Excellent for Slow Dolly-Like Push-Ins and Pull-Outs

The VOLT 3 simulates the inertia of a heavily built payload or antlers— meaning push-ins and pull-outs feel smooth, weighted, and deliberate. It provides real tactile resistance to the operator AND the ability to remove that resistance with zero delay mid shot with presets, making slow, steady moves easier to control and more cinematic.

Benefit: Achieve fluid, dolly-style camera movement in tight spaces and dynamic environments, without the setup time or adding weight

Reduces Pan Wag During Extreme Tilt Movements

In traditional rigs, tilting the camera dramatically can introduce side-to-side “wag” as the pan axis wobbles. With the VOLT 3 engaged, the pan axis remains controlled and stable, even during aggressive tilt-ups or tilt-downs. The simulated drag helps the rig feel straight on its line, keeping motion clean and intentional.

Benefit: Maintain precise framing during complex vertical moves, ideal for architectural shots, character reveals, or dramatic perspective shifts.

Improved Operation in Wind and Challenging environments

One of the VOLT 3’s standout features is its active stabilization of the pan axis, which prevents the rig from unintentionally drifting due to wind or environmental forces. Unlike traditional setups where a gust can slightly turn the sled, the VOLT 3 adds resistance with electronic precision, letting the operator stay on target — even in unpredictable outdoor conditions while maintaining control.

Benefit: Keep your frame rock-solid and consistent in any weather, with no unwanted panning caused by the elements.

Smooth While Running with the Rig

High-speed moves — like following a subject at a run — push any stabilizer to its limits. But with the VOLT 3’s pan control and virtual inertia, the rig stays in the direction while absorbing motion, allowing the operator to run freely without fighting against sway or slop.

Benefit: Capture fast-moving action with sharp, steady tracking shots that retain the immersive feel of real movement.

Snappy, Accurate Whip Pans

The VOLT 3 provides controlled resistance making fast pans not just possible — but repeatable and sharp. The pan axis drag helps prevent over-rotation and softens stops for professional, stylized transitions.

Benefit: Add visual punch and energy to your shots with whip pans that feel instinctive and polished.
