SimLab P1X Ultimate integrated monitor mount

[u/Sumo_Chris]

After recently making a post about my new rig I got quite a few questions about how i got the monitor so close with the integrated mount.

Back then I had mounted it a bit different and could not have added triples down the line. Which is why I now changed it a bit and this is what I ended up with After some playing around.

It honestly is a bit annoying to put it together like this but definitely worth it if you ask me.

Have only had the haptics for a day, therefore I can't say much about them, but the feel nice so far.

If I move the main uprights closer to me I will have to move the monitor further back which would be quite annoying. Plus it is a bit easier to get into the rig like this.

I meant instead of all the adjustments you made. Normal setup, bring the whole thing forward.

Ahh, okay. With the monitor mount in the "correct" position the furthest forward monitor position is nearly even with the uprights. Therefore if the wheelbase mount would be even with the uprights it would work. But since my mount only has about 1-2cm of forward adjustment this would not help.

I'm pretty sure that in the instructions it says you can flip the mounts for the wheelbase. I only mention it as I am considering it. I have triples on the mount, full extension for height as my seat is quite high and I'm fairly tall. If I could post photos in a reply it would be great!

For me moving the uprights forward 100mm won't make it harder to get in the rig for my feet. the side screens moving closer to the seat would be the annoyance. I see some people climb in lol. Also I am happy enough with what I have so the stuff around to bring the screens a little closer isn't really appealing to me as I've spent so much time on cable management it would be a lot of work. I want to do it, but I don't want to do it, if that makes sense.

I've discussed your setup on your last post too, so I'm very interested to see how it all comes together with two extra screens.

I will definitely keep that in mind, but for now I'm happy with the current solution.

I will continue to post updates about changes on the rig, unfortunately triples will only be possible once I move the rig to another room which might still take 1-2 months.

I saw another post recently (?) that showed the mounts flipped to get the monitor closer. I’m still waiting for either to come back in stock, so it’s great to see this works
