What the thread found

• Grinding down an Artemis 1.8" post to fit a Volt-compatible post is not feasible because it would significantly weaken the structural integrity, as the Volt post design differs fundamentally from the standard 1.8" post design.
• The MK-V gimbal is compatible with the Arri 1.8" post and supports the Volt system.
• A Betz-tools gimbal can potentially be adapted to an Artemis 1.8" post using appropriate shims, though Betz does not officially support or promote this solution.
• Alternative gimbal options like Betz-tools with Volt capability exist but typically require additional spacers or shims for compatibility with non-standard post sizes.

Depends on

• The Betz-tools gimbal compatibility approach requires custom shims that are not officially supplied or endorsed by the manufacturer.
• Pricing information for some alternatives is outdated (several years old at the time of discussion).
• Limited real-world experience reported with some solutions like the MK-V gimbal.
