Sweet! Is there a demo before purchase opportunity?

We work in a world where being seen in a reflection is bad, and for live operators the need is to remain as unobtrusive as possible. And providing the least amount of distraction to the actors. Anything but black is unprofessional, in my opinion.

I have experienced an issue when I set a tilt angle and release my hold the frame dips ever so slightly. This is in "normal" mode. When in "sticky" mode the tilt remains exactly where it's set. I did a firmware update maybe 4 months ago that was supposed to fix this issue but it only fixed it in sticky mode. Perhaps there is a more recent update?

Damn that sucks. Do these storage companies assume any financial liability for break-ins? Do they sell you insurance like the car rental companies do?

Thanks for sharing that. Walter and Jen have been great in any dealings I have had with them. 

Would you consider selling 1 of the all in one headsets with battery?

Not sure how this would work without a stabilized head. Think it would induce more movement, unless maybe you added a Wave.

Is the arm still available?

Maybe $3000

When?

4 letter word: MOVI?

Hi Lawrence,

The DIONIC 90 was 7amps and the DIONIC HC was 10amps.

Thanks Paul. I meant the Dionic HC's.

Just curious about this:

The Titon batteries are designed to handle a 10 amp load. What were the Dionic 90's designed to handle?

Great. Email me directly.

BTW, the "hole at wrong angle" issue has been fixed.

Great, Jerry! Is it possible to make a shorter gimbal handle? I hold the handle at the curve which makes it difficult to reach the tilt lock button with my index finger in mid-shot without releasing my grip and influencing the frame. My PRO handle was much shorter.

Hi Lawrence,

Thanks for your comment. Yes you're correct,  it's supplied as one complete component from the factory that you fix in place with the double sided tape, but it seems that this assembly is made up of 2 components, one is the main body of the assembly and the other is the ring that has whatever technology in-bedded that the encoder/sensor reads. In my case the main body is still in place, the double sided tape has not let go, just the ring of smart material has slipped off the main body. I would expect that they aren't intended to come apart but in my case they have. Perhaps a call to Tiffen is the best bet here.

Sorry I misunderstood your problem. Glad to hear you got it sorted out. Clearly the Volt is not designed to sustain the forces present below the Equator.;-)

I believe it comes with some spare double-sided adhesive strips in the box.

I’ve just put one on my GPI PRO. I had two choices, I could’ve added the volt to my pro Gimbal, or the way I decided to go, I bought the M1 Gimbal for Pro. The M1 Gimbal has a sleeve or insert to make it fit the 1.5 centre post, and the Gimbal handle fits the pro arm posts. I can change the inserts at a later date if I want to go to an M1 sled.

I think the only non tiffen Gimbal that can be adapted to the volt is the GPI PRO but you should confirm that with Tiffen. 

Check your low-mode bracket. The hole in the handle made specifically for PRO sized posts is stupidly 90 degrees off from where the holes are drilled in the PRO arm posts and PRO gimbal handles.This is where you might place a retention pin to keep the arm post in place if turned upside down.

Ebay or if you can wait for 10 days I think I have one at home.
