If anyone is looking to sell a couple of Black cannisters for the PRO arm, reach out and let me know.

I'm not sure what resources are around you, but I enjoy going to a local camera rental house to practice. It's a great opportunity to fly different cameras, lenses, accessories... and to test new equipment that you might have recently purchased. As far as getting more subjects in a frame, pull your friends and other production folks together to create your own practice sessions. Create a series of shot ideas/techniques you would like to drill and work them together, rotating people around as actors, operators and also observation to watch from a distance and critique from there. This method is also great to do when wanting to brush up on conventional operating skills as well.

Several years ago I had the Volt modified to my Pro Gimbal and have had a wonderful experience. I know my Pro Gimbal, I trust it and how it feels. It's easy for me to disassemble for cleaning/maintenance... When Tiffen announced they were able to modify it to fit a Pro Gimbal, it was a no brainer for me. The Volt functions just as it would on any other gimbal, but I still have the confidence in the Pro gimbal that I already trust. When needed, the Volt is easy to remove in order to service the gimbal at home, which is a big plus.

I bought one a couple of years ago for practice reasons as well. It's been great to have for those times I want to brush up on the wheels and either can't get to a rental house, or they can't accommodate at the time. It surprisingly is a solid build with a close feel to a professional gearhead, but I would NEVER use it on a job. It lacks the great features and it's tolerances are not 100%, but for at home practice, it will be great.

Over the weekend I did some maintenance on my gear and decided to clean my pan bearings. My setup is a Volt/Pro modified gimbal. I've done this a few times before, so I am comfortable doing it and getting it all back together. For some reason, this time is different and I am getting play (a wiggle) in the pan bearing housing. I have taken it back apart and reassembled several times to make sure everything is done correctly, but I keep getting the same results. Once built and rebalanced, I give it the 180 test and it does list to the side in a small way, so this is having an affect on balance. I've attached a couple of videos to show what is occuring. It's subtle, but it's there. Heck, for all I know this level of play has always been there, and for some reason I'm just now tuned in to it, but I doubt it. I've emailed all this to Tyson at Tiffen for their take. I've not heard back yet, so I thought I would see if others have had this. With it being the Volt on a Pro gimbal, it brings up the good question of what component is in question and who will work on it, if I need to send it in. Top_Gimbal.mp4 Bottom_Gimbal.mp4

I've had an intermittent issue where it wants to pull my pan to the right, but only when the rig becomes static. I know it's not supposed to have any influence in the pan, but I seem to get it from time to time. The issue didn't start happening until 4 months after purchasing it. I've been in touch with Tiffen about it, and they've walked me through some tips and trouble shooting, but it still comes up. I had it happen on a shoot the other week and failed to get a video showing what it does. I later tried to recreate the situation at home and a rental house, but the issue didn't occur. The tugging on the pan only happens when the Volt is engaged, so I know it's not a problem with the gimbal itself. I should mention that my Volt is fitted to the Pro gimbal.
