Comments about Travel Smart by Conair Travel Smart LadderKart Combination Stepladder & Hand Cart:
I used this on a wedding job to haul my bag and at the same time get height for some group photos. It works well as a ladder but if you use the cart you will need to use a bungee cord or something for going more than a few feet or rough terrain since platform isn't as large as I thought. Not really a problem for me though. One of the main issues I found with the cart portion of this product is that it doesn't 'click' or remain rigid when you have the cart flap down- so if your load is small and heavy (like mine was - camera bag about 35#), it won't stand erect by itself. You either have to pop open the ladder or hold it, which isn't the best.

There are a few things that would make this better. A means to lock the base so the cart would stand up on its own, would be nice. Also, a few hooks for bungee cords would be welcome. Nevertheless, given the price, it is hard to criticize them. Great ladder and kart combo.

If you travel with your photography equipment anywhere, and like to have the ability to get at a higher viewpoint, this is a must. Sturdy and functional ... I love it!

Sturdy, comfortable ergonomics, and the construction quality seems good. Great for one-man-band load-ins, especially when the nearest parking spot is a few blocks from location. Does double-duty by getting you up to focus lights and grab high-angle shots. Great size for me, since I drive a sedan, not a grip truck.
I dislike how it doesn't stand up well by itself in handcart mode, since the loading platform is not flush with floor. This can be frustrating if there's nowhere to lean it immediately prior to loading. Also, I'd love to have some built-in eye loops for bungee cords.

This ladder is affordable, well built and solid. It can carry gear around and it is perfect for group photo shot avoiding most obvious pitfall of shooting a large group at the same level. It really is an outstanding product.

This is a a very practical item. We did some research and found there are not many options for this type of product. this is exactly what we were looking for. My daughter is a photographer and she is only 5'1." She needed it to pull around school to take photos. With a few bungy cords, she is able to use it for some of her equipment, as well.

I'm 5'5", so I always need to stand on something to get the shot. I've taken this on several location shoots. Super easy to use. Everyone always wants to know where I found a step ladder on wheels!!!

Handy as dolly and ladder. Folds, Could be a little more useful if transformed into a cart also. Could have better locking system. But good for what it's current design is. Could also include bungi cord.

I use this while photographing church directories and family portrat fundraisers all on location. The hand cart is great for movng equipt. from my vehicle to the shoot area. The ladder is quick, easy and lightweight for getting angles I had to use apple crates for before, nice, quick and easy. I wish the handcart base was a little larger but this does what it's supposed to and well.

A terrific tool for event (wedding), portrait and general photography. Helps one to get into a better position for a fresh and possibly unique point of view. Works pretty well for hauling you gear, too.

Works well as both ladder and cart, it's nice to have both on location without having to have two separate items. I'm still looking for the optimum bungee cord(s) to fasten long items (background paper, stand) to the cart.

No more multiple trips from car to location dragging gear. I just bungee a light kit bag on and I'm ready to roll. The ladder is sturdy and provides optional shooting angels. The wheels roll easily over any surface even on the beach! Great way to move gear in less time and without physical strain.
