Chris Beemer 0 Report post Posted July 8 Does anyone know if the M1 volt can be used with others off brands of sleds and arms? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Hess 3 Report post Posted July 9 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerry Holway 168 Report post Posted July 9 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 206 Report post Posted July 10 "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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerry Holway 168 Report post Posted July 22 Yes, you can adapt the Shadow V gimbal (or Shadow, U2, Clipper), or get a M1/M2 gimbal set for 1.58" posts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
