How would a 2 wheel shopping cart, with big wheels, go?

Some of them fold up flat.
Or something like this?

I was thinking of maybe a golf caddy that holds the golf bag,it has wheels,I may look into that!

Have you considered buying a smaller, lighter camera with excellent in-body image stabilization?

I have intermittent hand tremors, and recently got rid of my DSLR & telephoto, switching to a lumix FZ-1000 which has a 25 - 400 zoom.

I've ditched the tripod for a lt-weight monopod and added a ball head quick release ($25-30 on amazon) and steady it in my camera bag. this setup weighs < 3 lb; i get images that are sharp enough at 100% to be accepted at major microstock agencies - i can even bracket for HDR handheld

Ideally it would be suggested that you carry a monopod for this instances. But along with this, make sure you use plastic multi range lenses to lighten the load. I'll be encountering many of these same issues you're facing. However, I'll not be using smaller plastic lenses and may not even use a tri/mono pod. Often this means resorting to using nature to steady the camera. rest the camera on fences, side of poles etc.

As for the golf caddy, this is very unbalanced means for transporting your gear. Even some of the other wagon types aren't very practical. One may have to resort to a body harness setup.

I think a Shopping Trolley might be ideal for your needs (and handy for, well, shopping, the rest of the time.)
If you want to push rather than pull it, you'd want a four-wheel one like the one below (can always pad it out with an old blanket or a couple of towels if it rattles too much.
Two wheeled ones are easy/quicker to move but you might prefer being able to rest on the handles and push?
This is just one example, if you Google for Shopping Trolley, you'll see loads at various prices.
(There are also some with built-in seats - not sure how practical they'd be for your requirements.
Happy shooting!

In Florida I see many, many, three wheeled baby carriages used to carry tripod and camera. TRIPOD IS NOT EXTENDED WHILE MOVING, DANGEROUS.

Pick up a Eddie Bauer Back pack, cut a hole just big enough for the legs to fit through, stick the legs though the hole and camera sits in remaining bottom of backpack....could also leave camera strap around your neck for added security. only $15.00, worth a shot.

Use an L bracket on the camera an Ikea rolling shopping bag with a square camera case insert and a bungee cord. Works well for me.

I have a backpack for my camera and stuff, and my tripod has a strap I can either sling on my shoulder or clip to the backpack to carry. I don't like to keep the camera on the tripod to carry it more than short distances.

A female friend of mine got a dog stroller it works perfect for her. She is a bird photographer and she has had great success with the stroller. In her case she got the large size stroller. I doubt you would need one that large. They can be somewhat expensive. She lucked out and found a good used one.

Thank u ,this looks like what I may need!cheers!

I use a jogging stroller with large wheels. Got it at a thrift store.

Would using a monopod be an acceptable alternative? Especially one that is made of carbon fiber!

I use a quick release on all my tripod heads. When I move a significant distance I carry the camera using my long over the head/shoulder camera strap and carry the tripod in my hand or in the case with strap that came with it.

Depending on the terrain, any roller bag could cause significant jostling of the camera which I would avoid.
