It's a nice solution, I was looking into VESA mounts but eventually I went for this one because it allows me to transition from work to play (and vice versa) in just a few seconds. (And also because eventually I want to get a yoke): http://www.nextlevelracing.com/products/next-level-flight-stand/ http://www.nextlevelracing.com/products/next-level-flight-st...

Can we get a quick review? It looks really interesting but looking around the net I can't find many people talking about it. Does it wobble any? What joystick are you using on it? What kind of chair do you use with it? (Warthog + Obutto Ozone owner here but thinking of simplifying things)

  It's very very solid, I have a friend with this setup for racing (he has the chair + the wheel mount), they are made out of very solid metal (mild steel bars) and weight quite a bit, the chair + the mount weighs like 50KG the mount alone would probably weight 20 you gotta be the rock to make it wobble.

  Yes as the sibling comment says it is very very solid, doesn't wobble at all and the best part is that you fold it and free up your desk in literally less than 10 seconds. Next Level Racing makes expensive stuff but there is absolutely no question about build quality. I am planning to add a yoke in the centre and a Saitek throttle quadrant, mounted in the "under the desk" configuration (so that it doesn't interfere with the stick) on the right, this way I can have, all on one stand, both configurations for the planes that I like (yoke + right throttle for Cessnas and stick + left throttle for Cubs) I have also the other stand, made by the same brand, for steering wheel + pedals + shifter and that is extremely high quality too. I could not find a review of the flight stand but I have found one for the racing stand which is very very similar, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb_NjZJvb4E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb_NjZJvb4E I am using Saitek X52 HOTAS (the silver one, not the Pro version) + Saitek rudder pedals on the flight stand. On the racing stand I have Logitech G920 + Driving Force shifter + CSIO SKRS add-on (I'm into truck sim).

    Thanks, much appreciated.

Well he used velcro so he can remove the HOTAS an fold down the mount probably faster than you can move that thing out of the way :P Also ~20$ vs what 300-500$(?) solution as far as bang for buck goes this MacGyvering wins by quite a margin.

  Yes, there is not question about the price difference. The thing is that my setup has rudder pedals; I wanted something where everything is mounted on and I can just move away, without having to crawl under the desk to take the pedals.
