Excellent solution, as others mentioned, price is high but you get what you pay for, a good end product AND it's easily removable. Question, what kind of wood did you clamp these on to? I have an Ikea desk and I wonder if the lightweight thin "wood" material of my desk will be too weak to handle the high pressure clamps. I have a feeling the area of my desk I would clamp to will get crushed.
Hey, you can use them on an IKEA desk. You actually do not have to use that much pressure. Even on a low setting the mounts are very stable. Cheers Olsen
@George Hale Good idea i have a 3/4 inch ikea desk and am worried about it cracking the end of the desk over time, a piece of wood or hard plastic should solve the issue.
Mine just arrived today all the way to new Zealand awesome product wasn't expecting anything less from German engineering thanks for the gummy bears merry Christmas and a happy new year guys cheers
Was going to buy this and then saw it was £250+ for the set up, I'd happily pay £150 for it but I can't justify that amount, I hope I see the price eventually comes down, in the mean time I'll make the wooden mount I've seen in another popular video for a fraction of the price
@@mtsim Any news on the cheaper version of the mounts? Although I have seen some good DIY alternatives, I would rather buy some off the shelf mounts that save me the hassle. Price is a bit too steep for me so am looking forward to what you have in plan for the future.
@@drjonkoe Virpil (VPC) has a cheaper desk mount if looks aren't important. They do the same job but are nowhere nearly as well made or designed as Monstertech's products. virpil-controls.eu/vpc-desk-mount.html
Hooray! Today I finally man’d up and ordered my silver desk mount from Monster Tech for my TM Hotas Warthog set. I only have a small gaming room so I cannot get a rig. These mounts are the next best alternatives for me. These high quality metal mounts are so much cheaper than a decent rig. I originally thought they were a bit expensive but then again I have got the TM Warthog set and also the TM TPR Rudder Pedals so why then scrimp on a cheap mount which won’t last and I also don’t have the skills to build my own. They look super strong, not over bearing and bulky, fantastic mechanisms for adjusting, high quality metals and can be removed with ease when I need the desk for other things. I am sure in the future when you do not want them anymore, and you take care of them, you could sell them and get most of your money back! I can’t wait for mine to arrive! 🚁🛩
Been looking for these for ages and finally found them. Well impressed by your videos. I've literally just ordered the set. Cant wait to recieve them. Thank you
I'm using the Saitek X55 H.O.T.A.S and I'm very interested in such a solution. It's looks well build and designed. But calculating with around 250 Euros for two plates, while I already spent 180 Euros for the H.O.T.A.S. is really out of my budget. Please don't me wrong, I know it's unique and not a mass product, but maybe it's an idea selling this pieces in a bundle for a lower price, instead of each piece sold seperately. Viele Grüße.
Hi, sadly we can not really lower the price. Actually our margin is quite low on the table mounts. We assemble them by hand and use only the best materials. Cheers Olsen
Look amazing and very comfortable solution . In the video its a thicker surface and made of wood. Do they fit also for attachment on thinner , glass made surface tables ?
Seriously they're charging for 200+ Euros for the stick and throttle mounts when the HOTAS system itself can be half the price (e.g. X52). What are the mounts made of? Aluminum unicorn bones? Why not charge 500 Euros @MONSTERTECH? It'd be an equally ridiculous price.
I'm looking forward to getting the long table mount for the Warthog with a 15cm extension and mount it centrally for playing IL2. I would just floor mount a VKB Gunfighter WWII stick, but those guys are hard to get an estimate out of when they will have more in stock 🙄
these things are awesome. a bit strapped on cash because of christmas but ill be buying a set of these along with an x52 pro this year in preparation for star citizen
Ich möchte mich ganz herzlich bei Euch für dieses tolle Produkt bedanken. Lieferung war perfekt. Verpackung sehr ordentlich. Aber jetzt zum wichtigsten, den Halterungen. Die Qualität ist fantastisch, alles was an Schrauben und Muttern benötigt wird liegt samt einer kleinen aber feinen Anleitung bei. Aufbau und Befestigung am Tisch dank der vielen Einstellmöglichkeiten sehr gut. Vielen Dank und Gruß Mark
Hey wollte mal fragen ob man sich die ganzen baumaterialien im baumarkt kaufen kann oder muss man die irgendwo online bestellen und wie die schrauben heißen die ihr für die verbindung der profile benutzt :)
I have a guard under the desk front. it is 9 cm tall, 1.8 cm deep from the edge of the top, and 1.2 cm thick, a total of a 3 cm away from the edge of the top. behind it, there is a step that goes 6 cm further deep under the desktop. I pretty much figured out I will need a clamp spacer but could not deduct if it will be of any help regarding my desk. Could use some help before spending 200+ bucks for this mounting setup.
What a great product! I was searching for something like it as I didn't like the Aerosoft Wheel Stand Pro for the Warthog (Flightstick and throttle directly next to each other). I'm not aware of any other off-the-shelf mounts like this and yours. Yes they are not cheap but hey what would be the alternative? Not making and selling these products? This is not a mass market so we can't expect big companies making these for us. I'm so glad that the guys at Monstertech produce these specialized and low volume parts so I happily pay the price - if they can't make a living out of it the products will disappear from the market.
I would love to have these mounts with just a plain piece of flat metal (no holes). The metal plat would need to be big enough to fit (1) Honeycomb Flight Yoke and a second one for the Honeycomb Throttle.
Great vid, didn't even know about the small screw at the lever - maybe i missed out on mine but a small manual would be really great :) One question though, how do I adjust the height of the joystick itself? I see the two screws in there but i can't seem to turn them, is there a trick to adjusting the height?
We got printed instructions in today. :) You can adjust the height of the joystick by loosening the two screws under the small alu profile. Set it to your desired height and screw them back in. Cheers Olsen
Any chance you can put them as pdf on your website as well? that'd be great! Also soncerning the screws, I assume you mean those that you can reach below the joystick? (at around 2min in this vid, the ones capped with the shiny metal thingys)
I will upload the instructions to the website soon. Yes I mean the two screws inside the round universal connectors in the front alu profile. Cheers Olsen
hello im looking at your product for the desk stand version of the hotas warthog mount but its confusing me if I pay the money do I get both the throttle and the joystick stand or do you pay for each one separate
Interesting. As you say you are still experimenting with the design. I wonder if you've considered adding a thin layer of vulcanised rubber to the underside of the top table clamp. This may protect the table surface from being scratched or dented. While also providing even more grip.
Will you release a base that has a rotaion along the longitudinal axis ? I would like to bend the stick toward me for example so as not to twist my wrist and have a fluid motion from mouse to stick.
Good video, very nice demonstration, I was wondering if you would happen to have an estimate of what shipping to the US would be :? (sorry for asking on YT I did not see anywhere to check or ask on your website)
Hello- I am wondering if the Thrustmaster t16000m FCS mount on the site is for both the throttle mount and stick mount or are those purchased seperately??
i bought one for my warthog flight stick. i use the whèel stand pro for the throttle. i need something that sits centre and the wide bass plate on the wheel stand pro is awfuly uncomfortable around the legs. the stick being centred is key.
Could you make one with a tablet holder? For Star Citizen it would be great so I can have my tablet with GameGlass very reachable (2 Thrustmaster T16000M FCS setup).
yeh stop charging double for the USB hub and extention cable. tho. 39.99 for a 9.99 hub and 7.99 extention with some plastic clips and M3 sticky tabs. (you're taking the piss)
I looked on your website for the throttle mount, I would order as a pair of these with careful modifications would likely suit my brand new thrustmaster t1600m. I know the thrustmaster is a budget setup, but I’m only recently getting into dcs and I’m not sure if it will be fad, or I’ll be donning a flight helmet before playing in 12 months from now. Anyway could you you let me know about the throttle plates please, the thrustmaster joystick and throttles both have threaded holes to allow for securing.
Hi, sorry for the late answer. We of course have mounting plates for the T16000M FCS and TWCS Throttle. You can select them on the website. Cheers Olsen
I will be buying this product for star citizen. the price is high but I have tried other chairs and hotas setups and this I think will be perfect so I don't mind paying the price.
Hi, did you remove the rubber feet of the Warthog Throttle? I would recommend to take them off, much more stable that way and the included screws should fit.
A lot of people are using them with glass tables. I have not heard about any problems yet. Just be a bit more careful attaching the mounts. Cheers Olsen
Not on Amazon. We have so many variation for the sticks and throttle, that would be a nightmare. But we are working on directly selling our products in the US. Cheers Olsen
Thanks for your response I would love to purchase this product for the thrustmaster m16000 hotus prefer black if you make it in that color and I will need info as to when and where the product will be available thank you
I really hope to see them being sold in the US soon! I've wanted one of these for a while now, but I cringe at the price and time of shipping to the US.
Have had these for about 2 years (X-52). I recently moved my setup onto a plastic table, lower to the ground for a more realistic layout and feel when flying X-Plane, DCS, and Elite. Unfortunately these just won't stay gripped to the plastic, as both the top and underside of the table are too slick, and the edge of the top is rounded. The entire setup comes off in my hand after about 20 minutes of flying in Elite: Dangerous. The setup is great overall for what it does, but there's definitely not $100 worth of hardware or design work on each side. I'll be selling this set and finding another solution.
Yes you can, let us know in the order notice that you would like a TH8A shifter mounting plate. We already have them in stock but they are not on the website yet. Cheers Olsen
Good afternoon, I have several question: 1. I own a Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar, do you make mounts for this unit? 2. I currently have a glass desk approximately 1/4" thick, could the mount be attached to this without a problem. Thank you.
Nice products, but oh my god are these expensive. You can't tell me these mounts are 100$ each. I would love to buy some, but at this ridiculous price building my own mount out of wood is the way to go.
Doesnt seem like that bad of a price really. Maybe slightly high, but not by much. The materials used, manhours to build, and of course a small percentage profit margin could easily get up to 100 especially if it's manufactured in his home country.
Price too high in Canada especially with brokerage fees and 26% sales tax (the freight co often double what the government charges). Our dollar is worthless in terms of Euros.
I JUST BOUGHT THESE AND NOW I AM WATCHING RU-vid VIDEOS ABOUT THEM BECAUSE I AM VERY HORNY AND EXCITED FOR HAVING THESE AND MY NEW THRUSTMASTER WARTHOG HOTAS SETUP WITH RUDDER CONTROLS AND MY NEW DESK THAT I BOUGHT SPECIFICALLY WITH THESE CLAMPS IN MIND I WANTED THESE FOR SO LONG NOW FINALLY I CAN HAVE THEM PLEASE LET ME STAY ALIVE LONG ENOUGH GOD PLS DONT LET ME DIE YET PLSPLSPLSLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLS
Haha, I am sure god will not be that cruel. :) Sadly we do have a bit of delay right now, but we will do our best to not leave you hanging that long. Cheers Olsen
No worries! I've already waited the best part of a year saving up to afford all these individual parts for my rig, a few more weeks is not a big deal, especially when waiting for a product of this calibre. Thanks for all your hard work 07
This is a free idea i have for you guys who make this. Why not make the Stick mount square so you only need to drill holes. Since these are a good idea, but i couldn't justify spending this amount of money on mounts due to the fact that the HOTAS these days are shit quality and would need to be replaced with something else and it would make these mounts useless.
Hi, that's why we offer you replaceable mounting plates, so you do not have to buy a complete new mount. Also we are working on a cheaper version right now. Cheers Olsen
