Volt stabilizer sled rolling over after calibration on goofy foot setup

What the thread found

  • When a Volt stabilizer causes the sled to roll over after successful calibration on a goofy foot setup, the gimbal handle orientation at power-up may be incorrect - it should be positioned in line with the front of the camera rather than the rear for goofy configurations.
  • Pressing the internal FLIP button on the Volt, as described on page 37 of the Volt manual, can resolve sled rollover issues when the device is mounted on the right side.

Depends on

  • The issue occurred on a specific goofy foot setup with a MK-V Genesis 1.5 inch board.
  • The exact circumstances determining whether gimbal orientation or the FLIP button is the primary cause remain unclear from the discussion.
