Zipr head with this Frankencart!
Posted on Jan 27, 2026 by Pro Moviemaker
Sometimes the best product is something you never knew you needed until you see it. That might be the case for the Zipr e-powered kit cart, a foldable mobility system built to give crew a smoother ride
Designed for camera teams, lighting departments and every behind-the-scenes hero who moves loads of gear on long shoots, the Zipr kit cart offers a faster way to transport equipment and even personnel.
Built to work on everything from studio floors to muddy fields, the Zipr carries a total payload of up to 300kg/661lb with a 183-litre cargo volume. Its intuitive ‘push, pull or ride’ design automatically changes modes the moment the control stem is repositioned, while optional dual seating opens the door for crew transport or track-free dolly shots.
There’s a choice of 2WD long-range or 4WD off-road configurations, with puncture-proof tyres, regenerative braking, an IPX5 weather rating and a balanced low-deck chassis for stability under heavy loads. When the day wraps, the entire unit folds to half its size.
By putting on a global filmmaker contest, the product’s manufacturer Zilr is now inviting creators to turn its AI-generated storyboard into the real launch film, shot by real crews in real environments. Winners receive a fully equipped Zipr kit to create their vision and get to keep the gear afterwards.
With pre-orders open and deliveries beginning January 2026, the Zipr costs from $1499 with UK prices yet to be set.
