In the box

Congratulations on your new Steadicam®Volt™

stabilizer, an evolution of 40 years of Hollywood lm-

making in the palm of your hand! By simulating the

inertia found in professional Steadicam®rigs, this

stabilizer gives you real tactile feedback, allowing

moves that cannot be achieved by handheld operation

or with other stabilizers.

Download the Tiffen Imagemaker™App from your phone’s app

store to expand your camera’s video recording functionality.

Get started Setup

Remove the batteries from the stabilizer and charge batteries

completely before using. To charge, insert the batteries into

battery charger and connect to USB power.

Do not leave batteries charging unattended.

• Red LED: indicates charging in progress.

• Blue LED: indicates charging complete. Unfold the

Proper balancing is essential for Steadicam®Volt™to

stabilize your phone. Depending upon the weight of your

device, the stabilizer may need from 0 to 7 balance weights

on the base. Use as few weights as possible.

Center your

phone in the

spring-loaded

phone mount,

and make

sure it’s held

securely.

Next, check top-to-bottom balance. Hold stabilizer horizontal,

supporting most of the weight by the gimbal handle.

Dial the internal

base weight to

position #1.

Note: the stabilizer must have batteries installed, but remain

powered OFF during the balance procedure.

Small phones may require the use of a phone case or button

clearance pad to ensure a secure t.

BalancingBalancing

OR

x

Lighten your

grip on the

base, and if the

base rises up

out of hand,

the base is too

light for your

device.

If you lighten

your grip on

the base and

the base drops

down, the

base is too

heavy for your

device.

If the base is too

light, thread in the

starter weight and

re-test.

Still too light? Add

balance weights

until the base does

not rise up.

If the base is too

heavy, remove one

balance weight at

a time and re-test.

Remove weights

until the base rises

out of hand, then

add ONE weight

back on.

Remember to keep the power OFF while balancing!

The

If it rolls

next.

Then level it side-to-side

by sliding your phone in the

mount. Make sure the phone

is still secure!

Hold stabilizer upright by

the gimbal handle and

level the stabilizer fore-aft

by turning the adjuster

knob as needed.

Balancing

Visit tiffen.com

for how-to videos and further instructions on

balancing Steadicam®Volt™.

|When Steadicam®Volt™is balanced and you’re ready to roll

camera, slide the power switch to ON. Note: the gimbal

handle will spin if not held.

For optimal

performance,

repeat balance

steps 5, 6 and 7

until Steadicam®

Volt™balances

in all axes.

LED’s and ModesThe Grip

Two presses of the mode button engages Movie Mode, one

press returns to default Sport Mode.

• Sport Mode: motors have maximum inuence.

• Movie Mode: gives experienced operators additional

control.

• Blue LED: Indicates Volt is powered on.

Blue LED ashes when batteries are low.

• Green LED: Indicates Movie Mode (see below.)

Visit

tiffen.com

for additional operating tips.

Use two hands and start lming! The gimbal grip supports

controls pan and tilt of the camera. Practice makes perfect.
