MYT Works Glide Line represents the latest and most advanced approach to camera slider dolly technology today. They have been manufacturing and delivering systems since 2010 with one goal: to create the strongest, smoothest and most portable systems available.
3-in-1 Hi-Hat Latch Release (This Model has 75mm Bowl)
A single lever releases the Hi-Hat from both the Glide and the Rover dolly, giving the operator three systems in one. Latch pressure is fully adjustable via a single thumbscrew located on the inside of the carriage. Need additional rigidity and precision? Operators may also use a set of their SRP Locking Bolts to screw the Hi-Hat into place.
The modularity of the Hi-Hat gives the operator tremendous freedom. The top mount may be quickly changed between 75mm, 100mm, 150mm, Mitchell or Flat Mount configurations to accommodate nearly any type of camera head. The stackable step rod legs may be exchanged to bring the camera package either higher or lower.
Sleeve/Wheel Bearing Block
MYT Works unique hybrid design achieves a new level or camera control by combining both a sleeve and a wheel. The rolling element reduces the amount of force the operator must apply to create a move. All the while, the sliding element smooths any unevenness, keeping the camera's inertia under control. The pair works in tandem to solidify the beginning and end of each move, preventing common problems of overshoot and backlash. Seamlessly ramp in and out of moves with very only light input to the Glide.
Best of all, the bearings are very easy to maintain. Remove the silicon caps to expose the wheels inside. Grab a cotton swab and then some warm water or denatured alcohol and gently apply pressure to each wheel while sliding back and forth.
Hard Coated Dual Extrusions
The Large Glide utilizes 16 mm diameter dual extrusion rails. The shape of the rail mimics that of a structural I-beam, making it stiff and resistant to bending under load. The Glide can be mounted on both ends; a third center support is not necessary.
MYT Works take great pride in the workmanship and quality of each one of their systems. All of their products are built to last and the Glide is no exception. Made of anodized aluminum and stainless steel, all of the components are incredibly robust and built to handle the rigors of production work. They are also proud to be Made in America. All of their custom components are designed, machined and assembled in the New York City and Tri-State area.
Attention to Detail
MYT Works really poured over every detail of their Glide Line to maximize it's utility on set. The End Caps were ergonomically designed to fit naturally in one's hand while allowing for a firm, secure grip. The naturally treated wood prevents discomfort in high and low temperature environments. Alternatively, exchange them for their Aluminum version for even more versatility and functionality.
Their Static Plates feature multiple 1/4", 3/16" and 1/2" attachment points, including a built-in 5/8" pin receiver and mounting patterns for interfacing tripods and stands. The Cross Rods are 19 mm diameter to accommodate the wide variety of existing camera accessories on the market.
