What the thread found

• High-speed mechanical jitter can appear in recorded footage when using a Volt Gimbal on a Pro Sled with the Volt Control box mounted on the diving board
• The issue can occur regardless of whether Volt control knobs are kept below 50% or set higher
• Replacing the standard Pro diving board mount with an aftermarket bracket that adds rod support eliminates the jitter problem
• The aftermarket bracket solution is reported as highly reliable and effective

Depends on

• The root cause of the vibration remains unclear
• Only one solution is confirmed working in this thread
• The issue may be specific to certain Pro Sled units or configurations
• High control knob settings were initially suspected as a factor but were ruled out by at least one user
