Thanks Barry! I've been hoping you'd do this one.
Actually an industrial type ER-collet used in the shifter knob. I like this!
Barry back at it again with the fire reviews!
I own these 2 products of VNM and feel very satisfied 👍👍
I'd love one of these, maybe one day soon. In the meantime you've given me an amazing idea for mounting my TH8A and still having access to my throttle for flight sims! Thanks!
Do it I just got mine and it is so nice fits on the fanatec shifter perfectly
@@KeiThoNtHesiDe how much it cost
Appreciate your work as always 🙏
“When the shaft hits the balls” 🤭

Great video Barry, we've been really impressed with it since we started stocking it - Great value for such a high end polished piece of hardware!
Have the shifter. My fave part of my rig. Can’t bare to drive the Radical or Lotus 79 without it!
Any chance you've also used the fanatec h shifter. How would it compare to it?
Hey Barry, how about checking any ultrawide 49inch monitor and how they work compare to triple screen?
Hey Barry, just a quick question. I was just wondering what headset microphone you're using there, it sounds great?
so, how would you compare the sequential mode to an aiologs? A big downgrade or can it hang with a dedicated sequential shifter?
Was there a NLR Taction Plus creating the sliding motion?
Thank you Barry! What do you think about this handbrake vs. the heusinkveld Sim handbrake (the new one)
What is the lenght of the handbrake handle and with the 90°
Du you remember the height of the handle when it is in 90 degrees ?
Would be nice if that truck accessory USB on the shifter would work with there handbrake.
Heusinkveld handbrake vs the vnm handbrake what is the best
I wish they included the springs and elastomers with the handbrake though. If you want the different ones you have to buy the Pro kit which includes the 90deg handle which I wont be using. Or at least sell the springs and elastomers separate from the handle.
Where does one find racing gloves for sim racing?
Hey Barry, I'm doing a mini series called "SIMterview" and I am interviewing many content creators focused on Sim-racing. It's just good fun but also some serious questions. I have interviewed sim racers like Simracing604 and will interview Race beyond matter in the near future. Got plenty lined up and scheduled just wondering if you would have some time? Maybe an hour or so?
Please let me know.
never knew looking at a simulator handbrake for an hour was soo interesting
Thanks for great review! I'm also running VNM Shifter and totally love it. I was also thinking bout Handbrake but mounting seems to be the problem.
Another thing: are you still running 3x27" Asus ROG? I'm thinking whether to choose 3x27 1080p, 3x27 1440p or 3x32 1440p ? Any thoughts ?
Then goes into the slot !!
Hi I’m looking to get the vnm shifter and handbrake , do you have any experience with the vnm pedals to make a matching set please 🙏🏼
Hey there! The VNM Pedals will be available around the end of March. Join our Facebook group if you want, to be updated on our progress ;) facebook.com/groups/2303223886447618
I'm going back and forth between the VNM shifter and the Fanatec. What are your thoughts? I'm not too worried about the switching time back and forth between H-pattern and sequential, and my top concern is the feel. I've been playing with paddles so far, and I have a Thrustmaster coming in today but I'm realizing that by the time I add one upgrade to the Thrustmaster it's within $50 of either of those options and I'd rather spend the extra money instead for something nicer.
As someone who owns both (Fanatec then VNM), I would 100% say to buy the VNM if "feel" is priority. Fanatec's shifter feels cheap (because of all the plastic), while the VNM shifter and handbrake feel so much more premium. Sure, it can't connect to Fanatec's wheel bases, but buy a USB hub from Amazon and you're good to go. Longetivity-wise, VNM feels like it would last a lifetime. Whereas the Fanatec shifter has had its issues. I wanted to upgrade a long time ago, but held out. I'm glad I pulled the trigger for the VNM shifter + handbrake
Hi Great review I just purchased this handbrake could you please tell me what sim you where on in your video. Cheers
He was in iRacing
Barry, a very important corrrection to your video. At the beginning of the mounting section you mention the mounting bracket that came with the handbrake. I recently purchases a VNM shifter and Handbrake after your review, and I am unable to mount and use the handbrake until I get more profile because it does not come with that bracket, nor is that bracket even available for purchase that I've been able to find.
Contact ArchAngel SIM racing and ask for the mountinh bracket it comes with the handbreak as part of the kit just ordered mine and received it that way
@@KeiThoNtHesiDe Thank you, I've since added the pro kit and mounted it to my accessory arm on the rig and it's ROCK solid so I'm quite happy. Thanks for looking out for me though, much appreciated.
Which clutch pedal feels the most like a real car with a strong tactile bump instead of just a linear stroke?
Simtreks
No price on their website, just a contact button. 🤦🏻♂️
VNM's distributors do have publicized prices actually. There's a list on the site. Buying from the manufacturer is a lot more expensive due to shipping and tax so it doesn't make sense to make people buy from VNM directly. I know because I work there
@@alexbui1385 It would be nice to have a Canadian distributors for VNM.
@@IvebenKruzen We have one now. Advanced Sim Racing is our Canadian distributor. Has been for more like 2 months now haha. Had to dig up all these review videos to find you to deliver the news when I suddenly remembered someone asking about this a few months back. ASR should still have these in stock.
How much was the handbrake?
$195-$199
Better of buying the heusinkveld v2
@@SIMRIG412 you've had both?
When the shaft goes between the balls !!!
i wish it was all bumper and no spring, that was the main reason i went with heusinkveld over this
You do get multiple bumpers (or elastomers) if you get the upgrade set so you can have all bumper or all spring or leave it hybrid if you want
45:23 who else has the mind of a 16 year old still?
I’d love to see how this compares to the simagic hand brake. Imo this one is overpriced
After watched simagic tb-1 and this i would go with VNM, more custimazation, versalite on mounting will try friends he v2 but i think inlike vnm more 😂
Hmmmm...not a single price on the website. No giving me much confidence.
VNM has been around for a while now.. they should be okay to order from if that is concern.. pricing.. well its new.. id just reach out to them.
Yeah it's like they don't want to give any price in case they raise prices due to a sudden high demand

The designer is brilliant and dealing with him when he first released his shifter was the best experience I’ve had with a custom builder. Excellent quality and proper engineering you only get from Vietnamese ingenuity!
@@blacknovella they are the best from my experience.
