Inflate - A - Light (Airstar Balloon)

The Airstar Crystal 160 is a giant soft lighting source that is inflated and sustained by an internal fan. The fan has both high and low speeds that can be switched down after the initial inflation to help with sound. Inside the inflated white ball are two 1,000 watt halogen bulbs, which can only be lit once fully inflated (for your safety).  China balls have nothing on this huge, softly lit globe. The best part is that it packs down into a small … Continue reading

If you haven’t had one of our new “pipe dollies” on one of you jobs yet you don’t know what you’re missing. I saw these at the NAB show last year and just had to have them. I was probably more excited about these than I’ve been about any equipment recently. They’re so well made, versatile and they just look so cool. MYT Works is a little company from New York and their motto is “Born out of frustration.” Frustration with how poorly products like this have worked in the past. Frustration with how “home made” so much of it … Continue reading
