Own both, love the Volt. Different tools definitely, but the Voltmwins hands down when you consider weight and balance.

Big fan of the Boland here. Great monitor, very bright, and balances well with an onboard batt. Just sayin.

I’ve noticed some chattering if the batteries get low. Kind of a rude low voltage alert.

SOLD

Hi Geoff - I got this response from Tyson in the Tiffen shop earlier this week when I asked the same question: Hi Deke, We still don’t have a rain cover from our manufacturer. The best option is to put a bag over the volt and tape or bongo tie spots to keep from any leaks getting in. I’m hoping we’ll have a rain cover somewhat soon. Tyson Galland

Jerry - Thanks very much for that info. Another thing I learned quickly and unfortunately is that the pulley on the side of the gimbal is pretty easily susceptible to damage when hanging the sled up. In my first day of using the Volt (on my Pro sled) I broke said pulley - apparently it needs to be docked with the handle directly opposite the stand. Once it’s supported, the handle can be turned around, but docking with the handle off to the side is trouble. Cheers, - Deke

Hi Tom - this was a pretty down & dirty job, I intend to clean it up a bit. Since the plastic inlay sits on an aluminum fork I think there is no loss of strength. About to start a 6 month job, so I’ll see how it holds up.

Just got done putting this together - so far so good.

And SOLD!!!

You say it hasn’t been the same - what’s it doing?

Hi Sam - I used to run a lower docking collar for low mode, but don’t anymore. In the old days, we flipped the whole camera and remounted it for low mode. It made sense to hang the rig from the bottom end so the camera was right side up for reloading, etc. Now, most people go low mode by simply flipping the rig and the image as well. For me, it makes more sense to hang the rig right side up (again, for ease of reloading, etc) and then spin it when I put it up to fly. It adds a half second or so, but I find the time... Hope this helps. - dk

Extra points for shorts and knee high socks.

Brett - what do you mean no low mode without flipping the camera mounting?
