Steadicam Volt - EVERYTHING You Need to Know

This video is most everything I know about the Tiffen Steadicam Volt and some fun along the way. It includes demonstrations comparing it to a steadicam without the Volt. How to set up your rig for it to work correctly. How to remove the belts for practicing. Tips on the dock and demonstrations on what all the controls do. shown on My Tiffen Steadicam M1 with my G70-x arm and the exovest. Hopefully interesting to other steadicam operators, people interested in camera work and filmmaking and other gimbals and stabilisers.

Take a look at all of my gear

This video has nothing to do with Tiffen everything I talk about is my opinion

Almost definitely the most in-depth video on the volt online. Brilliant stuff, yet again!

steve wagner here - co-inventor of the volt with garrett- look me up on the patents for it; the small plastic one although not a big consumer hit is not as trivial of a toy as you showed by dropping it on the ground. put a decent phone on and shoot steadicam style you will be surprised by the footage. The big Volt is a surprise in how many purists of the pendulum still appreciate it when it helps make the DP happy, all that matters. Thanks for your instructive series, love when more kids and older kids pick up the craft

I work with the Volt every day at work, and this video still helps like crazy! Some days I wonder if I’m doing things correctly and then come back to this video and sure enough, I am! Even when it feels like I’m not 😂

I’ve never laughed so hard at a film related video. This was gold bro. Loved every second of it.

Dude, so sick. And as always, tons of great info! Lol the sound guy with the timcodebox is too real (and I noticed cleaner audio this time around)

So best steadicam monitor for the next video? (Or why everyone uses transvid?) 😬😬😬

[danielmimura]

Woah...that belt test. That's crazy.

[asnavaro]

Yay!! Super stoked! I commented several times on your fb page about this but never thought you would make this video.

Looking forward to it!!

Your videos get more and more entertaining every upload. I love it

Thanks for the Volt intro. I don't own one, but I keep running into Volt setups lately when I step in for other ops, so this was educational, especially the bit about removing the belts to get rid of servo drag. Didn't realize it was that easy.

Wonderful Red! I love how precise you are with the visual details. Will definitely recommend to our students. Thanks a lot for helping the community!

[AdamKuzniar]

I have zero interest in buying this but your video was so enjoyable I watched it whole. Great job man!

[topwaterfilms]

Great video Red! You reminded me of some stuff I have forgotten, being my rig doesn't have the Volt. Love the silliness too!

[yueshen]

I may never buy this for myself but i love this video.

[BehindTheCameraBTS]

Hey love all your videos. Hope to see some videos on what's your approach on dynamically balancing different setups

[MaxKissler]

Was about to ask a dumb question on one of your other videos but this one explains it. Thanks mate!

Rode Wireless Go: Spotted. Love that little mic

[MatthewCarmody]

Had fun watching this educational and entertaining breakdown. Thank you.

[Bruno_Saucedo]

Yooo I thought it was a commercial for a second when you cut to the Kevlar belt bit😂 awesome!

[anthonysinfield]

I'm never going to use one, but it was interesting to see what it's about.

[iforssberg]

I echo what's already been said below... a brilliant video! Thanks!
