On a budget, I purchased this for my Warthog HOTAS. For 100$, color me impressed! I would give them 10 stars if I could. TONS of extra hardware for mounting your controllers (I mean ludicrous amount of extra hardware). NO missing screws at all for the main frame assembly. Easy to assemble. Heavy and Beefy + enough adjustment to get the job done for the average bear. I have a low setting reclining chair and it will work good enough with this stand...I do have plans however. Dont get me wrong, this thing is great as is, but I tinker with crap and I dont have a normal PC chair (which was my intent from the onset). Planned MODS: 1. Add caster wheels, with brakes. 2. Add 4-5 Inches to the adjustable square tubing on the sides to widen things up even more to better suit my needs (I have wide pedals)... 3. Also, I prefer the stick between my legs (easy mod) as I don't need the keyboard in the center. Guys, if you like to tinker or customize things--boy oh boy, this is a great head start with out killing the wallet. I think the model I looked at that had the things I REALLY wanted, minus the seat was in the 350-500$ range. So ya, this is a good buy. 10 stars! Really +10 stars. Read more
Like the title says, full price. But I didn't have to so there's that. I love flight simming. I can't legally fly solo anymore due to medical concerns. This rig fit my Turtle Beach Flight Deck setup, and has a ton of mounting holes. Adjustability is great for the outboard flight controls. The center column for a steering wheel I guess, is getting removed; I keep hitting my knees on it and I just don't use it since I switched from yoke to side-stick. The rudder pedal mount is solid, and a bit of a pain to tighten, but I ain't complaining about that since flight sim controls cost a bit. My only gripes are that it does take up quite a bit of room under a desk, and it has some weight when it is fully assembled. And also that the bar to hold the chair wheel in place needs to be a bit easier to manage with that bar between your knees, flight controls beside you, and any other peripherals. Thing is made of solid materials, has really good directions in English, and has most of the tools you need to assemble it. Use your own though, the included tools are on the flimsy and hard to manage side if you have manual dexterity problems. Oh, yeah. If you are able to, setting it up separately helps manage protecting your investment. I have everything under a picnic table now, and can just extend the hand controls out from under the table using the chair holder part. There's pics with my review showing it setup and stowed under a side table from a previous setup experiment. Hope this helps, this rig is clunky, but super solid. Read more
Solid and heavy, came with a lot of additional screws, washers and nuts. Assembling will take quite some time, especially to make it fit to your yoke and flight system. ( In our case the Saitek yoke, throttle and pedals) Looks very sturdy as well. Read more
Arrived quickly and was really easy to put together. All the parts and hardware were included. I didn't expect it but they included mounting hardware for HOTAS/etc so instead of having to run to the store and buy bolts for my set up I was able to quickly mount everything as soon as it was assembled. I did remove the center post as I don't use it but it's there if and when I want a different set up. I do wish there was a built-in way to stow it but with some wriggling it slides in underneath the pedal plate just fine and I can just sit it to the side when I'm using the mount itself. I'm not the brightest apparently because I sat for a good few hours trying to figure out the most space saving way to collapse it for under my desk before I remembered that the mounting plates are on square tubing that can be pulled out and rotated so they sit mostly over the pedals. It's still a little too wide to really be completely out of the way so if you have a narrow desk or limited space like me just be aware. Overall seems to be of good build quality and it's definitely got some heft to it when assembled. One other note for something I'd like to see is a quick adjusting bolt set up for the pedal brackets so you don't have to reach under and hold a nut anytime you need to slide them out further. So far so good and I'd buy it again in a heart beat. Read more
Easy enough to put together, mostly sturdy. Still get some joystick wobble no matter how much I tighten, but its not super noticeable. Biggest complaint is that the side attachments where the joysticks go are much too short for a standard office chair / gaming chair. I've lowered my chair as low as it will go, and i still had to put the stand on some wood blocks to raise it up several inches. Joysticks should be level with your arm when its resting on the armrest, not having to reach down to get them. Otherwise youd be engaging your shoulder muscles the entire time you're playing and that gets old fast. This could be solved by simply making the bars for the left and right attachments a bit longer. Second complaint is that there are no pre-drilled holes to lock these arms into place, theyre only held in place by a bolt with a handle on it that pushes into the bar, holding it in place with friction. The middle bar is useful to hold a keyboard which is nice, provided you have a way to attach it (i used some heavy duty velcro). It would be nice if the middle bar could come a bit closer to you tho, so that i could use my joysticks and not have to lean forward to type. Overall its not a bad setup, if you tighten everything its sturdy enough to get the job done. There isn't a lot of options for something in this price range, especially if you want something that is freestanding and doesn't clamp to the desk. It's a step up from the arm-chair mounts that I was using before, those wobbled way more than this for sure. Read more
