When I had triple screens I had a hood like yours and it was great I also added some additional black screens underneath the monitors which worked really well

I tried something similar with this

but it turned out far less than ideal as even with my smallish 24" it sacks a lot, so much that I keep held up by a stack off books when swiveled over my desk . Tho ofc this is DIY, but I underestimated the play every element has, mostly in those hinges, but even the profile arms show visual twist if you look closely

what arm did you get?

@Cameltotem

Im late to the party here but this is my solution for now. Think I will eventually go samsung G9 just on the rig by itself. However, I spent my budget for this year on the new rig and Fanatec system mounting on it. So for now this monitor will have to do. I used 80/20's free tech toolkit to measure the level of deflection of an end load to make sure I could easily mount up to about 80lbs onto this arm without issues.

Looks like Simucube 2 if you zoom in.

H it’s a simucube 2 pro,took me a while to get my sims dialled in to where I liked them,but now it’s really good.

Had my rig for 2 months now. I can't believe how fun im having. 6 years I spent my years racing on a G29 infront of a desk.
This is so much more immersive and fun.

Planning on getting windsim, transducers and pedal rumble motors.

Here is mine.
The thing is like an erector set, can't keep from changing things around and adding bits here and there

Tell me about it! They brake off when you enter or leave the rig or if you just move it. I'm just gonna remove them all lol.

that will be the day you bust a toe or something else on it, guaranteed

(we use these 8040 constructions at work a lot for machine enclosures)

I had to use rubber mallet to install them, could barely remove when needed to make some adjustment. Where do you get yours, sim-lab?

I have never replied with a grammar police message, but your use of "brake" vs "break" is classic in the context of this forum and the subject matter - lol

Are you able to activate the estop in that position? I have mine on the inner upright of my rig, so I can hit it with my knee immediately should I need to.

I’ve only had to use it once, but I’m glad I managed to do it quickly!
