I use a "granny" shopping trolley for my 5x4 outfit. Carrying the camera, an
MPP MKVI, plus filmholders etc. in a rucksack isn't too bad, but I certainly
find the trolley necessary for my sturdy tripod, a Benbo MK 1.  It's got
fair sized wheels, no springing whatsoever, and is fairly easy to lift in
and out of my car's boot (trunk).
