Artemis in the catalogSpecs and owners
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.

Artemis is a sled you can set up in many ways, so match the parts to your rig: put a 12V or 24V plate behind the matching camera cable, and run your monitor from a 12V source 1. Pick the right post for your gimbal, since the standard Artemis post is 1.8 inch and the Volt needs its own post 171215. Check your monitor bracket's build year before you buy a yoke, and know that a Trinity 1 bottom stage under an Artemis 1 top stage takes you lower for low mode 3539.

The questions 8

How do I power my camera and accessories from an Artemis sled?12 threads · latest 2026

In short

Match the battery plate voltage to your camera cable: 12V cable from a 12V source, 24V cable from a 24V plate 1. Run monitor and accessories from a 12V source, either a second plate or a P-TAP off a 24V B-Mount 1.

How the pros do it

  1. Check your camera cable voltage first, because BMS battery bricks lack the voltage converter normally included on Artemis 2 1. The plates have to supply the voltage each device needs 1.
  2. With a 12V camera cable, one 12V source (V-Mount, Gold Mount or 12V B-Mount plate) can power camera, monitor and accessories through the BMS bricks 1.
  3. With a 24V camera cable, use two plates: a 24V one (Gold Mount 26V or B-Mount 24V) for the camera and a 12V one for monitor and accessories 1. Or use a single 24V B-Mount plate with a P-TAP to LEMO cable from ARRI to feed both 1.
  4. On an Artemis 2 Live, the 12V/24V power block takes two battery mounts of different voltages, or one B-Mount battery with 24V output 2. The top-stage connectors (Lemo 2P, RS 3-pin, L-bus) get power only through that block 2.
  5. For big cameras on Trinity 2 / Artemis 2, three 12V batteries or BeBob 24V batteries (20 A per unit) gave enough current, while two Gold Mount batteries kept causing shutdowns 3. Operators fix dropouts by adding a B-Mount battery as a second supply 3.
  6. If a Gen 1 sled shows 24V on the XLR but the Venice2 won't start, don't trust the voltage reading alone 4. Check voltage drop at the connector, cable gauge, battery discharge rate and converter capacity 4.
Caution

Verify polarity with a meter before connecting anything, because some Artemis units (original Sachtler versus ARRI-built) have reversed pinouts 7. One operator destroyed a monitor by connecting with the wrong polarity 7.

Opinions differ here

Operators don't agree on what causes the cutouts with big cameras: one calculated about 6 A steady draw, while others saw spikes into the high teens of amperes from the Trinity motors 3. They also haven't settled the fix for sled-battery voltage loss, with 24V mode using two batteries in series, a step-up converter and a camera-mounted battery all on the table 6.

What changed

Earlier, in 2011, the 4-pin XLR supplied with the sled was wired for 12V only and couldn't carry 24V 5, today, in 2025 and 2026, Artemis 2 power blocks and BMS plates give you 12V and 24V from B-Mount batteries 21.

Should I buy an Artemis or another sled or arm?10 threads · latest 2026

In short

Most operators say buy a used professional rig, such as an Artemis-1 on a used arm, over a budget sled like the Rever EVO 89. Artemis 2 only justifies itself if you plan to move to Trinity 2 later 8.

How the pros do it

  1. Spend on the arm and vest first, because they are long-term investments and the sled can be exchanged later 89.
  2. Match the arm to your camera: the Atlas is built for packages under 45 lb, and one operator moved to a Titan for Alexa with Cooke lenses and extra gear 10.
  3. Look at used pro rigs: complete Ultra-2 kits go for around 14,500 USD and full EFP rigs for around 8,000 USD 9. Most operators recommend a used Artemis-1 with a used Flowcine X-Arm over a Rever-Evo setup, citing resale value, payload, build quality and service access 8.
  4. Choose Artemis 2 only if Trinity is in your plans, since it is designed for conversion to Trinity 2 11. It brings better power distribution and heavier construction but no better images 8.
  5. If you want a Volt on a first-generation Artemis, use the Artemis post made for the Volt instead of the standard 1.8 post 12. A modular 1.5-inch MK-V sled can also take a Volt later 9.
  6. If you buy a Sachtler-era Artemis, change the springs every three to four years 10.
Caution

Several operators cite a risk of component failure on the Rever sled 8. One user reported fasteners and connections loosening, which needed grease and threadlock compound 9.

Opinions differ here

Most operators advise against the Rever EVO and similar budget brands, citing cast parts and poorly sealed bearings 9. One academic user of the Rever predecessor found it adequate for the price 9. Operators also split on weight: some find Artemis 2 lighter than Tiffen sleds, others doubt it compared to an M2 14.

What changed

Earlier, in 2004, the Artemis was a Sachtler rig whose docking bracket sat low and needed a post 3-4 inches longer than a PRO 13, today, in 2022 to 2026, it is an ARRI line where Artemis 2 is built for conversion to Trinity 2 118.

Can I use a Volt gimbal on my Artemis sled?10 threads · latest 2025

In short

Yes, but you need the Artemis post made for Volt, not the standard 1.8 post 1215. Volt 3 won't get an Artemis-compatible version 16.

How the pros do it

  1. Get the Volt-compatible Artemis post from Arri 1512.
  2. Don't grind your 1.8 post down to fit, because it would significantly weaken the structure 17.
  3. Check the post with calipers before you buy anything 18. The Artemis post is 1.740 inch and the M2 Volt gimbal comes in 1.750 inch, a 0.010 inch gap 18.
  4. If you stay on the standard 1.8 Artemis post, the MK-V gimbal fits it and supports Volt 1917. A Betz-tools gimbal can be adapted with shims, but Betz doesn't officially support that 17.
  5. Mount the Volt control box rigidly 20. The factory ARRI SSB-3 bracket is too compliant at full motor load, so use a 15 mm ARRI clamp on the top or bottom stage or Cam-Jam 15 mm rods on the Artemis 2 top stage 20. Another option is the Top Stage rod holder with two steel rods 14.
  6. Arri and Tiffen docking brackets both work, so pick the one you like 12. On small rigs the short Volt rod is heavier and harder to balance neutrally, so weight toward the camera 14. Clean and lubricate new gimbal bearings before use 14.
Caution

Don't grind down a standard Artemis 1.8 post to make it Volt-compatible, because that significantly weakens it 17.

Opinions differ here

One 2022 report says a Volt head on an Artemis sled can feel unreliable and inconsistent even when it fits, and recommends the M2 gimbal to avoid the issue 15. A 2025 operator reports running Artemis 2 and Artemis 1 with Volt for several years and calls it smooth and worth the money 19.

What changed

Earlier in 2021 the 1.740 inch Artemis post didn't match the 1.750 inch Volt gimbal and Arri had made no specific Volt adaptation 18, today in 2024 you use the Artemis post designed for Volt instead of the standard 1.8 post 12.

How do I balance a heavy cinema camera on Artemis?8 threads · latest 2026

In short

Add weight on the camera side through battery placement or a weight cage, and size the arm and rig to the load 2110. With Cooke anamorphics and two focus motors, put the weights forward and under the lens instead of at the rear 22.

How the pros do it

  1. The Atlas arm suits packages under 45 lbs 10, and the operator moved to a Titan arm for Alexa cameras with Cooke lenses and extra support gear 10.
  2. A 5-15 kg stabilizer is unsuitable for an Arri Alexa Classic, which needs a larger professional rig from Tiffen or GPI-Pro 23.
  3. Battery placement or a weight cage improves gimbal balance and panning smoothness, especially on a camera loaded with recorder, V-lock battery, focus-and-zoom control and matte box 21.
  4. Cooke anamorphic lenses normally need counterweight at the rear of the camera 22. If you run two focus motors, rear weight may not work, because extending the SAM-2 sliding plate rearward makes the rig too long and puts the balance ring too high 22.
  5. In that case, mount the weights forward and beneath the lens 22. This clears the front, lets the balance ring sit lower in its travel, and leaves room above the gimbal head for switching between High and Low 22.
  6. On a Trinity 2 with an A35 or Venice, power the rig with three 12 V batteries or BeBob 24 V batteries (20 A per unit), because two Gold Mount batteries caused intermittent shutdowns 3. Operators also add a B-Mount battery as a second supply to cure the dropouts 3.

My Artemis gimbal vibrates, drifts or feels stiff - what's wrong?8 threads · latest 2025

In short

Usually it's setup or hardware, not one fault: loose parts, flexy mounts or a loose post clamp cause vibration 24252620, and new gimbals can have stiff pan friction 2728. Drift shows up mainly as a Trinity 2 issue 29.

How the pros do it

  1. Tighten everything on the sled first: battery brackets, lens and every component, then fine-tune the adjustment screws on the top stage 24.
  2. Check the post clamp, because a loose clamp lets the post play during hard whip pans and shears the three nylon-tip screws under the fine-trim collar dust cap 26. Carry spare screws from the manufacturer, since hardware-store ones don't work 26.
  3. Stiffen the mounts: use stainless steel rods for battery mounts, keep batteries and RCP close to the sled, and tension the payload tightly in the cage 25. On Trinity 1, a post extension and the lowest workable PID helped against telescopic post flex 25.
  4. If the Volt box shakes at full motor power, the factory SSB-3 bracket is too compliant on Artemis 1 and 2 20. Operators fixed it with Cam-Jam 15 mm rods plus an ARRI 15 mm adapter on the Artemis 2 top stage, or a 15 mm ARRI clamp straight on the stage 20.
  5. If the sled tilts after a 180-degree rotation, check your measurement gauge first, since a misaligned one gives apparent torsion 30. When you send a gimbal in, include the center post or preferably the whole rig 30.
  6. For drift on straight shots with Trinity 2, set it up like Steadicam®: lower camera on the rods, dial in drop time, lock the gimbal tilt, and fly High or Low mode 29. Use arm swings to start booms so the guide hand doesn't add pan impulses 29.
Caution

ARRI warns that owner cleaning, lubrication or modification risks permanent accuracy damage and chemical reactions with the bearing surfaces 28. Ultrafine sand or salt water irreversibly damage the bearings, which then need replacement and recalibration by authorized technicians 28.

Opinions differ here

On stiffness, ARRI advises against owner cleaning or lubrication 28, while one operator reports stripping the friction pan and re-lubricating it with a single drop of ARRI oil 27. On centering, the manufacturer counts 'within the black lines of the bubble level' as in spec and some operators accept deviation at a fall time of 3 seconds or longer 30, but others say finer shims give much tighter centering 30. On Trinity 2 vibration, owners say it is a design issue the service partner could not remove by PID alone 25, while setup changes and service (tilt encoder, roll belt) reduced it 25.

What center post sizes and lengths work with Artemis?8 threads · latest 2025

In short

The standard Artemis post is 1.8 inch 17. For the Volt gimbal, ARRI makes a 1.74 inch post, including a short Artemis 2 Carbon version 3132.

How the pros do it

  1. Run the 1.8 inch Artemis post with a gimbal that fits it, like the MK-V, which supports the Volt system on the Arri 1.8 inch post 17.
  2. For a Volt gimbal, use the 1.74 inch post, which the ARRI catalog describes as specially manufactured for the Volt 31.
  3. If you want it shorter on Artemis 2, ARRI offers a short Artemis 2 Carbon center post in 1.74 inches, made for Tiffen Volt compatibility 32.
  4. If you need room below the sled to find the center of gravity, the XCS Post for Artemis 2 gives more clearance 32.
  5. If you want a Betz-tools gimbal on the 1.8 inch post, it can potentially be adapted with shims, but Betz does not officially support that 17.
  6. Check monitor rod spacing before you pick a diameter, because 1.75 inch posts need wider 100mm rod centers that limit accessory compatibility 33.
Caution

Don't grind down an Artemis 1.8 inch post to fit the Volt, because it would significantly weaken the structure 17.

Opinions differ here

ARRI's catalog calls it specially manufactured for the Volt and says about 0.03 inches of cosmetic outer carbon layer is removed 31. One operator noted that removing that layer has no measurable effect on stiffness, yet several operators say the Volt post feels noticeably different in use 31. No independent measurements settle it 31.

What changed

Earlier, in 2015, a short centerpost on the Artemis MINI was a trade-show proof of concept with unclear production status 34, today, in 2024, ARRI lists a short Artemis 2 Carbon center post in 1.74 inches 32.

Which monitor bracket or yoke fits my Artemis sled?7 threads · latest 2025

In short

It depends on your Artemis generation and bracket build year 35. The SM7 yoke fits only brackets made after 2022, and older brackets need a retrofit kit 35.

How the pros do it

  1. Check when your monitor bracket was made, because Artemis rigs changed the width of the yoke rods between generations 35.
  2. The SM7 yoke (K2.0051225) works only with brackets manufactured after 2022 35.
  3. If your bracket is older, ask about the retrofit kit that adapts pre-2022 brackets to the wider yoke rod distance 35. Gen 2 brackets measure about 10.5 cm between the centres of the yoke rods 35.
  4. For low mode on Artemis 1 or 2, a low mode monitor mount on 15mm rods is described as stable and vibration-free 36.
  5. To go lighter and more coplanar, one operator drilled extra threaded holes in an Optical Support Monitor-Yoke 3 and mounted it straight to the ARRI 19 mm quick-release accessory bracket 37.
  6. The ARRI CSS clamping bridge 19 mm also works as a quick-release monitor bracket in Steadicam® mode 38. Operators call it expensive, with lead times around three weeks when one asked 38.

What changed

Earlier, in 2021, a 15mm-rod low mode mount was described as fitting both Artemis 1 and Artemis 2 36, today, in 2025, yoke rod width differs between generations and the SM7 yoke needs a bracket made after 2022 35.

Can I mix Artemis and Trinity stages for low-mode operation?5 threads · latest 2025

In short

Yes. A Trinity 1 bottom stage with an Artemis 1 top stage takes you lower than Trinity's ring configuration 39. The reverse pairing works too 39.

How the pros do it

  1. Pair a Trinity 1 bottom stage with an Artemis 1 top stage to get below Trinity's ring configuration 39.
  2. Or put an Artemis 1 cinema broadcast bottom stage under a Trinity 1 top stage, which gives a hybrid that performs differently 39. It also lowers overall rig weight 39.
  3. The Artemis 1 bottom stage removes the power connection cables you need between Trinity 1 bottom and top stages 39. Check that you own or can rent the extra Artemis 1 top stage first 39.
  4. If you're converting to Artemis 2, two Trinity 2 top stages can replace buying a bottom stage, since the stages are interchangeable 40. Participants were only moderately certain about this, and it rests on operator preference, not manufacturer specs 40.
  5. For the low-mode monitor, a mount on 15mm rods fits Artemis 1 and Artemis 2 36. The SSB-3 side bracket can also hold a low-mode monitor, for example a SmallHD Starlite on a 3D-printed adapter 41.
Caution

A camera plate and Wave can slip off the Artemis top stage when you carry the sled nearly horizontal, if the safety pin slot sits on the same side as the quick-release coupling 42. A safety pin protruding only 1-2 mm no longer secures the plate, so press it fully in by hand 42.
