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

[Chris Beemer]

Does anyone know if the M1 volt can be used with others off brands of sleds and arms? 

[Corey Hess]

The Volt can be used on M1, M2, Archer, Shadow, GPI Pro, and Betz RIG. What off-brand are you looking at? If it's a 1.5" or 2" post diameter, the gimbal should fit, but mounting the control box might be a problem for you.

It’s also compatible with the newly released 1,74” Artemis posts from Arri.

FYI, if you buy an M1 or M2 gimbal, it's easy to modify it for the post diameter of 1.75 inch or less (1.58, 1.50...).

If it's a different gimbal to be modified for the Volt, many (expensive) parts have to be modified to fit the Volt bits to the gimbal. It's not just fitting to a different diameter post.

Slight but needed correction, as Jerry says "1.75 inch or less " for post sizes. There is currently no way to put a Volt onto a 2" post (fingers crossed that this will change some day).

My mistake!

Can u easily upgrade To volt on a Shadow V sled.? 

[George Grammatikos]

I suppose that I learn to live with wave and totally forgot the volt as I love 2” post

[Jerry Holway]

Yes, you can adapt the Shadow V gimbal (or Shadow, U2, Clipper), or get a M1/M2 gimbal set for 1.58" posts

I had my Volt attached to my Betz rig by Mr. Christian Betz himself. Works very well!
