What the thread found

• The TIFFEN Volt brain can be mounted to the top stage using 15mm rod mounts and steel rods as recommended by ARRI.
• Mounting the Volt brain on rods reduces vibrations compared to other configurations.
• A low-mode monitor can be mounted on the same rod system supporting the Volt brain.
• The ARRI mount for the Volt brain is susceptible to flex during faster movements, which causes vibrations in the gimbal motors.
• The CamJam mount provides greater rigidity than ARRI mounts for supporting the Volt brain and monitor together.

Depends on

• Experience varies by individual operator and rig configuration.
