- In todays video I take a look at the GRID by Simlab 'Brows'. We've all seen RGB lighting via Simhub before, but in usual Grid by Simlab style they make it work flawlessly whilst looking/mounting super clean. If you would like to know more about the product please check out the link below -

Thank god they come with carbon fibre mounts. Thats worth at least a few tenths a lap with the weight saving
🤣
At least 😁
I'm sure the build quality is great but it's a ludicrous price. You end up paying 120€ for 2 led strips, ridiculous.
I did this DIY using 2 x WS22812, 2 x 3D printed cases and an Arduino.
Fairly straightforward to control as SimHub manages everything for you.
Works great. Cost around £15.
However, that took a about an hour to sort the electronics, and you need a good temperature controlled soldering iron.
After that a few more hours to setup in Fusion 360, and print. Then adjust for issues, and reprint. The fettle the print. Then put together
I'm very happy with them, but quality is nowhere near as nice as these.
If you enjoy the DIY projects, this is a great one.
If you dont, £85 is a very good price point.
Obviously a lot of people think so as these are sold out on the Grid website.
The downside of this product is some of my advantage over guys who dont have good ABS indication will go away.
Considering how much a DDU with LEDs costs, the price is hard to justify for some LEDs in fancy containers and an Arduino.
Are you still running your bass shakers on the springs? Did your opinion on these change in any way since your review?
I have seen a similar thing from an different manufacturer Dave.
As with all things in life price is subjective and value for money for one person is not necessarily value for money for another.
It's good that companies are giving us a range of gear we may find useful.
can you direct me to the similar product? looking for a comparison here
@@steveochoa7801 Here you go.
They are more expensive that the Grid Brows though.
There are far cheaper ones with similar buildquality and Higher variability out there (e.g densu flags). I love simlab and grid but this is getting out of hand.
Ok thnx for sharing Dave! This is what i needed 🙌
Love the content Dave but I honestly laughed out loud when you mentioned the price - 85 slaps in the head plus shipping. Madness.
Holy !@)#
Grid shipping to the USA is super expensive. Dave, did you ever make your SimHub profile for the Pro Switch Panel available?
Dave's video must have helped them a lot. They are sold out.
I can do. Shoot me a message somewhere and I'll gladly share it with you 👍
@@Plymouyhianshipping to the UK is £20 so not cheap like dave said
Really enjoy your videos, thanks so much!
I immediately went to buy but postage to me in Scotland was 49 pounds. Shame, that's crazy expensive!
Strange I paid £21 p&p to Northern Ireland
£105 with shipping to the UK 😅 think I’ll increase my fov and stick with crew chief spotter 😂
@keeef23 For that price I rather lock up, ignore flags, crash, redline it,… 😅
i think we start to "normalise" money in this hobby... these are a couple of LEDs and an mounting bracked.. for 85.... and the software is basicly 90% simhub....
naaaa thats not worth it at all, only because a lot of things are expencive, doesnt mean that something "a little less expencive" makes it worth the money
Its true that its expensive and an aliexpress clone will probably come out, but we can always vote on this with our wallets.
Gotta go broke to crash haha
You're possibly right about normalising the cost of our hobby. But, if that's our hobby it's our hobby. I have had friends who spend ridiculous amounts on golf bats. To me it's stupid, but it brings them joy. That's what it's all about I guess. 😁
@@davecamm Yeah, but if someone spends 85 dollars on some Tees for golf, im going to call them stupid as well.
But that's up to them though right?
lol i juuuuuuust finished building my own, all the material costed me 15 bucks lol
I just got my Grid Brows & the quality is top shelf! I have built multiple steering wheel button boxes & many other electronic gadgets & I can tell you of course you could DIY a system like this but to make it anywhere near the quality of the Grid Brows would cost pretty much as much & take a crap load of time. Grid Brows are totally worth it IMHO.
Eighty five quid?! They’re taking the piss, aren’t they?! 😳
It's 43 dollars to have it shipped to me in PA!!!! That's ridiculous. My fanatec wheel didn't cost that much for faster shipping.
Thats nothing, its $110 CAD shipping to Canada, for a total of $224!
@@donny303 😳
I for one relate to that group which would want to buy a dash just for them leds which these do. But i hate the thought of that dash being the same format for all cars .. which isn't realistic. I want the originals dash from the car itself.
So this "niche" thing is exactly what i needed AND saves me hundreds of euros, 100 euros instead of 350 is a good deal ! :-)
Dunno what all them "smart" answers are all about, even on Etsy the cheapest led bar you can find is 40 euro for 1 bar of leds. (times 2 makes 80) , i prefer taking a high end company product over a 'dodgy seller' of which you have no idea what you will receive .. *confused*.
An overpriced GRID product that Dave LOVESSSS, a real shocker lol Its almost a joke at this point.
I hate when reviewers say they have no input, but you have a referral link under the video.
The bias towards an overpriced stack of LED's is crazy.
I find it funny before you say the price, you're trying to list off all the things you get for 85 pounds..."you get T-nuts, and some bolts, and a nice box" reallllly trying to scrape the bottom of the barrel on this one.
I'm getting rid of the antagonist idiots. I don't mind having a discussion with folks but I don't have time to listen to people's bs
What's not to love about it? Looks great, easy to use and performs brilliantly. Yep, the cost may not suit some people but that's life unfortunately. I'd like a nicer car but I ain't gonna get one.
Well I just had I think one of the owners or an employee of Grid message me, Brandon Cawker, so they are clearly watching the comments and talking to Dave as we speak.
@AnthonyTaylor I don't get what you're issue is. Too expensive? Fine, we move on 😁
@@davecamm Did you delete my comment about Brandon Cawker messaging me privately on fakebook? Did he ask you to do that, or did you do that on your own?
This looks like a great product and I was just about to buy them but £20 shipping to the UK is too much. I would rather the pricing was a bit more transparent, if they want £105 including shipping then say so, don't advertise them at £85
not gonna lie, this is overpriced as hell - you can easily do same thing (or even better) for less just by using arduino nano (or rather its replica) and WS2812B LED strips
You're not factoring in your time.
If you make some just like these for less, I'll buy 100 off you to get the ball rolling. 😁
At this price, no chance.
I use a flag box I got off Etsy. Shows what gear your in. When you redline and all the flags and shows a red bar on the left or right of the box and the red lines move in the closer you are to the car next to you.
@DaveCamYT Can’t believe the most useful thing is not our GRID logo wheel
covers Dave 😂
Hey Dave, great setup. I'm researching equipment now b4 pulling the trigger and also getting the go-ahead from the Boss (wife). What base holder is that you are using to house power buttons and the Assetek?
It's the Asetek front mount 👍
A couple of iFlags would probably be just as costly but way more functional.
They look much better to be fair than the bars you and from some of the apps less clutter on your screen
Dave, I love your videos, can you PLEASE do a track guide to the Red Bull Ring in the gr86. I’m struggling this week
I don’t mind paying a bit extra for someone doing the soldering for me. But this is the price of a couple of LED flags which are 8x8 matrix LEDs and have similar features. I guess being more compact may be attractive to some - I would probably want two LED flags to give me spotter left/right. But it is clearly premium priced. I’m surprised there isn’t an etsy/more budget option like this - all those places selling budget flags could probably sell something like this for £40-50
Does these Leds support TC with Simhub for iRacing ? So blinking for TC & ABS ? For Audi R8 GT3 on iRacing TC & ABS doesn’t blink on dashboard like the Lambo for example. It’s nice if there is also visual leds that shows if TC & ABS is active
I've not actually tried it with TC tbh as don't mind getting into the TC. I'll have to check 😁
Probably good hardware in itself, but its just as overpriced as the Fanatec QR that just got released. Its becoming a bit funny :D
People that complain about the price of these are the same people that think a McRib is good BBQ.
What i like about these is that they look small enough to stick to the underside of my monitor with some double sided sticky tape. Don't have to try and mount then to my rig. Do you think that would work ok?
Yes that'd work 👍
I have bought the brows and very like it but some things I did see isn’t quite right for example use Simhub and the ABS activation lights on the leds doesn’t blink when in-game car ABS is flashing on the dashboard on Lambo GT3 for example. It blinks eventually but too late, it’s not 1:1 in sync…
Am I doing something wrong that I’m not aware of…
Also for the redline blinking: Can I set it up for a specific RPM like blinking leds on 8000 ideal rpm for Audi instead of the higher redline ?
Last but not least. Can Simhub cause stuttering ? Cause I did imsa Daytona multiclass and was driving GT3, had couple short stutters, normal or is it Simhub that causing it ?
There is 1 setting that states: it’s good for CPU intensive games but don’t enable it if you don’t need it… don’t really know what to chose on or off for that setting…
Just use a old mobile phone with simm hub does a better job
Sorry to ask a years later, on Iracing TC, can be enable?
Where can I configure the Grid Brows in Simhub ? I have installed them an see them in "devices". But how can I configure them? Thanks for support.
Give me 5 mins and I'll upload my profile and put it in the description 👍
@@davecamm Great, thanks a lot
I wouldn't really have any useage for them, apart for a couple cars that I don't see the ABS/TC leds, like the BMW LMDh or the LMP3
A little expensive but I do like the idea of these.
I do wonder if the price is for the software and not so much the hardware. Could a less expensive hardware connect to the software? If no then it makes sense why the price is so high.
@@davecamm that's quite the assumption. Here I was attempting to give you an opportunity to use the software as a justification for the price. The countless comments surrounding the price is telling. Was I happy to see a comment from the content creator? Yes I was. Did I appreciate the comment? Not so much.
My comment was in response to someone else who has been removed for some of his comments on the channel. Not directed at you at all my friend. I'll remove it as it now has no context. Apologies if you thought I was talking to you 🙏
@@davecamm now that is the Dave I know and love! Thank you for sorting that out 🙂
Damn! Now I need this shit!! 😅😂
Mine was Varjo Aero
I've been considering these for a while, but I cannot stomach $43 shipping. That brings my cost, before sales tax, to $127. I want them, but not that bad.
Same for me with US shipping. They are clearly making money from the shipping cost.
a setup video would be helpful
These are the things that sim racers buy when they start running out of stuff to "upgrade".
85 pounds!!???? Far far far too much for something so simple... I understand that it is high quality and all that, but 85 pounds is ridiculous!
Sorry, you said 70. I can only accept your first answer 😁
If you can make these for that ptice I'll buy 100 from you to start you off 👍
@@davecamm haha, I had 70 pounds first as it is on sale (aud to pounds conversion) then watched the video and saw it was 85, 70 is still a high price though
This seems to be the trend in simracing, now its not as niche they can charge what they like.
But but but it comes with REAL carbon fibre mounting plates, you know lol... £85 and they don't even include shipping... they're taking the piss
43.00 shipping to Massachusetts? This is hilarious. You can fit these in a padded envelope! I received my entire ASR sim rig for less shipping than this! Lmao 🤣
Lol cheaper to send to USA than to Scotland!
@@FraserElphickyou must be slow bro 😅 that's $
@Simlife101 $43 is £35. So cheaper to send the states than Scotland. Lol, that's embarrassing for you.
Not what you said in your other comment. You price keeps changing.
@@FraserElphicknot sure how you paid £35 when I paid £20 in the UK
Just ordered!
@MikeDarlnutNiccum have they arrived. Mine still not shipped almost 2 months and they said in stock on the 14th when I ordered.
This is must have just like QR2 from fanatec
True ! QR2 PRO is perfect !!!
100€ is a bit too much but really useful stuff
Before you said the price, I guessed about £20. Not sure how anyone could honestly think £85 is good value.
Bet you're a nightmare doing the big shop 😁
Sold Out!!!!???? Affiliate link not good for much when the product is sold out. Hoping for a re-stock soon.
I placed a order on October 5, 2023 for $127.00 usd after watching your video. My order has still not shipped and no contact has been made to me. I hope somebody would get back to me if there is issue with shipping or stock. It's been a month now kind of sucks.
I know stock was being replenished so hopefully soon 👍
@@davecammno thats no the issue. I ordered on the 14th when they came back into stock because they told me when they came back in then I was told they were busy and thats why my parcel wasn't sent yet then 7 days later its because UPS put the shipping prices up and now their not shipping too anyone outside of the EU amd not all countries. They say they hope to have it sorted by Monday or Tuesday but they told me the day I ordered everything was fine and will take 2 to 3 days.
Won't order from them again.
@mrs091666 it's strange was they showing in stock when you ordered cuz they only came back into stock on the 14th of this month? I wonder if they even have any in stock or got loads of orders from this video and just took the orders but still waiting on them too arrive. Something is off.
@Simlife101 Yes, when I placed my order they were in stock and did not mention anything about a shipping delay.
Hi Dave, geez your comment section is getting better than a Jerry Springer show🤣 I do have a set of these and to be honest I only got them because I purchased the mpx wheel through your recommendation and got credit because the wheel was delayed. But I have to agree with you these are great, they really surprised me how helpful they are when racing, and with everything with grid quality and service is outstanding.
Yeah the comments have been interesting 🤣
My service has not been quality it's been a nightmare. 2 weeks since ordering still nothing shipped. First it was "were super busy and can only ship so many a day" too "UPS shafted us and gave us a massive bill so we can't ship to the UK yet hopefully sorted by Monday or Tuesday" great service wouldnt you say @meawayfromhome
@@Simlife101 Sorry about the problems you’re having, hopefully you will get your order soon. I think you will be happy with the product you purchased, the products that I purchased have been of good quality.
@@meawayfromhome I hope so just not the best experience when for what they are its not cheap but I took it on the fact they have good reviews in the community but I'm seeing more and more bad ones lately let's hope its teething issues.
Haha.. yep.. so expensive... Sold out!!! hope it is all through your link Dave :)
Doubt I'll be retiring any time soon 😁
Thank you, GRID by SimLab :)
£21 P&P to N.Ireland , no thanks Dave ill have to pass , and yes i know you don't set the P&P price , its more a heads up for anyone else here from N.Ireland that is interested in these.
So good they are sold out!
Darn, the product has sold out already!! Fancy sending those freebies my way Dave? 😉
Nice gadget
Great video Dave as always! I think everyone needs to keep in mind something is worth what people will pay for it and being that it is sold out, I’m guessing they got it right.
That said, for me I liked the idea after seeing your video so I just made my own. Then again I have a 3d printer and a Cnc which I’m guessing most people don’t and those weren’t exactly free.
Keep up the good work!
I see a new Dave Cam video... I click...
That’s how it’s working, in the church of Camism! 😂💪
As I’m trying to rebuild a real cockpit as close as possible, without sacrificing too much comfort, this ain’t my kind of product. I like to race without a hud as well… when flags are priced similar, i like the smaller footprint of the brows! thx for the video, Dave! 💪
Just bought them through your link. I like the look of them and can see how they would benefit me. People on here must think you're forcing them to buy the product....
@karlwatson45 no but at least call out over priced when it's overpriced. Race beyond matter calls all companies out that who I listen too. The bezel free kit he loved by the price he said was disgusting I don't see any reviews from Dave (sorry dave just how it looks) where he doesn't like the stuff he's sent that he also has affiliate links too like many youtubers. Their called Influencers for a reason
@@Simlife101 Yeah mostly like honest and real reviews but I just bought the Grid Brows and my UA-cam channel is nothing, just made it when I was young. And I can tell, it’s overpriced for sure but when it came and I installed it and use it in full glory, I forgot the price. It’s very useful and adds immersion for me personally like seeing flashing Red leds for ABS, spotter car left right, pitlimiter, yellow, blue,…flags,… lowfuel etc… just many useful things. Didn’t expected that it would be so useful and immersive but it is. Again for me personally. Do I REALLY NEED it ? NO, but then again we also don’t NEED a Lamborghini for daily use but we all want it for the immersion/adrealine/speed/power/beauty,….
Waited to long...all sold out.
Thank God I saved all that money. Dave, this is one of your pics that doesn't pass the value for money.
You've lost me
FOS
could you export the profile for us?
Yes of course.
Too late, already sold out
Simracers.... "look at the wheel I just spent $800 on.... also Simracers.. "whoa!! $80 for that? Thats too much"
Lol,😂😂 This is a relatively avg priced hobby compared to many others. Go get into RC Racing where a set if tires may last you 1 race day and cost you $50 a set.
@noiamhippyman Not comparing a wheel, comparing relative cost. Thanks for trying.
He's gone Rob. I'd had enough of his antagonistic ways 😁
@@robcampbell6099you can't be serious right? You realise this just a glorified overpriced piece of plastic, it's the principal that matters,imagine those $800 being bumped up to $2000 just for the sake of it. This isn't worth $80 + $30+ shipping
@yupskiesyoskies nobody is forcing you to buy it are they? Sure you could probably make a lesser set yourself ordering parts from Amazon and 3d printing a case and mounts and factoring in your own labour.
But go find someone to tool up and injection mold it for you on a 1 off order and see what your price comes up to now.
My point being everything is relative, you can get A Fanatec Mclaren wheel for $300 which has similar functions to say a $800 GSI WHEEL. but 1 has had more design and build process put into and as such comes with a higher price tag.
@@May2slow43 It's honestly wild to me how many people think that everything from a carrier bag to CFRP is 'just plastic' and therefore somehow worthless.
Costing me more money 🙄
Sorry mate 🤣
£85… no thanks.
Fookin £85 plus delivery charge, no thanks. Way too expensive for what they are. Good job some people get this for free for a you tube review ripping people off, shame!!
Ripping people off? You do realise you have a choice to buy or not right?
Good waste of money
Here we go again with the price comments. Let's be honest everything sim racing is an expensive toy. It's a free market and these companies don't owe us affordability. If something's out of your budget then fine, no big deal. Doesn't mean it's 'overpriced'. Just don't buy it. Pay your money (or not) and take your choice instead of bashing high quality products as 'poor value'.
It's like the QR2 Fanatec just released. Reddit full of people bashing it saying the pricing is a 'joke'. Meanwhile they're completely sold out within days. 😂
These are also sold out 😄
@@IvebenKruzen Lol I rest my case! 😆
If something is expensive wouldn't you expect the highest quality, regardless of how expensive of a hobby this is it's still a unethical business practice and compliance only means it becomes worse, I'm happy people are realising fanatec is a scummy business
Clearly popular... sold out.
Damn that’s a surprising amount of negativity, he’s not forcing you to buy it
Exactly 👍
@@loopydoopers1663 Saying you can make them yourself for a quarter of the price when 1. No you can't and 2. You're not a business, are not valid criticisms. That's me voicing my opinions.
Can you make me some just like these for that? If so I'll buy as many as you can make.
I'm tired of you now. I'll let you read this and you're gone. I'll give you 5 mins. 😁
@@reckanizeyes you can my friend made some for less than £30 with shipping these are £105
