The brand new Steadicam Volt-3 expertise that includes electronically assisted stabilizer for Roll, Tilt & Pan, delivers an intuitive, ultra-precise really feel prepared to boost each transfer a Steadicam operator makes.
The Tiffen Steadicam Volt has been acknowledged with an Academy Award and Emmy for revolutionizing inertial stabilization. With this subsequent era expertise, operators can obtain larger high quality digital camera motion, with quicker arrange occasions, better vary of motion, and a number of different benefits over earlier digital gimbal techniques.
The brand new development in Steadicam Volt expertise introduced by Tiffen, Volt-3, presents three axes of fully-adjustable stabilization—ROLL, TILT, and now PAN for Steadicam M2 and M1 Sleds. With its superior new pan axis management with simulated inertia and drag, the VOLT 3 delivers an intuitive, ultra-precise really feel prepared to boost each transfer a Steadicam operator makes.
The in depth checklist of options begins with Instantaneous On. Volt-3 start-up is integral to the system no matter gimbal place. Subsequent, Tiffen says, “the Stage Calibration function retains the sled in impartial stability when stopping and cornering. Then it’s no compromise working. Horizons are stage or if the shot requires an unconventional “stage” the system can maintain unbiased horizons for prime or low modes. Volt-3’s Pan, Tilt, Roll Damping, Inertia, and Dynamic Braking reply to operator management of the picture below various working circumstances. Stress-free sticky mode is accessible within the Tilt axis. And if desired, the press of a button re-activates standard operation.”
Weighing simply 6-lbs/2.7kg, Volt-3 is accessible for M2 and M1 Sleds. It seamlessly integrates into the conventional gimbal place, with out added top to the stage or base, and is suitable with 1.58″ and 1.75” Posts.
Tiffen provides that “operators acquainted with the unique Volt, will probably be within the new management middle, or “Pot Field” which Volt-3 provides to the Stage. With 4 consumer selectable dials, it controls Pan, Tilt, Roll, and Damping power. Moreover there may be one push-button for pausing the Volt, whereas one other one prompts a submenu for custom-made settings. Three LED indictors and a digital readout provide menu and exact system suggestions. Importantly, through the use of the sub-menu, operators achieve new management of pan inertia and pan drag—dramatically altering the Sled’s conduct to swimsuit any shot requirement. Extra management is shut at hand through two gimbal-mounted switchable buttons which entry Sticky/Regular and presets”.
This patented 3-axis motorized help integrates seamlessly with new and present Steadicam M2 and M1 techniques. Volt-3 packages are at the moment being provided for brand new Steadicam M2 techniques, in addition to Volt Gimbal and Stage Upgrades for present M2 homeowners, and M1 Flat Stage and Tilt Stage homeowners.
