M1 volt, can it be used on another Steadicam brand!

Looking for Master Vest, 3A/EFP Arm or similar

Hi, thanks for the offer! I already got a Pro Vest and a 3A Arm. :) -

Hey folks, I'm new to the forum and new to Steadicam operating. Currently, I'm practicing with a cheap chinese steadicam knock-off. It's fine for what it is and I'm just getting started so it wouldn't have made sense to invest in an expensive rig from the beginning (financial situation aside). So I've been practicing and the rig is really ok and I'll be able to use it for some more time until I can afford a professional rig. Besides the ok working mechanics, the electronics are not existing or just not really useful. So I planned some diy battery and wiring upgrade. Things I wa
