The four dials on the top stage allow you to customize the strength of the Volt motors in all three axes (pan,
tilt and roll) independently. Additionally, the Damping dial controls how the system returns the sled to
vertical. Here is a guide to the four knobs primary (Menu-1) functions.
The PAN dial (A) controls the
strength of the pan assist motor.
Start with low assist and add
strength as needed.

the inertia and drag aspects of the
pan motor as described later.
The TILT dial (B) controls the
strength of the motors along the
tilt axis. This alters behavior in the
two modes:
• In normal mode, more Tilt
strength equates to stronger
articialbottom-heaviness.
• In friction mode, more Tilt

The ROLL dial (C) controls the
strength of the motors along the
roll axis. Start with low assist and
add strength as needed.
This setting helps maintain horizon
no matter the tilt trim, tilt mode or
orientation of the sled.
The DAMPING dial (D) works like helpful friction to prevent the sled from
swinging as the rig returns to a trimmed state.
• Your operating hand performs most of the damping in normal operating,
therefore very little Damping is necessary most of the time.
• Damping is affecting all three axes at once, but is most noticeable when
making large tilt moves, like quickly returning the post to vertical.
• Damping becomes less effective with increased motor strength settings;
adjust in proportion to your Tilt strength.
TIP: Use higher motor strength for heavier rigs and rigs with more inertia, like long mode. Less strength is
needed for lighter or tighter builds.
