What the thread found

• A manufacturer adapted a Volt gimbal to fit a 50mm gimbal, which measures approximately 1.969 inches
• XCS produces a 1.75 inch wound carbon fiber post compatible with the Volt M2 gimbal, available with XCS or PRO connectors
• A wound carbon fiber post at 1.75 inches can provide significant rigidity compared to aluminum alternatives despite being smaller than the original 2 inch specification
• Post stiffness depends on outer diameter, inner diameter, and material composition, with carbon fiber posts varying in stiffness characteristics even when external dimensions match

Depends on

• The 1.75 inch post represents a compromise from the original 2 inch design
• No confirmation that a true 2 inch Volt gimbal adapter has been completed as of the discussion date
• Exact stiffness specifications for the 1.75 inch post are not provided in the discussion
