Combine a 3-axis electronic gyroscopic stabilizer with a classic handheld platform and add a smartphone and GoPro clips, and you get the Steadicam Volt. With the combination of an inertia-based stabilization device and an electronic gyroscope with haptic feedback, the Volt is a platform that is easy to balance while providing natural camera motion akin to larger and heavier stabilization platforms. The arced balancing design folds down for easy transport.

The Volt is powered with two included rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, and since these batteries only operate the gyroscope, a properly balanced Volt can still operate manually after the batteries drain. While the electronics are operating, you can use the app to configure the gyroscopic operation for tuning in one of two ways. Sport mode is enabled by default and employs inertia in panning movements. Movie mode employs inertia in both pan and tilt movements for more traditional Steadicam-style shooting. A charger, USB charging cable, balance weights, and a carry pouch are included.
