meisterolsen Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, some of you might have seen our table mounts before but I wanted to make a thread here to get more feedback from the DCS community. The table mounts are made out of anodized aluminium. The top and mounting plates are also anodized. We have specialised mouting plates for all current systems. We always try to improve the design more and the best way is just to listen to user feedback. If you have some ideas or critique to improve the design please let us know. You can find some build videos on our YouTube Channel: Monster Tech Channel Our website: http://www.monstertech.de/en/ Table Mounts video introduction with Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS: A review of the desk mounts by Snake Eater.

Johnny Dioxin Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Very interested in this! It will depend on price, whether I can buy it (being a pensioner and already shelling out for VR this year) - but it certainly looks like just the job :thumbup: Rig: Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS; Ryzen 7800X3D ; 64GB DDR5 5600; RTX 4080; VPC T50 CM2 HOTAS; Pico 4 over VD Wireless & Valve Index; Point Control v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PureEvil Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 got a question, is it possible to order TABLE MOUNT without a plate? if it is, how much it will cost inc. 19% VAT? will the shipping cost be the same as with the plate?

meisterolsen Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hey send us an email to info@monstertech.de about the table mount without a mounting plate. I will have to calculate a price for that. Shipping will probably be about the same the plates are not that heavy.

Johnny Dioxin Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 If you follow the link the prices are displayed. eg. Warthog joystick is €83 Great product, if I had not already made a custom one myself I would definitely be interested. Yes, I found the prices. I was going to order straight away, when I realised the price had to be doubled for a HOTAS, and that is just too much for me. I had made my own supports out of wood, but a recent change has meant I'm back to table-top, which means my stick extension is also useless to me now. Way it goes. When you're not getting much money (despite the tripe the government spews out about armed forces covenants and the like), you get used to either making do without or always paying 'on the never-never'.

Shogun0 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 My pair shipped out yesterday. Will post my thoughts when I get them in. My bulky PVC stand just takes up too much room and dissuades me from wanting to fly.

FraserNZL Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 What about the x55 oris the base too big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperKungFu Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Yea I would love to get it but the price cost almost the same as what I paid for the warthog...so I couldn't pull the trigger. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporg Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 They are very nice mounts, but the prices are prohibitive for me. At something around half the price I would consider it. Perhaps a plastic version at lower price than that.

meisterolsen Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 What about the x55 oris the base too big? We do have specialised plates for the X55. They look similar to the Warthog throttle plate just in the size of the X55 joystick and throttle.

eriks71 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I have a 20cm extension on my Stick so in the 'standard' stick mount its way to high, are you making extended ones for people with stick extensions? it looks like a great solution for my problem.

VTJS17_Fire Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Hi Meisterolsen, very interessting. Are you planning "sets" for Stick and Throttle, maybe with a little reduced price?

Weegie Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Look very nice quality but pretty pricey Can you order the mount plates separately? I have a Hog Stick & FBM so I would not want to shell out twice for both sticks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyden Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Look very nice quality but pretty pricey Can you order the mount plates separately? I have a Hog Stick & FBM so I would not want to shell out twice for both sticks They do offer plates separately. I picked up a set back in December and haven't regretted the purchase even once. They might be slightly pricey, but considering they'll probably outlast most joystick setups, I don't think it's too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Dioxin Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'll probably order one for my stick - I'm currently unable to use the extension, so it would be useful for that. In a year or so I can then order one for the throttle, I suppose - when I have the spare cash :) VR is going to cost me a lot of money this year (HMD, Touch, Cover, lenses, software - wish I had a well paid job!) and I think many here will be in the same boat. Not forgetting all the modules for DCS this year. Good job I rarely drink the devil's brew.

xxJohnxx Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 And a question: Are the mounts adjustable in the height? Yes they are. With an alan key and some force the mounting plate can slide up and down on the main colum as desired. :thumbup: Check out my YouTube: xxJohnxx Intel i7 6800k watercooled | ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 | 32 GB RAM | Asus GTX1080 watercooled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snakeshit1988 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I got mine some weeks ago. After some flight hours and adjustments I can really say: It's worth it. Great steering experience with the Thrustmaster Warthog and a lot more sensibility because of the "real" flight position of the stick and throttle. Great job guys and really good quality. You can adjust the height of throttle and stick and the pressure and detachment on the table. I have a lightly curved table and it works fine. Thank you very much to Monster Tech!

meisterolsen Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 I have a 20cm extension on my Stick so in the 'standard' stick mount its way to high, are you making extended ones for people with stick extensions? it looks like a great solution for my problem. The mounts have a vertical adjustable range of about 22cm. If you need a longer one write it in the order notice, maybe it will cost a few Euros more but I will get back to you on that then. Hi Meisterolsen, very interessting. Are you planning "sets" for Stick and Throttle, maybe with a little reduced price? And a question: Are the mounts adjustable in the height? Thanks in advance, Fire At the moment we are not planning sets. Because we have so many versions of the mounting plates it's quite a challenge to keep everything organized now. If we would offer sets it would double the versions. Also in the next few weeks black versions will go online which will make everything even more complicated backend wise. Look very nice quality but pretty pricey Can you order the mount plates separately? I have a Hog Stick & FBM so I would not want to shell out twice for both sticks The mounting plates are available seperatly and are easily changend. You just have to loose two screws and you can switch them out. The idea is you only have to buy the mounts one and can use them with every new joystick/throttle system. We are already working on new plates for the upcoming Thrustmaster and VKB systems.
