Frequently asked questions: operating
Can I still operate with the VOLT turned off or if the VOLT fails?
Answer: Yes, you can operate with the VOLT turned off, just make sure to remove the belts and tape
down the motors so that they do not move during use. Better yet, you could also remove the VOLT all
together. It’s only a 5-minute process.
How often do I need to recalibrate?
Answer: No periodic recalibration is needed on the VOLT unless the mounting of the VOLT Control box
has physically shifted. If re-calibration is needed, SHORT-press the trim button on the control
box and position the sled to the new level position while the LEDs blink for 5 seconds. When LED
blinking stops, your new horizon position (or Dutch angle) is now stored in memory.
NOTE: Trim can be set independently in low mode and in high modes.
How do I do a factory reset?
Answer: To reset the roll horizon to default, LONG-press the trim button on the control box for 6
seconds until both LEDs on the control box turn off and pulse back on.
Why does my VOLT not correct the horizon when I shoot at a Dutch angle?
Answer: The VOLT is designed to control the roll axis of the sled up to a ±25° roll angle, with reduced
power being applied to the Roll motor beyond ±5°.
What is the operating temperature range?
Answer: recommended operating temperature of the VOLT is between -10° and +60°C (14° to 140°F.)
NOTE: Lower operating temperatures may result in increasingly sluggish response times for the
VOLT, so it is a good idea to let the VOLT warm up for a few minutes before operating in cold
temperatures.
How much time does the Volt need to transition from high to low mode?
Answer: The normal response time for the VOLT to obtain a stable level when transitioning between
high and low modes is dependent on the operating temperature and a few other factors. This is normal
and should take the VOLT a maximum of 20-seconds or less to stabilize.
NOTE: Low TILT and ROLL strength settings may increase the time it takes the VOLT to obtain level as
more motor power equates to a faster response. In addition, a rig that is not neutrally balanced may take
longer to achieve level because the motors now need to work harder to move the sled.
Will I be able to update the VOLT myself in the future?
Answer: Software updates are currently limited to our worldwide dealer network and Steadicam repair
facilities. Please contact your nearest dealer for information on the latest updates.
