Thought I'd check

Do you have the serial numbers to these arms you are selling? We can cross check with tiffen about being true g70's and g70x upgrades, etc.

Fits in a 1650 with an arm, dock and one inovativ wheel.

Well I'd listen to Jerry, he's an OG vet and leads the SOA workshop. As a volt owner, when it works, it's a shot saver and definitely makes shooting days better. As a new op, I'd be hesitant on relying on it early on. Just remove the drive assembly when practicing without it.

Fair price with the volt. First rig, skip the volt. It will inhibit your skill set. It may make you appear more capable but you'll lack complete understanding of operating. Two options I see. Go through with the purchase and sell the volt, use that cash for the other accessories you'll need, bits and bobs, maybe a cart, zalex long plate, digital level, etc. Or keep it and use it sparingly. Selling it may give you a head start on some other purchases.

About to purchase a second rig and bringing some parts over. The old rig will be losing its gimbal. Still debating whether to just have it as a back up rig or sell it complete. As for the gimbal, I prefer something in good condition, I'm not looking to spend too much so looking for the lonely babies that just sit doing nothing.

Neutral balance could help, maybe skinny up the sled too, I know that would lower pan inertia, but I could see it helping for the tilt. Whip tilts sound scary.

woooo!

It sounds like when you are turning the volt on you didn't do so with the gimbal in the correct position. The gimbal handle needs to be oriented in a specific way when the volt powers up. I believe with goofy set ups the gimbal handle should be in line with the front of the camera as opposed to being in line with the rear of the camera for regular operating. If this is not the case please feel free to DM me as I have a long list of troubleshooting techniques.

Honestly, I don't blame you. I feel like I'm stuck in a loveless marriage with mine. It's exhausting just trying to see if they have little/common things to improve my sled.

You'll need to be specific as to which set of electronics you have from mkv. All of their center post cables are different. I've even seen different connectors within the same model.

It could be pan wag caused by your pan bearing needing a good cleaning. Does it happen when the gimbal handle is influencing it or completely stationary when on your balancing stud? Also other things: If this happens while in a tilt with the volt on, just adjust your side to side to stop the pan. Be cautious of the tension of the volt cable it's lack of slack could influence pan.

Keep your old gimbal! Gear fails. You can always take the drive assembly off the m2 gimbal, but I highly recommend keeping your xcs gimbal, as it's the best one I've ever come into contact with. I'm not sure if the gimbal in question is an xcs, but having a back up is quite nice.

Damn I'm so sorry to hear. I will keep an eye out. Out of curiosity, what storage unit company were you with? Or was it a private one? This always scares me as I keep gear in a unit.

Out of curiosity, did you switch arms?

Just ordered mine. I have an M1. Tiffen has been out of stock for months with no idea of restock. Make sure you buy the docking kit as well unless you have an aircraft pin and baby pin adapter already

I'm almost positive it will. It worked with the DB2 and db3.
