I understand. Can you tell me the price thats listed on amazon for the base only and base plus standard grip please? Also the shipping to germany if ordered on amazon would be nice.
Actually Cyph3r would it be awesome if we could get a technical drawing (maybe a PDF so the vectors are still editable) of the upper faceplate including the holes for the springpressure adustment screws. We could then modify the outer contour to our needs.
Is that possible?
EDIT: This way we could strip the whole gimbal from the housing in order to have it built into our simpits. That would be the most elegant solution.
not if you screw it UNDER the desk. I was considering using a VPC base for my left hand as well and had Geerscutting cut a 5mm aluminium with the vectors as seen in the screenshot.
This way its comfortable to use when sitting on a standard officechair.
I would do one modification on this vector. The outermost screws only hold the actual gimbal indirectly. Thats actually the screews that attach the upper facing plate with the outer housing and not the gimbal itself. So either modifying the cutlines so the innermost screws are the ones used would be advisable OR simply using this cutvector and adding 2 holes in the front so you can use the U-shaped mountingbracked thats delivered with the T50. The one thats also used to attach the T50 to their own deskmount.
The holes on the left are for woodscrews so you can attach it to the deskplate from below.
Here is the actual DXF file of the vector if anyone needs it:

Guys together with the drawing provided by VPC you can go ahead and create your own cut vector using illustrator or other vectorprograms and have it produced (including chamfering) at http://www.geerscutting.de They offer all sorts of metals and thicknesses.
I had them produce lots of stuff for me. They are cheap and deliver good quality.
They sometimes take a while since they got lots of work thou.
Here is my setup: https://www.pic-upload.de/view-33999922/VPC.jpg.html
The aluminium mountingplate you see where my T50 is mounted in is lasercut by geers.
For everyone interested in properly callibrating before the software is out: Just use diview.exe.
You can have it show your RAW values and then properly callibrate by hand.
I think the levers will not be too well suited for something thats used practically the whole time.
But try it out and let us know. The levers could be useful for something like zoom in when properly implemented like it is in BOS for example.
Awesome! This is almost the setup I am going for. However I will be doing a combination of centermount for the main pitch and roll stick with extension for increased precision and the left handed for the strafe axes without any extension.
I hope my package arrives soon so i can show you guys:)
Cheers!

Ahhhhhh. That looks so nice. Cant wait. Soon ill have 2 of these.
LH grip with Warthog base for the left hand and the T50 Base with RH grip for the centermount.
This will give so sexy pics:)
And. Cypher. As soon as we get info on the Throttle and pedals probably more Virpilgear on and under my desk:)
uh? Even if it was possible - and I think it could probably be achieved due to the nature of the connector - you would lack the X and Y axis. The grip only for its buttons? Well. Original thought.
Grats Bandit. Still waiting...:)
