That’s right ! 12 feet long ! Just delivered last week for a new client. Naturally, we delivered it in a custom wooden case. The length dictates it. On all MYT Glides, but especially on longer models, multiple carriages can be mounted for cameras on the same track. Multiple cross rods (15mm standard) allow for additional mounting options. We are proud to be the only manufacturer in the World of Dolly Glides to offer such lengths.

MYT Bowl Manufacturing

Posted under Product Updates.

These pictures show the topside of the MYT 100mm bowls made in our machine shop. This is the first stage of a lengthy process that takes more than 4 hours for each bowl. Each bowl is machined out of a single 1.75 x 6 x 6 inch block of aluminum. The same goes for every part we make, and this is something we are very proud of. This CNC machining manufacturing process, avoiding casting, is significantly more costly but insures the highest level of strength and reliability in every MYT component. These parts are meant to last for an extraordinarily long time. Soon, we’ll post a real-time clip showing the entire process.

MYT Adjustable Leveling Mounts

Posted under Product Updates.

Soon to be introduced, hopefully by March 2011, this new accessory should delight some of our existing clients and add to the array of available mounting options for our MYT line of dollies. We can’t tell you more at this stage. However we can share with great certainty that you will pleasantly surprised by the range of options the MYT Adjustable Leveling Mounts offers. Stay tuned.

MYT SRP LOCKING BOLTS NOW AVAILABLE

Posted under Product Updates.

The SRP Locking Bolts that we described here previously are now available! Affordably priced, these easy-to-use bolts will tighten and straighten the connection between your MYT Hi-Hat and Carriage. Though they do limit the extent to which you can take advantage of the 3-in-1 single lever technology, having to unscrew each bolt before removing and moving the Hi-Hat, they do provide extraordinary stability for your MYT Hi-Hat. These bolts are practical and portable accessories that function incredibly well for certain types of camera work.

Available now!

MYT Color Scheme

Posted under Product Updates.

The choice and selection of colors for our MYT line of dollies took a very long time. It was a difficult process of trial and error, particularly for the copper and silver-blue colors, hues not easy to achieve. Anodizers, which we use to attain the correct pigmentation, do not like to work with custom colors for numerous reasons. One being the difficulty in perpetuating a consistent value month after month with distinct batches. This explains why most parts you see on the market today are red, blue, black and clear. Boring colors, often tacky, too shiny or overly dull, not to mention of questionable wear and tear. Black anodizing in particular always seems a poor choice, as it readily displays signs of use right away – scratches appear almost immediately. Our colors are unique and meant to compliment both the clear anodized carriage and Hi-hat as well as the wood end-caps. The classic aesthetic of our products is very important to us, and is a theme that you will witness from our wooden handles to our heavy-duty carrying cases, all the way to the dollies themselves. Throughout the MYT line of dollies, the copper color reflects the MYT Glide and Skate Small, the gold the Medium and the Silver-blue the Large size.

Taller MYT Baby Feet

Posted under Product Updates.

The 1/2 13′ threads on the baby feet are the same as those on all MYT SR Rods. If you want to set up your MYT Glide higher on the baby feet, simply add MYT SR’s of the desired length and add them to the MYT Baby Feet. The Baby Feet screw in the same way on the static and cheese plate with added MYT SR Rods.

6 Jan 2012

MYT Wing-Nuts

Posted under Product Updates.

Our MYT Wing-nuts, located on the static and cheese plates, are assembled with 1/4 20 screws. The 1/4 20′s are located on the plates, carriage, and cheese plate. We also offer them individually for anyone who wants to secure something on the 1/4 20 threads located on the MYT static and cheese plates as well as the MYT carriage and the MYT handle bracket. Like our MYT level, they can also be used with any non-MYT equipment prepared with 1/4 20′ threads.

MYT Baby Feet on the MYT Hi-hat

Posted under Product Updates.

Unscrew the MYT Caps located at the bottom of the 4 SR3′s on the MYT Hi-hat and you’ll notice the threads that line the interior. You can add MYT Rods to make the MYT Hi-hat taller and/or add the MYT Baby Feet. All of MYT Rods that we manufacture can be screwed into one another, meaning that you can alter the height of your kit at will. Affixing the Baby Feet to the bottom Rod is particularly helpful when using the MYT Hi-hat by itself on a slippery or fragile surface prone to scratches or damage.

22 Dec 2011

MYT SR12

Posted under Product Updates.

Not many people know that with SR12′s and the BPA adaptor, you can mount a light on the MYT Hi-hat and/or any of the static plate where 1/2 13′ are located. Doing this is particularly helpful and saves from having to set up an additional light stand. SR 12′s are not the only option, either – any MYT Rod combination will do. We manufacture SR12, SR7, SR5, SR4, SR3, SR2, SR1′s. The number after the SR denomination indicates the length in inches. All MYT Rods can be screwed into one another.

MYT Cleaning

Posted under Product Updates.

Some of our clients ask us about cleaning the bearings on our products. It is really easy ! Here is all you have to do: unscrew the wood end-caps with an allen key, then gently slide the carriage off the tracks while making sure the bearings don’t fall off. Two bearings and the locking bearing will naturally slip off the dowel pins. The attached bearings can be cleaned by holding them upside down and using a cotton swap or Q-tip dampened with alcohol and rubbing them gently against the yellow sleeve and the white wheel. The wheel is often the dirtiest with black spots that are usually easy to see. Remember ! DO NOT USE lubricants, oil or or synthetic cleaners. It is not good for your MYT Glide and it won’t perform as well at it should. The same goes for the rails. When you are ready to put back the carriage, be gentle. Don’t rush it and risk damaging the wheels against the edge of the rails. If you’re unsure on how to do it or are still experiencing a problem after cleaning them, don’t hesitate to send your carriage with the bearing to us. We’ll check them out, clean them and send them right back to you, usually within 48 hours. This service is free of charge.

MYT BABY FEET AND HI-HAT

Posted under Product Updates.

You can unscrew the MYT Rod plugs for the MYT SR3 rods on the MYT Hi-hat and extend them by adding additional rods but also use the thread to screw in the MYT baby feet. Quite a useful feature! With 4 MYT Baby feet mounted on the MYT Hi-hat, you get a Mini Tripod for your camera, one that does not slide or move. It is particularly helpful on glass and/or very smooth slick surfaces.

MYT ADJUSTABLE LEGS

Posted under Product Updates.

We know, we know! They are still in the works! One of the most complicated accessories we had to design but we are getting close and hope to have them available early next year. We just did not wish to settle for the usual contraption. We want to make sure they are very easy to use while truly versatile. We also want them to be compatible for both the MYT Gide Medium and Large.

MYT SRP LOCKING BOLTS

Posted under Product Updates.

Soon to be available, the MYT SRP’s are great for any operator who wants to lock the MYT Hi-Hat tightly to the carriage. To use, you simply take the rod plugs out, place the MYT Hi-Hat back into place and screw in the SRP’s from below. The SRP’s, which can also be used with the MYT Skate, do limit some of the convenience of of the 3-in-1 system as you you cannot remove the Hi-Hat without first un-screwing the Bolts.

1 Nov 2011

MYT BROOMSTICK ADAPTOR

Posted under Product Updates.

Sounds crazy ? It’s for real and we are almost done with the design and ready to enter it in production. Suggested by one of our clients, it is actually a great idea to push and guide the MYT Glide or Skate using a standard Broom or the MYT SR Rods. The accessory will mount directly on the carriage and/or the handle bracket.

27 Oct 2011

1/4 20′s THROUGH OUT

Posted under Product Updates.

We’re not sure every one is aware that there are 1/4 20′ located everywhere on the MYT Glides and Skates. On the plates, the carriage, the handle bracket, and the cheese plate. We added them in numerous locations for added convenience and mounting options. Whether it be an Israeli arm, an additional leveling dial, an adaptor, they can be attached from above and below.

25 Oct 2011

MYT WOOD HANDLE

Posted under Product Updates.

We cannot stress enough how helpful the MYT Wood handles are! They are great for any move where the operator wants a longer run while looking at a monitor instead of the viewfinder. Depending on your position and the MYT Glide, it can make for a smoother motion since your wrist is facing down and not sideways.

20 Oct 2011

HALF BALL ADAPTOR

Posted under Product Updates.

Our half ball adaptor can be used with the 3/8 thread directly on the Static plate or with the 3 Allan screws provided. The screws go through the 3 through-holes surrounding the stud caps. It makes for a far more secure attachment, one that also prevents the MYT Glide from turning loose if inadvertently pushed on one side. It it also a snugger fit. One of the Vimeo clips shows how to get it done.

18 Oct 2011

NEW MYT CARRYING CASE MODEL

Posted under Product Updates.

Our new MYT Medium carrying case is finally here. After months of tinkering with different materials, we are thrilled with the final result. It is, in our humble opinion, a georgeous carrying case. Made of waterproof material with strategically placed re-enforcements for protection, leather straps, Cotton webbing and heavy duty nickel zippers, we are confident you won’t be able to see a better looking, more practical and rugged soft carrying case anytime soon. For good measure, we also added a side pocket for accessories and bottom pads. We are now offering the MYT Medium 4f, the MYT Small 3 and 4f. We are working on the templates for some of the other sizes in our line as well. We should announce these models very soon.

MYT MITCHELL FREE WHEELING ROTATING PLATE

Posted under Product Updates.

An industry first, our MYT Mitchell Free wheeling rotating plate is truly one of a kind, incredibly easy to use, a breeze to set up with dual hand-holding quick rotating locking base. Unlike ratcheted plates, it allows for infinite positioning as well as the ability to mount it on any tripod with a Mitchell base and tripods with a 100 or 150 mm bowl. Truly versatile for a variety of mounting options, this is one of the best accessories we’ve ever designed and something that has never been made available before. Price and availability will be posted soon with an expected release date of December 2011.

MYT MITCHELL ADAPTOR PLATE

Posted under Product Updates.

In the works, soon to be released, a very useful adaptor for everyone with a MYT Glide Medium and Large. Mounting directly on the MYT Glide, The Mitchell adaptor plate allows for mounting your Glider on any mount, tripod with a Mitchell plate. With 4 keys and a new center thread screw, it is easy to mount with 3 Allan screws. The MYT Mitchell adaptor plate will become available late October.

6 Oct 2011

MYT CARRIAGE SCREW ADJUSTMENT

Posted under Product Updates.

Some of you might not be aware that the tightening lever on the carriage is adjustable. When we build the MYT Glide, we set the tightness to a set value but it is fully adjustable to the tension you’d like to have on the MYT Hi-hat. The tightening nut is located on the inside of the carriage frame. Counterclockwise tightens, Clockwise loosens. We don’t recommend to tighten it too hard and past a certain point, it also won’t add additional pressure. This was done purposefully as a safeguard for the clamp lever.

4 Oct 2011

MYT LEVEL

Posted under Product Updates.

The MYT Level comes standard with a 1/4 20 thread. While it comes mounted on the carriage, you can unscrew it at anytime and set it wherever you like. On 1/4 20 located on the MYT Handles, plates, and skater. Some like to use more than one for speedier leveling. Made of Stainless steel, they will not rust as well as any other part of our MYT’s which are either made or machined aluminum, stainless steel, delrin, and wood.

MYT HI-HAT MOUNTING OPTIONS

Posted under Product Updates.

It might not seem obvious at first sight but the MYT Hi-hat is designed to be taken apart if needed. The MYT Rods, sleeves, handle bracket, and mount can be disassembled for transport and more importantly for change in rod size or mount. If you decide you need a different mount besides the one you currently own or were thinking of acquiring, you can simply undo the mount off the MYT Hi-hat and use any other one without having to purchase another complete MYT Hi-hat. Also as a reminder, the bottom rod caps can be un-screwed and MYT Rods of various length can be screwed in. All MYT Gliders and Skaters come standard with SR3′s but these can be replaced with any of the MYT Rods available in different lengths from 1 to 12 inches. This is particularly helpful for people who use a tripod heads with a longer tie down. To give an example MYT SR5 Rods are needed when using a Miller head. If not, the tie down will hit the static plates holding the rails.

MYT WOOD HANDLES

Posted under Product Updates.

They are incredibly helpful ! You can mount them anywhere on the MYT carriage and handle bracket. It’s as if you were driving the carriage instead of pushing it. They are particularly helpful when you use your camera in conjunction with a monitor and make your move as you watch it. It is just far easier ergonomically and less tiring on repeated moves.

MYT BABY FEET

Posted under Product Updates.

They are a no-brainer ! Easy to use, you just screw them in the 1/213′ located at all corners of the MYT static plates. The soft rubber ball mounted on a standard MYT SR 1 Rod allows for secure and non-scratching positioning on all surfaces including delicate ones.

20 Sep 2011

MYT SKATER FEATURES

Posted under Product Updates.

skate glider slider myt works best film camera equipment

A little non feature on the MYT Skater is the ability to make turns by locking the Pan on your fluid head. We intentionally gave a slight play in the axles to allow for such maneuvering. Many use the head handles to push the MYT Skater around. Remember that you can also use the MYT Skater on uneven surfaces like carpet, parquet floor and other surfaces that are not perfectly flat. This is made possible by the larger diameter wheels. Something never done before on skater dollies, where the average wheel is a hard skater wheel that is very sensitive to any surface discrepancy. Our wheel ranges from 4 inches on the MYT Skater small, 5 inches on the Medium, and 6 inches on the MYT Skate Large.

15 Sep 2011

MYT GLIDE AND THROUGH HOLES

Posted under Product Updates.

Besides all the 1/4 20, 3/8, 5/8 and 1/2 13 holes located on the MYT Static and Center static plates, we bored through-holes to allow for more mounting options on different surfaces like wood or apple boxes.

13 Sep 2011

MYT END CAPS CLAMPING

Posted under Product Updates.

Some clients have used various clamps to hold the MYT Glide on either or both ends. We don’t recommend it. You might crack the handles and/or damage them. An easier solution is to mount a standard 5/8′ stud below the MYT Glide, tighten it, use a Gobo head or arm. It is also easier to adjust in this manner.

8 Sep 2011

MYT GLIDE AND LIGHT STANDS

Posted under Product Updates.

While it is possible to use two light stands to mount the MYT Glide, there are better solutions. It is not that it can’t handle it , it’s simply a matter of torsion and back and forth swing that prevents a stable configuration. Not to mention that 5/8 studs are not particularly precise in their machining and have a lot of play. We highly recommend to use a tripod on one side and a stand on the other as well as a half ball adaptor on the tripod. It is a very stable solution and with the half ball adaptor, you don’t sacrifice your tripod head supporting the MYT Glide.

6 Sep 2011

MYT MITCHELL

Posted under Product Updates.

Our MYT Mitchell plate now comes with 4 keys, instead of three. A far easier setup when mounting your Mitchell head on the MYT Mitchell Hi-hat.

MYT MAINTENANCE

Posted under News.

Routine maintenance checkup! No problem. If you live in the NYC you can drop your MYT Glide off . Within 48 to 72 hours, we’ll give it back to you all checked out and given a clean bill of health. Otherwise, you can ship it to us and we’ll do the same. There is no charge for this service. If a part needs to be replaced or upgraded, we contact you to discuss. It is that simple. However, you must contact us first so we can schedule a time.

29 Aug 2011

MYT MITCHELL ADAPTOR

Posted under News, Product Updates.

It’s finally here ! Our MYT Mitchell adaptor plate is available. A machined plate, like all our parts, with 4 keys positions fittting both the MYT Glide Medium and Large. For those of you who don’t want to go all the way to the MYT Racheted Mitchell Plate, this is a good affordable alternative. Straightforward set up with three allen bolts, it fits right on the Center Static, Static and Dynamic plate.

25 Aug 2011

MYT RODS AND CROSS RODS

Posted under Product Updates.

A feature often overlooked in our rods is their diameter. The rods are designed with a 15mm industry standard diameter with a 19 mm body. You are free to mount any standard 15 and 19mm accessory on the rods as well as our cross rods.

23 Aug 2011

MYT HI-HAT MEDIUM/LARGE

Posted under Product Updates.

We noticed a lot of people were not aware that our MYT Hi-hat in any configuration, whether it be a 100mm, 150 mm, Bowl, Mitchell, Flat Mount can be mounted on both the MYT Glide Medium and Large as well as the MYT Skater Medium and Large. Backward and forward compatible between both sizes, it is incredibly convenient on location where you can switch seamlessly between both sizes. It is also quite practical for rental houses where convenience and ease of putting a package together is of paramount importance.

MYT RAIL CLEANING

Posted under Product Updates.

As a reminder to all our customers, you don’t need to use any lubricant (DWR 40, oil, silicone, Moonshine) to clean the track. A damp cloth or alcohol will do. Using lubricants can also gum the wheels on the sleeve bearings. You don’t want to go there ! It is a real drag to clean when it gets thick and the carriage seems sluggish. If you have any questions on proper maintenance, don’t hesitate to contact us.

11 Aug 2011

MYT FLAT MOUNTS

Posted under Product Updates.

Some of you might not be aware of our MYT Flat Mount option which is available throughout our line of Gliders. The MYT Glide Small Flat Mount fits specifically on the Small MYT Glide. The MYT Flat Mount Medium fits on both MYT Medium and MYT Large carriage just like the MYT 100mm, the MYT 150mm, and the MYT Mitchell. The MYT Flat Mount is particularly popular with people who like to use smaller head without a ball mount like a Manfrotto 501 or 503. It also allows for a low position on the MYT Glider as well as a stand alone low profile Hi-Hat.

MYT ADJUSTABLE LEGS

Posted under Product Updates.

We know, we know ! We’ve been announcing the MYT Adjustable Legs for a long time now and showed a bare bones prototype at NAB. The MYT Adjustable Legs are coming but we’re simply not ready and not 100% percent happy with the current design. Our requirements are quite specific and unique. Not to mention that we want to make the MYT adjustable legs compatible with both the MYT Large and Medium. To make matters more challenging, we are devising a unique latching system and cannot reveal any details yet. Hopefully, we’ll be able to give you some more information come September.

MYT IN DUBAI

Posted under News, Product Updates.

We want to thank our new client in Dubai who are being delivered a MYT 10 ft Large for their production studio. We are thrilled to have a MYT 10 ft Glider operating in a studio environment as part of a permanent installation. Hopefully, our client will send us pictures soon so we can see the MYT Glider fully operational.

To put the MYT Large 10 ft in perspective, it weights less than 40 pounds with the same load capacity as the regular length and positively does not bend over the entire length of the track and like some stainless steel tracks based sliders. Both our MYT Glide Large and Medium come in length up to 12 feet.

MYT ON VIMEO AND FLICKR

Posted under News.

We are slowly but surely adding more videos and stills to both sites. On Vimeo, we’ll be posting additional segments to highlight, explain and go over some new features, MYT accessories and Models. On Flikr, we feature mostly accessories and how they are used on the MYT’s. On the site itself, within weeks, we’ll be adding a “MYT in Action” page dedicated to stills sent by MYT owners. Needless to say, we’d love to receive any stills you can send us as well as comments and thoughts.

MYT END CAPS

Posted under Product Updates.

Our MYT end caps now come treated with mineral oil and finer sanded edges. We’ve adopted a new fabrication method that significantly enhances our wood end caps finish and feel. Some people have asked us; why wood end caps? They are a few reasons beyond the obvious joy of holding something as pleasant as wood. In the summer, you won’t burn your hands if you pick up your MYT Glide on a bright sunny day, like you would with end caps made of metal or other type material. As for the winter, you will prevent freezing your hands. With time the end caps will get smoother and smoother as the wood ages and gets constantly oiled by your hands. In turn they’ll be more pleasant to hold with time. As for the smell, there is nothing like walnut and oak. Some of you will notice a slight campfire like smell. It comes from the MYT Works logo that is branded on each end cap.

19 Jul 2011

MYT PROTECTIVE SLEEVES

Posted under Product Updates.

We highly recommend that you keep the plastic protective sleeves you get on the rails when you receive your MYT. They slide in very easily when you hold on one side and push gently downward against the rail. They will protect your rails during transport but also on location when not in use. We also recommend that you leave the protective sleeve on the bottom track when not using the MYT Dynamic plate. If you loose the protective sleeve, contact us and we’ll gladly send you some at no cost besides shipping. If you want to check how to proceed with setting up the protective sleeve, check out our video describing the procedure on our Vimeo page.

An accessory that has proven to be quite convenient and also very helpful one are when rushed situations where quick setup and adjustments are required. We’ve also extended our line of MYT Rods. Beside the SR1, SR3, SR5, SR 7 and SR 12, we now offer the SR2, SR4. As a reminder, The SR 1 and SR3 are also available in Stainless steel.

We’re also thrilled to have received the Mario Award for best new technology from TV Technology.com.

MYT MITCHELL MOUNTS

Posted under Product Updates.

Many of our clients have inquired as to why the Mitchell Mount is only offered as an accessory in our line of dollies. It was always our intention to offer this option, however as we engineer and manufacture everything in house we wanted to take the time to make sure our Mitchell Mount design was perfect. We think we have accomplished this goal and are happy to announce that we are now offering Mitchell Mounts as a standard option on Large MYT 3in1, MYT GLIDE and MYT SKATE.

MYT END CAPS

Posted under Product Updates.

Some may wonder whether the end caps are treated with either oil and/or some kind of varnish. They aren’t. Purposefully ! They have been precisely cut, machined and fine sanded but left on without any treatment. We believe that over time, the natural oils secreted from your hands will polish the wood which in turn will take its own unique patina. Every end cap will be uniquely different and should last for a very long time. Some of you may want to use some Wax with extended use, however please be aware that this may cause the wood to darken. If you are purchasing the MYT Glide SMALL and are sensitive to the Aromatic Cedar end caps, let us know, we’ll forward you a new set treated with a natural product that will take away the smell while preserving the fine wood color and grain.
