What the thread found

• The M2-Volt gimbal fits sleds using a 1.5-inch post collar, compatible with PRO, M1 and M2 sled models.
• On the M2 sled, the Volt control box is integrated into the sled structure; a PRO sled requires an external control box.
• The M2 sled features an integrated top stage, while Tiffen top stages designed for PRO-series posts do not interface with a PRO sled post due to wiring and mechanical incompatibility.
• Operators report confusion over the differences between M1 and M2 sled designs and their respective Volt versions (V1 and V2), with the manufacturer providing insufficient documentation to distinguish these variants.

Depends on

• Compatibility depends on which sled model (PRO, M1, or M2) and which Volt control box version (integrated or external) is available.
• Integration of top stage and internal wiring differs between sled generations and Volt versions.
