I found it funny, but would like to share. Both the brackets on amazon have been sold so many times that the Industrial Velcro is now a suggested bundle.
I used the same clamps and velcro but on a $60 office chair from Target, mounting my Thrustmaster T.16000M HOTAS and because the armrests slant down and *FORWARD*, was able to place them at a more comfortable height. So far this is the most practical and cost-effective HOTAS chair setup I've seen, thanks!
Thanks so much for posting this!!! I just got these In 2 days ago, had to use a rubber washer to fill a gap to get it tight, but it’s great I love it!! Was a bit difficult to find the mounts now though as amazon no longer carries them. I found them on NewArk for $24 each!!
THANK YOU so much for putting this up. I just put my thrustmaster warthog fs and throttle onto my rinky dink office chair, and its great!! I did have to alter some parts do to the weight, but it turned out fantastic. GREAT WORK!!
Super useful. I just ordered the exact same pieces and X52 Pro. Good thing my chair has the arm pieces completely vertical so I can mount them at the exact height I need. One tip for you would be, wrap your arm rest with two scarfs so they create the height you need for your joystick. Good job!!!!
Not sure if your flight controller manufacturers them (or has hardware mounting capability), but I ended up making a VESA -> X-55 Rhino HOTAS mount that I was able to then install (VESA mount -> converter mount -> HOTAS). It was pretty easy to make, just bought a 1/8" or so thick aluminum plate from Lowes, drew the outline of the HOTAS, cut them out with a Dremel (I went through a TON of blades, so you want a blade that is designed for metal). Then drilled holes for the VESA mount, then drilled holes for the HOTAS. After putting it all together, I didn't have any issues with the joysticks and throttle from falling off :p
Thank you for saving some money with these mounts to the other more expansive solutions! I will use theses since my cheer has the same arm rests!thanx!
Finding the right chair is essential. Mine ended up being too narrow and just sitting down was a bit awkward. Glad yours worked out well. Nice video. Thanks, See you in the dark, o7 Cmdr.
I use a tall mic boom stand, with retractile badge holders and rubber bands, keeps the cable from the VR headset up and out of the way, just have the top part loose so it swivels around and have no issues using my headset anywhere in my room. Anyways, thank you! I have a Respawn chair that has the same style of armrests, and I like it, don't want to switch chairs to be able to use Moinstertech's mounts, so this should work great. Now, I just need to improvise something to lock my swiveling chair, so using rudder pedals is easier.
I actually went with double armed ones, as I will have to mount at a lower point as there's huge "knobs" on my chair where you mounted yours, so I will have to mount lower. But I'll have even more options for positioning and adjustability... Had to shell out more dough though
Damn Bumble, this is genius brother. I bought a playseat last year with a thrustmaster base, shifter & clutch. So I play project cars & Vive with that setup. My space games have been suffering though. Next month or month after I'll copy this setup. I wish motion seats were a bit down in price, motion + Vive = true immersion. Appreciate this Bumble.
Wanted to stop in Bumble and say thanks for the inspiration. I've seen other howto's with similar setups, but I really appreciate how real and natural your video is...how you create a simple straight up video that makes us feel like we're just hanging out. I went with the Wart Hog, the mount plate(with poles underneath[for a crazy expensive game chair]) and ended up hard mounting the panel side to the bottom of my chair so the clamps will hold the poles of the mount plates...very solid and absolutely worth the price on Amazon. Couldn't see spending $500 on a chair system, or $380 for desk clamps... All told, I spent $100 and don't need an extra chair floating around. Even though I reversed it, and have seen other vids like yours, just wanted to say; Thanks, yours was the inspiration. Hope to see you out in the Black Commander...o7
Very helpful - had not thought of this kind of approach. Probably could mount some plywood, ~3/8" or so, on the mounting hardware then the controls on the plywood, extending it out a bit.
I was looking for a workable solution for dual sticks in star citizen. This should work. I will give it a try. You have good presentation skills. You should make more videos.
this is useless for SC... because you will sit cramped when moving from ship controls to first person shooter/ character controls. - its a nice workaround for ED because there you only control ship and rover and maybe use keyboard for typing in galaxymap, thats it. but for SC the only solution is to mount the stuff to table in away were it doesnt obstruct the keyboard and mouse at the same time
Here is a solution for SC ruclips.net/video/Opq_ibuv2GU/видео.html make this table or similar attach stick and throtle too table make under belly for mouse and keyboard boom done got full set up.
Ordered everything 'cept the low back chair. Got a high back chair for now. Not doing VR until Star Citizen Properly supports it. Prolly at least a year or 3 before that happens.... thanks for the great DIY video.
Fantastic video. Also checked out your 1YR VR video and it was excellent as well. subbed and you deserve far more views and upvotes! :) Waiting on Amazon now for these babies. Can't wait.
I'd just go ahead and just mount those at the steep angle to use as a base then design a custom extension off of that to get the angle/elevation I want. Could prototype with cardboard or blocks of wood to get the desired shape/dimensions then fabricate final design out of metal.
I just went to home Depot, got a couple of L brackets, 1/16in steel plates. Cut the steel plates with an angle grinder (took forever, would of loved a plasma cutter), drilled holes in the arms, bolted the L brackets with wing nuts (so I can easily remove without tools), bent the L brackets up by hand a bit, drilled more holes and bolted everything together. Not fancy whatsoever but it works and it was like 10-15 bucks is supplies. I could file some edges up a little bit more, I would not say it's child safe lol. To add to the ghetto factor, I put some drink koozies on my armrests for comfort since they are unpadded.
Angelenglen I'll shoot a video today I think and post the link for you. I've wanted an excuse to post a video for the first time and hotas mounting videos aren't plentiful. Neither are good star citizen hotas binding videos. Took me FOREVER to bind everything I wanted.
Nice video and thanks for the links - Great idea on using those clamps. I have a chair that would work with this method. Thanks for sharing the idea Cheers Jim
Or, if you prefer the stick infront of you, you could just use some sticky back heavy duty Velcro to secure it no-fuss to your desk along with the throttle, works a treat. But then that's me, I find to the side just doesn't feel natural, to the front feels precise.
in Elite Dangerous all sticks are setup that way, so that when you do use a HOTAS setup the throttle and the stick is where you'd expect them to be as you see them in VR. Personally I built a cheap but nice looking rig with a proper racin chair and a wide deck that I mounted it all to on the sides forward. That way the chair can't move nor swirl around its pivot.
Just received these clamps and promptly mounted them; I think you could have saved effort by not reorienting, and also because the pivot point furthest from the clamp is already aligned, it would have reduced the elevation of your joystick. Good vid though bro
You can skip most of this if you simply have enough c clamps and scrap steel with 90 deg. bends.. Its easy I have made "commander seats" out of many chairs as long as they had arms office chairs/ cushy chairs/ recliners you name it.. However, this does look more appealing then what Im generally happy with...though I do like ability to pivot lil tables for mouse/speedpad/sticks
After 3 years how has this worked out for you? Would really appreciate a reply back. Especially on the durability of long time use(did the mounts start to slip at all on the chair arms?) Looking to do this for Star Citizen and this would be a great long term use.
i just bought a set for Star Citizen for dual Thrustmasters.....hit me back in a few weeks and ill let you know...for me I'm going to do some cutting on my chair to make it fit better...but you might have to modify your chair
@@dragoon3359 so i bought all of this and built it. Word of advice...dont place the mounts and joysticks directly in front of the arms like he does...mount the joysticks to the arms do that they are on the outside of the arms
Tried these; one thing to note MAKE SURE you check what type of armrests you have! my chair didn't have round/square arms, they're more oval and bulky so when I got these adapters in, they didn't fit!
The magic missing piece here is a wide 2'6" x 2' plywood with a half moon cut out of it to make room for your stomach as a chair tray. All your controls would be bolted to the tray. The tray would be held onto the chair arms with shop jig clamps such as those made by Bessey or DeStaCo.

But with the Vive it is awesome..

Thanks, I'm trying out the bind in training missions,to get use to it before V.R. Question,How do I enable Modifier mode,silver knob on joystick to blue mode?Modifier 1 , Modifier 2 . everything in gray text?
+Jerry Knapp The modifier buttons are just buttons that can be combined with other buttons for a key bind. For example Modifier 1 + Scroll wheel on throttle is next/previous target. Modifier 2 + Pinky Trigger toggles orbit lines. Stuff in grey means that's how the button functions in interface mode.
I just wish the picture was as sharp on the VR headset as you see it on the screen. Last time I used one, you really couldn't make out the words, the magnification had the pixels themselves too noticeable.
The standard VR settings in Elite Dangerous are not as sharp as monitor but I never had trouble reading text. However, if using the Oculus rift you can use the debug tool which comes with the oculus store to increase the resolution to Monitor standard, provided your PC can run it.
Is there a way to do this so that the forearm will rest on the armrest or is it comfortable having to raise your wrist 5 inches high off the rest to hold the joystick?
which usb hub did you use? Does it need to have a power source too, for the joystick to work properly? I have the same setup but also with keyboard and mouse, my cords are running across to my pc and I just realized I should get one of those. lol but I there're so many.
You wouldn't happen to have any problems with spacing, would you? I'm a thicker guy so when I use a similar trick with my chair, I'm actually forcing myself past the stick and throttle.
Yeah, I use a Mainstays mid-back office chair. I originally had the single-joint mounts, but had to switch to the double-joint for the joystick. The end result is my mount is now parallel with the arm, but the joystick is just slightly off to the side. The only downside is that I have slightly less leg room.
Just curious, why cut the piece of velcro that sticks to the bottom of the joystick? If the piece were larger you have better mounting options because you can move it around on your mount.
+Bumble Thx, I found these today which should work on my chair or anyone who doesnt have a 90 degree angle on their arm rest. www.amazon.com/Bracket-Pole-Mount-Double-Arm/dp/B00OPC4BH2/ref=pd_sim_23_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YFPHV2NQA9GAV9M0K33F

Update would be awesome, but this video as it is, is amazing!
Awsome Video mate just got my first Vr set so i want the joysticks and a great way to mount em perfect.
I used this basic model for my own T16000M, and I resolved the "arm resting" issue by moving the mounts further forward/down the armrest.

Thank you for a great solution that also looks nice and neat.
looks really nice set, got my self hotas system X-55 rhino
Good idea using flat screen poll mounts!
Nice 1 mate ordered the bits very informative ta!

keep seeing this but my concern after the 30-50 buck/each investment is there needds to be some drop or fatigue is sure to be an issue
I'm just gonna use some duct tape
lol that was my backup plan
If you can't duct it, fuck it
Lol bru just use scotch tape
All you fancy people with your tapes...imma use lots of chewing gum that I've collected over the years

+Jerry Knapp The modifier buttons are just buttons that can be combined with other buttons for a key bind. For example Modifier 1 + Scroll wheel on throttle is next/previous target. Modifier 2 + Pinky Trigger toggles orbit lines.
Stuff in grey means that's how the button functions in interface mode.
With proper seat it would be quite good 👍
I just wish the picture was as sharp on the VR headset as you see it on the screen. Last time I used one, you really couldn't make out the words, the magnification had the pixels themselves too noticeable.
If you're talking about star citizen its probably just not optimized for it yet.
The standard VR settings in Elite Dangerous are not as sharp as monitor but I never had trouble reading text. However, if using the Oculus rift you can use the debug tool which comes with the oculus store to increase the resolution to Monitor standard, provided your PC can run it.
I believe there is a HTC Vive equivalent too.
Is there a way to do this so that the forearm will rest on the armrest or is it comfortable having to raise your wrist 5 inches high off the rest to hold the joystick?
Life-changing experience?
Hey since I have to use those scissors, can I get them when you're done?
I got the same chair the single joint mount works better
Link?
thanks
complete setup with a keyboard hookup to chair also under 200.00.and that includes chair ( amazon )
which usb hub did you use? Does it need to have a power source too, for the joystick to work properly? I have the same setup but also with keyboard and mouse, my cords are running across to my pc and I just realized I should get one of those. lol but I there're so many.
awesome video, can you tell me how old are you by the way?
28
You wouldn't happen to have any problems with spacing, would you? I'm a thicker guy so when I use a similar trick with my chair, I'm actually forcing myself past the stick and throttle.
Hasn't been a problem for me, but it depends on the size of your HOTAS and chair. The mounts themsleves aren't much wider than a typical chair arm.

Can someone post a link to the brackets?
I am getting the THRUSTMASTER 2960720 Hotas Warthog, will those brackets work with the joystick and the throttle?
I think the Warthog might be too large, ideally you would want larger mounts for that beast. It might still work though.
Just curious, why cut the piece of velcro that sticks to the bottom of the joystick? If the piece were larger you have better mounting options because you can move it around on your mount.
Good point, cutting the velcro on the bottom of the HOTAS is unnecessary
Why not put the arms of the burner chair onto the gaming chair?
rip life
hahahahhaha so true xD
Yeah in VR
LOL
how would this work for vkb nxt stick
Great video, did you have to setup you HOTAS or is it config to ED.
E:D has a keybindings preset for the x52 Pro that is pretty good, and you can easily tweak it as you play to suit your needs.
this. it maps perfectly, everything feels natural so no need to change bindings at all.
Thank you man !!!
Can the clamp arms bend past 90 degrees? Just curious because my armrests and connecting bottom piece are closer to 45 degrees.
It doesn't bend past 90 degrees as far as I can tell
+Bumble Thx, I found these today which should work on my chair or anyone who doesnt have a 90 degree angle on their arm rest.
