Operating with the Steadicam
®
Volt™
The best thing about adding this tool to your system is that you’re still operating a mechanical
stabilizer, and using your skills and years of experience to craft each shot. Here are some tips on how to
optimize the Volt, starting with trimming the post angle and the two operating modes. We’ll adjust the
control box dials later.
DO NOT TRIM with your top stage
balance like we used to...
Leave the sled in perfect neutral
balance at all times!
Operating
To trim, tilt the sled to any angle and SHORT-
press the gimbal handle (thumb) button. The
new trim angle is set immediately.
In normal mode, the articial bottom-heaviness
will return the sled to THIS angle.
This can be done on the y, during the shot - a
huge advantage to your operating.
