@@Hav0k could you check your thumb picture, there is a 't' missing in monstertech.

Nice to see you could make it real after years of dreaming. Now you got a nice and strong Sim pit in your house. I wish i had more space in my room for that. I am very satisfied with my 3 desk mounts from Monstertech since 2019. They are indeed of very good quality.

[@vulcan4d]

Sorry honey, we have no space for a treadmill. Hold my beer while I open this MTS box.

[@Hav0k]

Hahahaha. What's funny is I considered getting an under the desk treadmill as well! Would definitely help give me some extra exercise when playing games lol

[@catsooey]

I love this! 😆

[@shadowr2d2]

Thank you for posting this video 🎥🍿🍺🇺🇸👍. You have a new subscriber 🎉. Keep up the great 👍 work. I don’t have a computer 🖥️ right now. But I have always loved space games. By the end of this year. I hope to have my own computer 🖥️. Right after that I will be getting my own. Flight slim tech equipment myself.

[@Hav0k]

Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for the sub! 🤙 If you need a list of recommended parts or a suggestion of what brand to go with, let me know! I'm always happy to help! o7

[@Furstaide]

Good jog lad. I’m tempted. Already used desk mounts and currently with chair mounts.

[@Hav0k]

I've heard nothing but great things from all of their products. Now I just need a chair lol

[@Zglavo]

I have two simple Monstertech desk mounts for my Thrustmasters joysticks (T16000 + Warthog) that I have improved with a fix pin and a hole in the desk, and the results are to notch. Very rigid and perfect height for 6DoFs Star Citizen flying.

[@Hav0k]

Nice! I love intelligent solutions like this. It's always great to see the community make things work even better for themselves

[@Bubblegum_Ronin]

Amazing setup and thanks for the info!

[@Hav0k]

Any time!

[@TheJack4000111]

I also have the MTS Rig - I'm rocking a 65 " OLD on it lol. You are right about the customer care of the Monster Tech Guys - Top Notch.

[@Hav0k]

Absolutely! I'd love to rock a 65 inch screen... but I'm having a hard time giving up the Ultrawide screen 😅

[@zman_o7]

You are one sick puppy! I love it but no way would I ever have a setup like that with the boss I am married to! o7 🤣👍

[@Hav0k]

LOL believe me it took 8 years for her to finally say yes. But it helped with all the hard work.

[@zman_o7]

@@Hav0k that came with a price I am sure honey do's for life! 🤣👍

100% 🤣

[@slaughtersteelgrave022]

So jealous - enjoy!

[@trevor6752]

Nice setup.The second setup looks like mine lol....Wish I could build a Sim rig just not a reality for me.

[@Hav0k]

Yeah I know what you mean. The Wooden setup I built actually ended up costing me north of like $300. My feelings were pretty mixed because it liked using it, but it cost more than what I wanted to spend. But desk mounts are always a great solution

[@Wh1terider]

Now all you need is a full motion foundation, that you can mount the MTS rig too. Happy Flying.

[@Hav0k]

This would be pretty insane tbh. So would a Pimax lol

[@Farrister]

Love it!

[@7jga777]

Was that the Polaris bridge in the beginning? Nice!

[@Hav0k]

Yes, it was! My favorite capital ship!

[@7jga777]

@@Hav0k mine too!

[@gigarott]

Yeah buddy I need this in my situation some day.. my arms get really uncomfortable after a 40 mins of flying

[@Hav0k]

It's absolutely one of the most comfortable setups I've used. My chair is the biggest issue because of how uncomfortable it is lol

[@gigarott]

@Hav0k yeah, gaming chairs look cool but comfort is not their strong suit unfortunately, I switched to ergonomic and it feels amazing

[@Hav0k]

Yeah for sure. Looking forward to see how MTs chairs are

[@gigarott]

@Hav0k at that price, I'm sure they are great

[@Tainted-Soul]

I looked and found it cost far to much for me. I did get their desk mounts and keyboard and mouse left and right mount too. then made / modified my old desk ( just used the top ) and purchase some aluminium the same that Monstertech use to frame out the desk top and legs so that the monstertech kit could bolt straight to it giving be a solid desk and set up. this is limited as my keyboard sits in between the 2 virpil sticks and the mouse pad on the right is a little to far right but I play FPS games like that without any problems. the left mouse pad is going to used for a tablet holder for GameGlass as I only fly Star Citizen lol my FPS game isn't competitive and only play for fun far too old for that stuff bf2042 is enough for me LOL. I will say I was well impressed by the packaging and how the Monstertech products come very well made and nice feel . even though the mouse mat is way to much just to fit the pad but it looks good LOL

[@Hav0k]

Yeah it took me a bit of time to save up for the the main pieces I wanted as well. The desk mounts I had were just some knock off brand. So I bet if I had bought Monstertechs it would have been a much better solution. All that matters is if your setup works for you then that's all that matters! They definitely have great products fora wide range of budgets. And they'll all definitely last for many years. More years than most desks you by if you ask me.

[@lynxara]

It looks like one hell of a piece to clean

[@Hav0k]

Nah not at all. It stays pretty clean to be honest

[@MrSolLeks]

Someday il do a setup like this. for now I'v got a good desk, virpil pedels under on a mat too keep it from sliding and arms clamping onto the desk with my virpil constalation hosas. Someday haha, as I need more room anyway.

[@Hav0k]

We all start somewhere! As long as it works for now!

[@rodrigofarruguia1708]

I see that you are using the ursa minor sticks, do you like them over the nxt ?

[@Hav0k]

They're solid. I'm finishing up a review on them right now. But I think I prefer the NXTs

[@BGIANAKy]

I have the monster tech gaming chair. I have my virpils attached to it but they’re kind of uncomfortable to teach. I’m 180lb and 5’10. Don’t think I’m too small for it but may the mounts aren’t too long?

[@Hav0k]

The monstertech chairs are really nice. Not sure about the chair mount though. Perhaps they need further adjustment? They should be pretty adjustable to make them easier to reach. I'd highly recommend getting on MT's discord and ask them how you can make them more comfortable to reach

[@BGIANAKy]

@@Hav0k oh. Thats actually a fantastic idea

[@thetattoodmini]

i have wanted to have a good flight sim setup ever since i got into SC years ago, but unfortunately, getting something like what you have is near impossible for me right now as the country i live in would tax me HEAVILY to order something like that. so DIY is in my future

[@Hav0k]

That's unfortunate. It honestly took me some time to save up for, but was very rewarding in the end.

[@mountainmonkey15]

I feel like I'd buy this, then my laziness would get the better of me and I'd go back to the mouse and KB so I don't have to move my arms as much lol.

[@Hav0k]

Lol, well what's great is that it will evolve with you when your games change.

[@BGIANAKy]

Does the rig hold a 49 32:9 monitor without tilting it? Or a bigger screen?

[@Hav0k]

The monitor mounts will hold up to a 50 or 55 inch screen without any issues. You can either get the monitor mount as a part of the rig itself, or you can get it as it's own separate stand. In case you want to make it extra secure by bolting it into the wall.

[@BGIANAKy]

I’d love to get this but after master modes. What’s the point?

[@Hav0k]

Simple answer, because it won't matter what game you use it for. What ever game replaces Star Citizen if it's unsuccessful, DCS, flight simulator, and others. Even FPS games are comfortable with the setup. Regardless, I honestly believe master modes will get better as they make changes to it and fix its issues.

[@arcadealchemist]

it's OVERPRICED

[@Hav0k]

Not at all. I did a lot of research before I bought it. I calculated all of the pieces I would need, and all of the exact measurements. Turns out it was within $50 of buying the pieces separately. But when you factor in the specialized mounts you're getting, it ends up being a better option.

[@josiahfryman7015]

@@Hav0k I tried looking into sourcing the big profiles independently through machine shops and a local metal supplier etc as well and there were simply no savings to be had even considering shipping. Ive been impressed with my monstertech chair and I fully expect that to occur here when the full rig is delivered as well.

[@Hav0k]

@josiahfryman7015 yeah it was actually pretty incredible to find out that they're actually really well priced for what you're getting. And it will last you a very long time. I can't wait to get the chair for this thing. I hear such great things about them.

[@catsooey]

It seems that way, but being a flight sim pilot is expensive. The high end equipment is made of seriously strong and authentic components, in addition to all the electronics. There’s a strong physical element in what we do. Flying and simulating a real cockpit involves the weight of our whole bodies, plus our muscle strength. That means it needs to be strong as well with the right amount of flexibility. And it also needs to be incredibly sensitive and fine tuned to react to the smallest micro adjustments. On top of that it needs to be durable to stand up to years of heavy use. Imagine how tough (and expensive!) it is to design real aircraft for use in battle! To me flight sim isn’t that expensive from my point of view. I don’t smoke, and I’ve been sober for over 21 years so this is a safe and healthy thing to spend my money on. The amount I used to spend on cigarettes alone is absolutely bonkers. So I’m totally cool with spending a few k on a sim pit. Plus it doubles as an awesome workstation, cubby, and desk. I’ve been saving up to buy an MT rig all year.
