Archer 2 Volt and vibration issues in low mode

Has anybody ever had vibration issues while in low mode? They are micro vibrations that happen during a low mode shot. They always happen for me. Operating the rig doesn't feel any different for me and I don't feel the vibrations physically, but it is evident in the footage. Could it be a volt/gimbal issue?

I've had similar problems for a while there are multiple possible sources and solutions.

  • The control box is lose somehow, can be minimal. It then starts oscillating in a certain position ie. upside down (low-mode) for example. I changed the mount to something custom.(see picture, also attached a low mode monitor to it) 
  • Too much force for the rigidity of the sled set on the volt. For me this happened when I had a very light build and extended sled. To solve this I dialed the roll dial a little bit back until it stops (don't need full roll stabilization for "normal" shooting)
  • Something not "Volt" related as for example a loose top stage or battery mount (solution= check all screws if they are tight but don't overdo it)

Hope this helps.

Best,

B.
