I have been using this for several months. Zero complaints aside from cost. It’s very convenient and easy to move around if that is what you need to do. And great for a smaller space.

@joshmilton 7 месяцев назад

Really helpful video Dave. As someone currently racing on a wheel stand I'm half looking at what my next step is whilst working with limited space and not necessarily in a position to go full rig. Something like this looks on the surface like it could be for me, but really helpful to know its not quite the same foldable/portable seat you'd normally get from PlaySeat but also not in the right price range. It sounds good, but like a few releases in the sim market recently, seemingly pitched in to no man's land where its neither beginner nor hard-core enough!

@Daz555Daz 7 месяцев назад

Appreciate the honesty about the price. Shows integrity.

@Tuganotube 7 месяцев назад

I have one and i absolutely adore it. it does have a shifter an handbreak mout. works flawless. the only downside is it seats very low. sometimes is a an hassel to keep getting in and out. it´s pricey but you get what you pay for.

@tshensley 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video Dave! I have the play seat as my secondary rig. They do have a shifter mount though to have it sent to the states cost a ton in shipping and I had to order it directly from their site. Having used the rig for about 5 months. The only real complaint I have is with the slide adjustment for height. It has a telescoping mechanism that you tighten down with some Allen screws. However, if you're like me and like to dial your Acetek Forte pedals in really stiff, it will slowly extend the height adjustment all the way out. I think remedy this by using some high strength wire and looping it through a couple of voids in the frame.

@Demps151 7 месяцев назад

there is a sifter mount, about £40 attachs to side, I have had this rig had it for a while now and love it, if you dont really have the space for a big rig, really comfortable sit in it all day long and feel fine, use a DD R9 moza on there and no twists or wobbling was great, well worth it if you havent got the space for a big rig

@DigitalRelay 7 месяцев назад

I bought the black version used a few months ago and absolutely love it. It’s rigid, lightweight, looks great, and is very comfortable. Although, wot a DD wheel, power supplies and a couple transducers on mine, it’s getting a bit heavy 😂

@chanonmotheral8031 7 месяцев назад

I’ve been looking at this for a while. I need the light weight and the space. If it were $100-$150 less it would already be in my home. Thanks for the review Dave. Hope to see you on track again soon.

@magsmafia 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Dave, good info.

@SlammedZero 6 месяцев назад

I just bought this, and actually, just got it all put together tonight. I like it a lot!! I think it looks great, it's comfortable, and it has a nice build quality. It's lightweight enough to slide/move around if you need to store it somewhere. My only real complaint so far is that, for the price, it should have come with the shifter mount included. I had to buy mine separately. I also do wish it had some form of cable management, but i managed to install all my cables very cleanly. Outside that, so far, I'm very happy with it. 👌

@doug_vickers 7 месяцев назад

It looks nice enough Dave and I suppose if you are limited to having the rig in the living room this looks better than a profile rig. It isn't the sort of thing for me but I'm sure it will find some buyers. Another great review video. 👍

@StickyGeko 6 месяцев назад

Ps you can move the wheel deck forward and back...theres different holes to bolt the dd into. Then you can also take off the wheel deck and flip it around so the long bit is faceing the other way,

@rover1374 7 месяцев назад

I had one before upgrading. Mine handled a 20nm base well enough but flexed with single mounting pedals. The material also ripped after about 6 months. Apart from that it was quite comfortable and light though.

@chrisj5753 7 месяцев назад

I've had the original all black one close to a year and love it. CSL DD base. I agree a bit pricey, one reason I got is it's easy to move if need be

@leah_gt 7 месяцев назад

Yep, its a great rig. I use it for my gran turismo rig and its perfect. Its actually comfier than my Alloy rig with the carbon bucket etc. Honestly the Trophy is amazing, its light weight, rigid, comfy and looks great. I have owned it for around 1 1/2 years now. It is expensive but so is anything good in sim racing :(

@ChipDavis160 7 месяцев назад

I bought this rig, love it. Agree, for the money there are better options however I had a space limitation and this fit very well in the space I had, the foot print is very compact.

@dcaratachea 7 месяцев назад

I’ve had mine for a year (regular version). I did get mine for $300 off eBay and I absolutely love it. I live in an apartment so space is limited so I decided to purchase this rig. It’s a perfect size. I bought a monitor arm for a 32 in monitor and clamped it before the wheel base to save more space. Works perfect. Anyone on the fence should pull the trigger.

@SamuelHiti 7 месяцев назад

Yes! Such a good rig. Bought one myself!

@tyleryoung5040 7 месяцев назад

I’ve got this cockpit. It’s really not bad, price is my biggest complaint, but it works for my situation. At 6’1, and a bit long in the legs, my knees do bump up against the wheelbase mount. Depending on which way you have that facing, it can be much worse. I initially had a thrustmaster on there, using the desk mounted clamps, that was actually not comfy at all. Right now I’ve got the Cammus C5, it mounts perfectly, and it’s been really nice.

@dniedbyalstategaming4737 7 месяцев назад

I owned this for 3 weeks decided to return it and upgrade to an 80/20. Your review is spot on but I’d like to add a few things. The biggest negatives are 3 things- 1- the seat will move back if you stomp your brakes too hard. I’ve had to adjust the seats multiple times. I play acc and I stomp harder than needed when it gets intense. 2- the back part of the seat will also move overtime due to hard braking. 3- the seat is essentially a hammock. If you have back problems, you will have a hard time in endurances races. I’m 6’ tall, 190lbs. Using 11nm dd wheel and load cell pedals brakes. If space and mobility is an issue, this is probably the highest quality lawn chair cockpit on the market. Way better than next level racing’s lawn chair cockpit.

@braydenjones603 7 месяцев назад

Just got one of these after buying a G923 6 months ago and then found myself subsequently addicted to sim racing (iR ACC). It's very comfortable, and feels very stiff to me, though I have no reference as it's the only DD compatible cockpit I've owned. The downside is it's a little time consuming to adjust if you're swapping jockeys. I'm using it with a R12 and Sprints. The reason I got this over a profile rig is simply the weight. I need to move it around as my main pc is also my sim racing pc (might need to change that at some point), so I need to move it every time I use it. I have it dual locked to a mat and it's easy to slide backwards and forwards. Also, as I'm renting, if I have to move it's maybe 3 less trips than a profile rig. The boxed weight is only 16 kg. All up I'm happy with it. No regrets.

@mrtj24sdt 6 месяцев назад

Good review. I recently bought the standard playseat trophy, and I agree the price is steep. I bought it for two reasons. Firstly, I wanted somthing stiff and rigid as I use a Fanatec CSL DD wheel base and secondly I needed a cockpit that can easily store away. I live in a small studio flat and obviously I am very limited on space so when I am not using my rig I store myn behind the sofa. If you are tight on space but don't want a folding cockpit, it's a ok buy

@philliptheone 6 месяцев назад

@marekm6523 7 месяцев назад

I have regular version from currys for under 400£ but that was on promo. I have to say I loved perfect for people that don't have much space, very comfortable, easy to move, solid. Honestly, for under 400 I can recommend for everyone.

@Crumpooz 7 месяцев назад

@caaarlos 7 месяцев назад

It is exactly like you said it Dave! It used to cost 600€ (your equivalent I guess) but I got it at 500€ from a local store after trying it. (would be close to the 100 quid cheaper). The advantage for me was that I could try a display Playseat Trophy in the store. I've sat in 3 aluminium profiles and the footprint was noticeably bigger, overall heavier and more things to mess around. For me bucket seats were quite expensive and no matter which aluminium profile I got I wouldn't be able to reach the 500€ budget with aluminium and bucket. (and having a "fluffy" car style seat wouldn't be ideal tbh) cheers!

@fredrikrosvoldaunet7615 7 месяцев назад

Where can i get a aluminium profile rig with seat for under 400 pound?

@SteelRiverSims 7 месяцев назад

Great review and absolutely bang on, it's just way way way too expensive! There really is no justification for the price either 🤷‍♂️ ...for the record I'm with you. It looks decent and if there's no flex it's also a quality product. These companies just need to sort their prices out, especially these days when things are tight.

@jc_yyz 7 месяцев назад

I bought this setup because I have limited space and I wanted something I can (more) easily move around, and I can also leave it setup and it doesn't look awful. I run a Simagic Alpha U and P1000 Hydraulic pedals on it, and I have zero complaints. Yes, it's a little pricey, but for my aesthetic, it works. Note: I use VR for racing, so I don't have screens setup with it, so the overall space it requires is even less.

@sorte13_official 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for your honest opinion. I am searching for a new seat for my DD Pro. It can be in that price niveau you mentioned, what would you suggest?!

@Bigheadedwon 18 дней назад

Love the size and the fact I could move it out the way easy. I also love the color scheme. But I won’t have a Logitech setup when I build my rig. So now I gotta go Google and find a company that will customize the black and red one to match the Simagic gear I’ll be buying. I’m sure that’ll only double the price lol

@danielalmond3272 5 месяцев назад

Had my eye on one for ages. I'm using a Playseat Challenge and want to take a step up in terms of rigidity but still have it portable enough that I can chuck it in the garage between uses. I just can't justify the price. It came down to £449 for the red one on Black Friday and even then it feels at least £50 too expensive. Considering whether something like a GT Omega Titan with caster wheels might be an alternative, but I've got something like a 10-15ft journey to the garage, including down one step.

@Cliff_the_hobbygeek 4 месяца назад

After watching, I was considering this rig. It looks like it is kind of low and could be difficult in and out of for an older person, like me 😂. I decided that a profile rig will be better for me. Great info though!

Had looked at this then one amz reviewer said he kept breaking the pedal mount with his load cells. It would have stored nicely under stairs. Imported some 45135, 4590, 4545 from Slovenia and an OMP seat off ebay and built a Harry Potter rig instead.

@stratonut 7 месяцев назад

@esagheer 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the review Dave. I have been looking for a rig that I can move in and out of my desk area as I have a Samsung 49" that I use for work and sim racing. I am tight on space so can't have anything bulky and I don't want a foldable rig as it is not stable enough. I use Logitech G923 at the moment that is mounted on my desk which I might upgrade in the future to a DD. This one could be an option. It is $600 here in the US but I am definitely waiting for a discount or even a used one.

@xjrthirteen 7 месяцев назад

You say that you're not a reviewer Dave, but I think you do yourself a disservice saying that. Your reviews cover all the aspects that a SIM racer really cares about. You don't go into too much technical buff that doesn't matter in the real world and, most importantly, you're honest and say it how it is. That's not only essential for the consumer, but also very valuable feedback for the manufacturer.

@davecamm 7 месяцев назад

@jimashby43 7 месяцев назад

@chrispapa6700 7 месяцев назад

I have mine half of it the (base side 65cm total height with the base) under the desk with the simagic alpha and i move my monitor with an arm . If you want something like that its the only one. Its stable the plate needs some support with high end pedals and its expensive. But it is very comfortable and really stable, easy to build and move around. Also the shifter mount is rock solid too (+70e).

@belroi-57 7 месяцев назад

what can you say about the height of the wheelbase-plate? It looks a little bit too high.

@attesaarinen4311 7 месяцев назад

I've had this for a month. Built my first rig to this cockpit and it's nice. But I had to hammer the wheelbase bit too much for my taste. When I'm playing this much I hoped for better fit. Trophy fills the this particular void in the market very well. 4/5 for me

@backdrww2 7 месяцев назад

I have the GT Prime Lite, which was only $20 more. I will take the aluminum profile every time.

@DigitalRelay 7 месяцев назад

Also, although you can’t fold this, it is small and portable enough to move it from one side of the living room to in front of the tv and back easily. I’m not sure you’d be doing that with an aluminum profile rig.

@TheDoctor46vr 5 месяцев назад

@JL-cn1qi 8 дней назад

For that money you don't want to be mucking about afterwards with stuff you got from the hardware store to add a shifter platform. They could at least added one of those that you mount left or right and goes with the design of the rig.

@vt6020 7 месяцев назад

I wish there were more manufacturers making mini rigs like this. I think the appeal is that they take up little space and could be tucked away when not in use. The lack of competition from other brands is probably why they can sell this at a higher price, along with the Logitech branding.

@colossalbigfoot256 7 месяцев назад

Do these companies, like Asetek, make you keep swag they send? Or can you sell things they send for product demos? Just wondering… it was called Nardo Grey when that color first showed up.

@jasontpotter 7 месяцев назад

I have this rig. When I ordered it, Logitech shipped it to me missing the bar that connects the two halves together under the steering wheel deck (there is a pipe that the two sides slip fit onto to hold it together). I tried to contact Logitech directly to get a replacement, and got no response. Nothing. After doing some internet searching, apparently I am not the only person that who did not receive this critical part. I was lucky enough to have a piece of tubing that I could cut down to fit and make the rig work right. I could have returned the item, but that was more hassle than just cutting down the piece of pipe. However the combination of the missing part and the poor customer service, I will never buy another Logitech product. I like the rig for what it its, but I won't recommend it to anyone at any price point. I would be interested in seeing what aluminum profile rigs are out there with the seat included at roughly this price point however.

Logitech can happily price stuff a bit higher. No one else in the sim game; wheels, pedals, or cockpits can in any way compete with the distribution, support, and brand recognition Logitech has.

Play-seat have always been over priced for what they are, specially when there are similar items out there often £100 or so below their MRRP, and as you say, not much in the way of options either, Aluminium Profile rigs are getting cheaper month on month, Ok you often have to purchase a seat, But one can be purchased from a local scrap yard for around £100 these days with runners, So with a Aluminium rig at around the £250 mark and seat for £100 giving a total of £350/400, now against the Play-seat, you would have around £150/200 to purchase Shifter mounts, monitor stands ETC , giving you a much better package all round in my opinion. But that is from a tight arsed Pension pulling point of view ( the state don't give me enough to fritter it away on Luxury Priced Items LOL )

@@nemesismcc this playseat is foldable to an extent with the hardware on, and pretty much completely flat without, making its profile even smaller to store. As far as weight, fair concern. I have a friend at 220lbs who says there’s no issues. But we’ll see as to the longevity

Converted to AUD works out to a tad over $1015. Yikes!

Holy Smokes! In the US, it's 599. It should be 399 TOPS. I wouldn't pay 399 for it. They've priced it in such a way as to tell the customers "don't buy it, just save up for an extra month or two and buy a real rig."

Nonsense. What's a real rig?

@StickyGeko 6 месяцев назад

I got one for 450 and love it. Very comfortable and have it setup perfectly. Easy to move about too for cleaning around it. Really didn't fancy an ali rig

You're looking at this all wrong. It's like a real racing part, if it's lighter, you're going pay more. End of story. You're review of this cockpit is excellent but look at the price for performance. It's portable for those that need it without folding. I have a question for those that have this and cats. Does your cat sleep in the chair and if so, is it easy to remove the cat hair.

You have attached the seat frame, and seat entirely wrong.

@davecamm 5 месяцев назад

In what way?

@ianthefirth 5 месяцев назад

@@davecamm watch their install video. You have the seatback stay mounted to the wrong hole on both sides (that's where the optional shifter plate goes), which is causing the front 4 velcro tabs to be installed where they shouldn't be.

Ah gotcha. It worked though 😁
