Premium Members Nicola Paoli Posted July 31 Premium Members Report Posted July 31 Hello everyone, I am selling my second kit, which currently serves as my backup rig. This is the exact trusted rig I started my Steadicam journey with some years ago, and it has been meticulously cared for ever since. I would honestly love to keep this as my backup system, but my current volume of Steadicam work doesn't really justify keeping such a rig —especially one equipped with a Volt— sitting in a closet. It deserves to be out in the field. I truly hope it goes into good hands and lives many more adventures on set. This is also a chance to get a rig equipped with the original OG Volt. While, as many will know, it is discontinued, full service and technical support are still active. OVERVIEW & CONDITION: Everything is in truly excellent condition. The gear has only been used in studios, indoor controlled environments, or at home for training—never outdoors. Everything has been handled, transported, and maintained with the utmost care. Top and bottom stages are rock-solid and completely vibration-free. The Volt works flawlessly, the gimbal is incredibly smooth, and the rig balances perfectly (the 180° test is spot-on using the Smartsystem counterweight and a washer). To demonstrate the pristine condition of the gimbal, a spin test starting from a 5-second complete revolution duration takes 2 minutes and 38 seconds to come to a complete stop, which is high tier performance. You can watch the video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/oC3lCauk3c8 ITEMS: SLED Calicocam V18 (1.5" post) made in Italy by Maurizio Aloi, with Maurizio's gimbal -Tiffen Volt -2x 3G SDI lines, various power outputs, and a dedicated tally line running along the post -3x battery plates -12v hotswap on all 3 plates, or 24v with the double plate -Monitor and battery rods swapped from carbon fiber to highly durable anodized aluminum -Level bubble mounted to the bottom stage -Custom dropdown bracket for the Volt brain box by Cam-Jam, slightly shorter than the standard, still leaving space for the front lemo 0b powering the Volt or other devices (required angled connector, correctly sized custom cables are included) -Smartsystem Volt counterweight -Volt protection and low mode collar by Jerry Holway & custom cable wrangler designed by me -Possum Solutions cheese plate for the Volt brain box.

For the time being I will not consider selling only the vests separately. If you buy the full kit or the sled only, I also have a brand new G-Zoom of the right handle size available. I can include it with a Fujinon adapter for an extra 800 € Available for inspection and testing in Basel, Switzerland.
