Thanks! This was great. I especially liked that BenQ monitor, even though I won't be replacing my Studio Display (which I love) in the foreseeable future. And that Kuxiu iPad Arm certainly looks tempting. Would love a full studio tour.

Haha! Trust me I know exactly what that's like, it's been screaming at me for years.

[@VajckaSY]

The studio tour would be great. Also, the studio looks so good that it is almost impossible to believe it is real in some other videos when the studio is in the background. It looks like A.I. made that I actually checked it :) Great and inspiring job. Martin

[@Sox_zz]

I appreciate that you prefaced a common issue found in desk setups. By saying that you have no intention of bragging and are only showing it to us for inspirational purposes is what separates you from the rest of KZbin!!! I appreciate your honesty and makes me more drawn to your content and honest reviews!!!

[@PatrickRambles]

Thank you man, that's much appreciated!

[@Sox_zz]

@@PatrickRambles I just want to let you know that your the only KZbin channel that I have ever posted comments on in my life!!!

Thank you, kind sir 🤝🧐

@@PatrickRambles you are welcomed I m rethinking my setup. I currently have the ikea countertop on a fully adjustable unit. I moved to a bigger house so I think I might do 2 ikea countertops the way you have it set up. 1 for my talking heads and another for unboxings or product reviews etc Need to cleanup first and do one of these desk setup videos at the new house

Hey Patrick there's a white version of the PSA1+ now if you're interested!

[@PatrickRambles]

Don't tell me these things, now I have to spend more money 😂

[@MadMaxx.1977]

Hey Rambler! I had to come back and let you know I had IllusionNeon build me a badass custom sign. It’s the logo from the Mass Effect PC game series. I’m a Mass Effect freak and they did an awesome job for me. Thanks for recommending them!

Good to see what you guys use to ....create 😅😅😅

[@PatrickRambles]

Not sure what that means.

[@UrbanBDKNY]

BTW, regarding the monitor options... The only true competition for the ASD is coming from Samsung. The Viewfinity S9. It is out in Korea right now. It is a 5k 27" just like the ASD and comes with the matte screen and adjustable stand. I think it will be around 1300 etc so I suspect you might end up getting one lol I need 3 hahahaha. I m waiting for some reviews from bigger channels who will likely get their hands on them before we can. A small KZbin channel from Korea got their hands on it and reviewed it. It was a really good review, oh and that iPad "arm" is fantastic.

[@dalestark9505]

i want to hang out with Patrick for a day and absorb all his awesomeness

[@raycheshire5581]

Well done for going over 100k and getting your silver plaque!

[@PatrickRambles]

Thanks!!

[@Pontie66]

Yeah, no doubt it is an amazing and inspiring setup! I have mine as well, but I need to handle the cable yet. I need to replace my monitors with 2K or 4K monitors because they are much better for editing photos.

[@PatrickRambles]

Thanks man!

[@PolluxChung]

I was so close to bite the bullet for the Apple Studio Display. But when I saw a big sale on the Huawei 28.2 Mateview I went for that instead. I like the taller aspect ratio big time.

I'm intrigued 👀

[@bbrown6057]

Looks great! What's the name of the back wall paint you used?

[@Ren-Dez-Vous]

Nice work. Sub’d

Thanks! It's a very simple self-leveling one by BOSCH. Works great!

Do you have a link to the HBM tool trolley with the casters seen in the background. The ones you have your apple product boxes in?

[@thetrickster4526]

Gorgeous setup, btw what is that tube light looking light called? that which was emitting pink light?

[@PatrickRambles]

It's a Pavotube by Nanlite. But it was orange 😅. Maybe it came off as pink on camera.

[@SlightlySinful]

Loved this video! Thanks for sharing. What is the other unit supporting your desktop (ikea countertop)? It's at 3:10 (not the Ikea Alex).. Hoping you'll share.

[@kuxiutech]

7:30 is our Unique arm stand

[@bryans8656]

That is a very nice setup Patrick even though, since I'm not a KZbinr, I have none of the same gear. Like you I do have an L-desk setup because I still telecommute. I have my personal computer and peripherals on my primary desk, and my work laptop and peripherals on the L, so all I have to do is pivot to go from work to play. It ain't pretty (you should see the rats nest of wires under the desk) but it suits my needs perfectly.

[@PatrickRambles]

Haha , trust me , my cable management leaves a lot to be desired too.

[@karthikeyanparasuraman9337]

Clean desk is the sign of........cluttered desk drawers!😂😂😂😂 Soo relatable!! Great vd tho!

Thanks man 🙏

[@SteveHinrichs]

I totally got desk envy. The video is always motivational for me to clean up my desk and go paperless. I need to check into that scanner. My 3 in 1 HP printer is just way too slow. How fast is that ESR travel charger? This would help me clean up my travel pouch and simplify the number of cables. Thanks for sharing your desk set up. Way too neat and organized for it to be productive. Just kidding… 😂🤣💕👍🙏

[@PatrickRambles]

Haha well, I may have tidied up before I invited you in! The charger is 15w/5w. It's alright, nothing groundbreaking. But for overnight or desk charging it's super useful.

[@PatrickRambles]

Oh and that scanner is the GOAT.

[@SteveHinrichs]

@@PatrickRambles Thanks I was looking for a link. I am getting one of those iPad desk arms. That is awesome.

[@DKatri1]

The travel charger looks great! Does it fast charge the phone or watch?

[@PatrickRambles]

Sadly, no. 15/5 watt. That’s not enough to fast charge the Apple Watch ultra but at the desk or overnight hotel room charging it is great.

[@MrAlroyNdhlovu]

Hi, can you please share the dimensions of the desk. Looking to get one but need a good idea of the size.

[@Warvinzs]

Hi, what's the yellow cable on your macbook ? Is it for the keyboard ?

[@jaredt.4048]

Thanks for the informative video; very fun. I’m curious which watch face are you using on your Apple Watch in the video? Lastly, I noticed your black geometric wallpaper on your iPhone. Will that be available for purchase? I didn’t see that black one in the zip file I purchased from you. Cheers!

[@PatrickRambles]

Hey! The apple watch face is a stock one but it is exclusive to the ultra. The black geometric wallpaper should be in the zip file in the mobile folder under "space grey"

[@jaredt.4048]

@@PatrickRambles thank you for the reply. Ok, I have the series 6 watch and explains why I couldn’t find the match. Thanks for clarifying the wallpaper, it looked more black on your phone, so I wasn’t sure if it was different. I am using the gray on all devices and love it. Thank you!
