What the thread found

• The M1 Gimbal designed for PRO systems includes an adapter sleeve to fit 1.5 inch center posts and can work with PRO arm posts
• Low-mode bracket holes on some PRO setups were positioned 90 degrees offset from PRO arm post holes, requiring drilling adjustment by a machinist
• The M1 Volt gimbal was successfully installed on an MKV sled by replacing the original gimbal
• Switching between standard and low mode on the Volt gimbal takes approximately one minute
• An experienced camera operator found the Volt gimbal delivered stable results after an initial learning period with the system controls

Depends on

• Only the GPI PRO gimbal is confirmed as adaptable to the Volt among non-Tiffen gimbals
• Custom modifications like shortened gimbal handles would require independent machinist work as manufacturer engineers prioritize other projects
• The hole positioning issue was noted as fixed in later versions
• Experience comes from use on a specific television production with particular shooting requirements
