What the thread found

• Operators rated the MK-V 2-inch gimbal combined with Tiffen Volt as very effective and compatible with XCS 2-inch posts.
• The combination costs less than purchasing a new post and Volt separately.
• One operator noted delivery was approximately three months later than promised, and supplied cables did not match the order.
• An alternative leveling solution is MK-V's 'The Level' leveling system, which one operator suggested might make the Volt unnecessary.

Depends on

• The choice between Volt and MK-V The Level remains contested; no consensus on which leveling approach is superior for all use cases.
