Compatibility between M1 gimbal and GPI Pro sled post
What the thread found
- The M1 gimbal has a larger post diameter than the GPI Pro gimbal by approximately 1.5 inches, making them incompatible without modification.
- A spacer could theoretically be used to adapt an M1 gimbal to a GPI Pro post, but the required spacer thickness would be very small (around 0.06 inches), raising concerns about stability and slippage.
- GPI Pro gimbals can be fitted to an M1 Volt sled as an alternative solution.
- The manufacturer was expected to offer adapter solutions at NAB (a major industry trade show).
Depends on
- No confirmed adapter product was mentioned as existing at the time of discussion.
- The spacer approach was presented as theoretical and untested, with concerns about its reliability.
- The discussion does not specify exact measurements or confirm whether any adapter was actually released after NAB.
