ARRI Trinity 2 SUP 3.0.10 firmware issues: motor startup delay, tilt axis vibration, and overcurrent shutdowns during operation.
Note (as of October 2026)Curt O. Schaller, the developer of Artemis and Trinity, has no longer been with ARRI since the end of 2025. To our knowledge, ARRI currently has no dedicated team and no official contact persons for its stabilizer systems. In our view, the future of this line is uncertain. If you are buying new, get written confirmation from ARRI beforehand on how long service and spare parts are guaranteed. Have used rigs checked by the manufacturer before you buy.
What the thread found
- ARRI Trinity 2 SUP firmware update 3.0.10 introduced motor startup failures where motors take approximately 15 seconds to engage and frequently fail to start on first attempt, requiring repeated power cycles.
- Multiple operators report tilt axis vibration and shaking when motors initialize, when programming tilt movements, and when returning to home position after stopping.
- Firmware 3.0.10 causes the rig to shut down immediately if cables or counterweights become stuck during roll axis operation, creating safety and workflow disruptions on set.
- One operator experienced roll belt tangling and persistent overcurrent errors in the roll axis after the 3.0.10 update, with only tilt axis functioning.
- Version 1.5 SUP did not exhibit these problems, and operators report that rolling back to the previous firmware version resolves the issues.
- Troubleshooting suggestions included resetting PID parameters and reducing motor strength for tilt, but these did not resolve the problems for affected operators.
- One operator's rig required factory service including roll belt replacement and mechanical modification to prevent belt slippage.
Depends on
- Affects ARRI Trinity 2 SUP running firmware version 3.0.10.
- Issues occur regardless of camera payload size.
- Problems resolve when reverting to firmware version 1.5 SUP.
