  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Open to all brands and configs, but just needs to be quality and perform well. A decked out Scarlet and Epic with Canon Primes will be as heavy as we get (so maybe 10-12 lbs?)

Please let me know if you're selling one...looking to purchase by next Friday, otherwise we're just renting one. Thanks!
 
All the sliders people are talking about here are kinda crappy in a lot of ways. Not to belittle them for what they are, but the indie slider and the cinevate are not that great. For the money they are ok and you can't really compare them to something like That Cat which is probably one of the best. I will say that I've used a ton of sliders and the best bang for the buck is by far MYT. Different sizes available for different weights, varying lengths and every mount you would need. Definitely highly recommend them. They aren't the best but they are better than anything else that is $3k and under and they stand up well to the $10-$15k sliders. http://mytworks.com/
 
I would sell you a Cinevate one but I love and use them both. :-) I have also tried a lot of dolly variations, and absolutely love and stand behind my Cinevate pair. The atlas 10 is dead silent and will support 30lbs (maybe even 40 if its supported on both ends) and the atlas 200 will support 200 lbs and uses a roller ball bearing system. Very fast moves you can hear the bearings, slow moves it goes quiet. I have the 5 foot 200 and the 4 ft 10. I use the 10 for DSLR's and break out the 200 for my epic. You can check out my image to see the 200 with the Dromos high hat so you can see the possibilities. :-)
 
Wow! Lots of good options here.
 
+ 1 for the mytworks. The medium is rated for 80lbs, and is built like a tank. Their customer service is top notch! Anyone who answers their phone after business hrs at 10pm est has my vote.

The MYT looks nice. Anyone in Los Angeles looking to part with one?
