Eckla Multi Rolly Gear Carts
There are two different styles of Gear Carts by Eckla that are available at Outdoor Photo Gear. I added the Multi-holding bar shown near the bottom of the page to my cart. The best thing is that the carts are both light weight and fold easily to fit in the car. These are durable multi-function carts with all-terrain tires. The tires are very versatile and can go anywhere you need them to go; whether it’s over rough terrain or sandy beaches let these carts carry your gear instead of humping it on your shoulders or back! The no slip grips on the handles are fantastic and as soon as I saw them I knew I would like them. The handle is tall enough so that when you are rolling it you don’t hit the back of your ankles with the cart – which was one of the problems I was having with my homemade cart.
The model shown above comes fully loaded with gear pouches, hooks, no slip grip handles and even a fold-down shooting seat.

Below is the Beach Rolly Gear Cart which has a simpler design and is the one I decided to go with. I like the side covers. There is also the Eckla Fold Out Cargo Bar which can be added to the cart. This model also comes with the no-slip grips and the all-terrain tires that I like so much.

Multi-holding bar that can be added to either cart
Here is an image of my gear cart shown with my two tripods, my 500mm lens, 1 camera body (I was shooting this image w/ the other
). My 100mm Macro lens and assorted gear. I still have room for my cooler and some additional lenses. The black plastic cart is from Staples and cost $6.99. I use the straps that come with the optional Multi-holding bar (shown above) to secure my tripods. I place my other gear including my 500mm lens in the cart. The black netting is elastic and secures easily to the cart with the hooks that come with it. I can also pull the netting up over my gear if I overload the cart.

I’m using a Tamrac 5788 backpack but when I get more gear (eventually) this looks like a very nice system. Besides, wheels always beat heels.
Jimi, I use a backpack when I am hiking, but for visiting parks or beaches with lots of gear the rolly cart really can’t be beat. It carries everything you need.

Thanks for the review Denise – Looks like a nice system. I agree, I think I would do with the “Beach Buggy” too. Smart to add the crate!! Scott
Scott, I realized that I didn’t need the seat and I wanted a simple design. I will see you on the 8th for our Skyline Workshop

Denise, I ordered the beach cart recently and it is really well-made and easy to put together. I saved 10% by using your code and actually got the net for free also. Thanks for the review and the discount
Cheryl, I love mine. When I go to the park for my 3 mile walk with all my gear it is so relaxing to just set the cart down start photographing, throw it all back in then move down the path a little and start all over again. Glad that I was able to save you some $$ and I love that net, I pull mine over top of all my gear especially when I have collected extra things along the way and have no extra room
