Chris Beemer 1 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Does anyone know if the M1 volt can be used with others off brands of sleds and arms? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Hess 5 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Schoen 1 Sustaining Members Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 It’s also compatible with the newly released 1,74” Artemis posts from Arri. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jerry Holway 178 Sustaining Members Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 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.

Alec Jarnagin SOC 213 Moderators Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 "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." 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). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jerry Holway 178 Sustaining Members Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Yes, you can adapt the Shadow V gimbal (or Shadow, U2, Clipper), or get a M1/M2 gimbal set for 1.58" posts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ants Martin Vahur 4 Sustaining Members Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 I had my Volt attached to my Betz rig by Mr. Christian Betz himself. Works very well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
