    I love this mount and have two of them. This is the only mount, I’ve seen, that allows to have forward incline of joysticks. Though there is a minor issue with included parts. Step at 5:00 is impossible, because it requires two more m5 washers, which all are already used up at previous steps. Each of two of my kits includes four hugely oversized washers instead of normal size m5 washers. Those huge washers are not used anywhere and it would be great to replace them with four ones of normal m5 size. Thanks!

      I used the big ones for the joystick mount since they fit and don’t show. 100% agree with the complaint though

    @VKB Sim I have the UCM-S GL mount in front of me right now, ready for assembly. Just wanted to shoot you guys a suggestion: I thínk it's pretty clever to ship the larger parts "assembled" to minimize "in-package footprint"... but perhaps mention the fact that you have to take it all apart before you can start the "real" assembly. Didn't find it mentioned anywhere in the package or on the small leaflet included with the mount. Not saying others won't be able to figure this out on their own (I mean.. even I managed that), but it might not be a bad idea to mention that fact *somewhere*. :)

      @@KiteOfTheAzureFlame - To be fair, you will see it mentioned several times in the posted reviews on their website. But many of those comments were made two years ago, and they promised to improve the instructions. It's very sad to see that two YEARS later, said promise has failed to materialise.

    Like others folks have mentioned, I ran out of M5 washers, and also did not know how to assemble the keyboard/phone and drink holders without a link someone provided to the VKB forums. This should be added to the video or included in a knowledgebase article of some type perhaps linked from the product page.

    The australian VKB store info says this works with gunfighter MK. IV joysticks, the european store one denies direct compatibility. Which is correct?

    • @VKBSim
      @VKBSim  Рік тому +1

      The only issue is with the plate where the gimbal gets installed - the original plates are a bit too small; but, once the GFIV base has been released, we also updated the UCM mounting plates too. So, if you have the UCM for a while now, the GFIV base most probably won't fit it - please get in touch with the local vendor, provide proof that you own the UCM and GFIV and they'll ship you the new plate.

      If you refer to the updated, perforated bracket that allows attaching the NXT modules to the UCM system, then unfortunately no; only 1 allowed on the short mount. But you could drill your own holes in the other bracket; the material is soft and shouldn't have issues drilling into it with proper tools.
