Do you have plans for the upcoming VKB Gunfighter 2 stick and their forthcoming throttle?

Hi meisterolsen,

 

I really like the look of your products but I have some suggestions.

 

The problem with the joy stick mounts is they are too short and the stick ends up being too high for realistic control for a stick mounted between the pilots legs.

 

If you have flown a real fighter (I have done so), the stick is mounted just above thigh height (see images below). This gives a far more natural throw of the stick and importantly, when flying formation, you rest your forearm on your thigh which gives far more precise control.

 

So, seated in your chair, the top two thirds (maybe a bit more) of the stick grip, would be above the top of your thigh.

 

So, in my opinion, the adjustable height (from top of desk to base plate mount) would have to be at least 350 mm for the standard Thrustmaster Warthog joystick and for the forthcoming VKB Gunfighter MCG Pro with the extension, it would have to be at least 550 mm to allow for different seat heights and thigh heights.

 

Do you make custom lengths for the mounts?

 

See the images below.

Of course we will support the next Gunfighter and the new trottle. The throttle looks insane. :)

 

We do have a short and a long version of the table mounts:

Update: We have been working on a lot of upgrades for the Table Mounts for the last few months. Here a few pictures for the just released Mouse Extension.

 

Developing this was actually quite the challenge. We went through many ideas on how to make it.

 

Luckily we found the solution with a new composite material we are now using in general instead of wood. Black all the way through, almost as hard as aluminium and we can put it in an CNC mill. The material is actually quite expensive but worth it.

 

Hope you guys like it.

1: If you got the Gunfighter Pro ( which has the extension) and are going to use the extension, you will need the extended Monster Tech Mount. If no plans on using the extension, the standard mount would be fine.

 

2: Not real sure on that one, can't image the mount being logistically any different between Mk 1 and Mk 2. AFAIK the only difference is in the plug adapters , the pins on the Mk 1 are in the base, whereas the pins on the Mk 2 are in the grip. No idea on the "inverted" part.

 

I have the extended Gunfighter Pro ( Mk 1 ) and Monster Tech extended mount, fantastic combination and love it. I don't recall having those options when I ordered the Monster Tech Mount, I just ordered the extended mount and Gunfighter Plate.

Hey guys,

 

sorry for the slow answers here. We have been incredibly busy over the last few months. We were swamped with orders starting the end of last year and just got back to a normal output again. So no more delays!

 

Here is an update video if you are interested.

I received my monstertech desk mount for use with VPC War Brd + Hotas Warthog stick.

I can't get it work properly. After a single use the mechanism get's loose (when for example I have to move it out of my desk working area) and I have to readjust everything from the beginning.

Besides that, my main problem is that I can't get it to stay properly as shown in the various youtube videos on the desk, mine hangs little bit back, as you can see in the attached picture, which makes the use of the stick uncomfortable. Also, i can lift the mount up, and if I release it falls back. The movement is of course very small but noticeable, it happened also that during a dogfight the mount slipped further down.

I have already watched this video

Is this due to my curved desk or am I missing something (sorry i'm horrible even at simple engineering / hardware tasks)?

Any help is appreciated
