshaw

"Slim Jim" Rickshaw

Recently completed a modified version of the standard rickshaw for the guys at Wildcat Grips.
They wanted to use it for interior work involving narrow doorways and corridors.
I tweaked the existing design and came up with the “Slim Jim” which is only 2’3″ wide.
It will also take a wider axle for added stability outdoors and can easily be fitted with Balloon Wheels.
