They are clever getting a patent for that, after so many started to completely copy their earlier stuff. I know, most alu-profile rigs end up looking similar anyway, but there are just some 100% P1-X ripoffs on the market now which makes me quite sad for them. SimLab does an amazing job and they've always been helpful and fast to respond personally with anything I ever asked, even when I decided against buying something from them. Love my P1-X, will never get a different one!
this kit is the smartest simracing product ever, it solves once and for all the main issues with triple monitors..reason why I went to ultrawide, tired of neverending adjustments that were never completely right at the end. well done Simlab
Thanks Luther this means something to us! Although not our initial intention, we now believe we made triple setups a bit more relevant today with all the widescreens in the market!
@@RichardSchouteren hi Richard, any chance the store will allow to order just 1 vesa + monitor side instead of all 3, to use it on a ultrawide? it will solve the issue of the monitor tilt due to the weight of a 49", and also it will be of great help for the ease of mounting and unmounting such a heavy monitor to the stand. thanks.
@@RichardSchouteren yep, just a single piece instead of the whole kit of 3. I am currently mounting an uw 49" on the single monitor stand, and it always tilts downward due to the weight of the monitor..this would be super useful
Thanks for the video. I have two tips for you for the calipers. 1.) to measure the center to center distance between two equal diameter holes, A- measure one hole with inside jaws, then hit zero B-now use inside jaws to measure two circles apart from each other. You will get the exact center to center number (way better than eyeballing) 2.) to measure depths, use the depth rod. Also Way better than eyeballing the inside jaws. God bless you and your family.
Great review Barry! I purchased a set of these from Sim-Labs back in January......I totally recommend these for ANYONE with a set of triples.... They really do make the adjusting of alignment a simple affair.
Got a set of these and WOW! the monitors on the sides no longer look like they are dropping off, or look like I'm always going up hill! everything is on the level! what a difference especially since I've since added the Asus Bezel free kit as well!
I installed a set last weekend. Worth every penny. Advice...the flexible extension which comes with an iFixit kit (or similar product) makes the lateral set screw adjustments much easier. Also...probably an unnecessary caution...but if you wind in the lower set screw adjusting tilt too much...you may push the vertical set screws off their ledge.
It's sad shipping cost is over kill. Plus every part I get has chips and not finished right. Every product from simlab comes with no instructions which is sad for arm and leg pricing. plus every bag of screws Is busted Open when package arrives
@@SIMRIG412 I've been pretty happy with my Sim Lab rig. Not much they can do about shipping costs, but you are absolutely right about the hardware bags. I thought it would be something that they would fix if they knew there was an issue, but it seems like they're still using the same bags.
SRG - Thanks for making an awesome video. This was exactly what I was looking for for my monitors and I couldn't be happier with the product I got. Made mounting my monitors to my rig so much easier and happy that I don't have to worry about spacers or risers.
Very very good solution for a big problem that a lot of people have, like me... Thank to sim-lab for this kit and to you for the explanation. Sim-lab is a very serious Company with very good materials of a great quality. I'm totaly satisfied by my cockpit P1 very strong 💪
I hate reading instructions. And they're usually awfully written. Thank you Barry - you helped me build my GT Omega Prime and you helped me put my vario mounts together. I appreciate what you do!
I did take long look at them :) Arriving tomorrow. It will be great to be rid of the constant frustration of misaligned triples. A great review, as always, Barry!
Great review and I bought some because of it. Arguably one of the most enjoyable parts of the assembly of my rig was tweaking the setup of the three 32in curved displays with these Vario adaptors. It took minutes. This was an easy button I would buy over again. Thx for the tip Barry!
Such a GREAT product!!! A perfect example of how to make money by solving a problem. I was looking for this exact product after me and my kid spent hours dicking around with adjustments that never got the monitors close to perfect. Thanks for the excellent review, Barry.
Love your videos man! You explain so well and with so detail I really appreciate. And the way you communicate is quiet and clear. Thanks for your hard work on making, editing and producing these useful videos. Greetings from Spain!
Hello Barry I consider you a pro level reference for sim information and thank you for the passion you put into you video's and what you share with the community. I'd like your to know, what's your favorite racing simulator, what's your second choice. Thank you sir.
One of the shortcomings I am surprised you didn't call out is if/when you pull at ALL on the bottom of the monitor, it can collapse onto the stand-side bracket. because there is no top screw or grub facing the plate to keep it from rocking back and forth.
I thought they were 80Euro a piece and was debating on adding them to the order, after watching your review i felt i needed them because i know the pains of aligning triple monitors, then i checked the site and its 80 euro for a set of 3! Goes without saying im adding them to the cart! TY!
A note about those 5mm grub set screws, be careful on how much force you use to adjust them. I managed to bend two of them when I installed them. Easily replaced of course, but they were a challenge to remove after being bent. I guess I underestimated my own strength, and over estimated my intelligence. A wonderful kit none the less.
I ordered these things 2 weeks ago and they still haven't shipped. I can't wait until the XERO-PLAY™ Triple Pivot Adapters Set is available. I'm sure they are worth the wait. **Update** these things are worth their weight in gold, I highly recommend them.
I’d like to see you review their xero-play pivots for the outer arms of the triple monitor stands. They are supposed to get rid of any sag. My kit along with the Xero-play pivots finally shipped today. Can’t wait to get them so I can finally dial in my monitors just right. I’ll try to remember to report how well they work.
I find it kinda sad/annoying that you make so good videos and have been doing it for so long but you still don't have 100k subs even though you deserve millions.
I just purchased a TrakRacer 160, w/ their frame mounted monitor mount with your good review/setup of the cockpit would I need to pick up these brackets for that setup?
Another great review Barry with great information!! It drives my OCD nuts though when you don't use the depth measurement tool on your verniers when you're measuring the setting length of the 40mm long socket head caps and just wing the measurement using the other end of the tool. I know it's just a mm or two but I would have to have them both at exactly 24mm and that's what the depth measurement end of the verniers would allow you to. :-)
About damn time! Where were these damn things when I was lining up my monitors? Christ, what a pain in the butt it was. These would have made it a lot easier.
The latest release of this mounting kit in 2023 comes with the U bracket already integrated into the Z bar and also the L brackets are anodized blue instead of red.
From my experience, overlap monitor is not a good idea. It make the line never really straight. I make my monitors as close as they can, this leaves me a gap less than 1mm and just use some electrical tap to cover the gap from back. No gap and perfect straight lines in game.
hi there, at one point in the video you said you gad 32s but you now prefer 27s. could you please expand on this. many sim eacers have this dilemma and a experienced reply from could help us all a lot. thank you.
I'm looking for opinions on what other people prefer. I have curved triple 34" monitors. Should I butt the monitors up to each other or over lap the side monitor with the front monitor to make the bezel look smaller? I'm not sure how it would look and work with curved monitors. I have them butted up against each other now and they look great but, would like the bezel as small as possible. I have the zero bezel kits also and just not a fan of them as they are for 27' and are a little short for my monitors and distort the displays just a little to much for my liking.
Hi Barry, Can you recommend a Hudy allan set that is most suitable for sim racing components? I went on Hudy's website and it is kind of a mess. Looking for a set with common sizes most used in sim rigs and accessories. My sincere thanks.
For some reason this video never came up as I have been looking for a monitor solution for a few weeks now. 😟 I bought a different brand one that has the same adjustments just don't know if 300x200 Vesa will work with it as it does with this one granted you have to buy the adapter plate.
barry I am a beginner I am and I would like to get a reliable cockpit for good weather I am thinking between next level v2, gt1 evo or jcl which of them would you recommend thanks success and blessings
Hello Barry I’m looking Triple Monitor Stand’s for my 3x55” tv My problem is I’m looking at the Track Racer or Sim Lab Freestanding Triple Monitor Stands What I’m thinking of is getting 2 single Track Racer Monitor stand’s Using the 2 Center crossbar on the single stand my left / right outer arm’s and using the extra legs for support My problem is the size of the Crossbar What would you recommend I was think 1600mm ( 40 / 80 ) It’s only the size of the crossbar that’s holding me back Do you think that would work or do I need bigger than 1600mm Any help would be really appreciated Thank you
This is a great solution to a complex problem, but I see one limitation with this design. This will work perfectly well with stationary monitors but if you have a motion rig with your monitors mounted to the rig I see this being a problem as there is nothing actually holding the monitor rigidly in place. It would be smart for a second iteration that allows you to actually lock in the position once you have it. It would add a bit of complexity engineering wise, but be vast improvement.
Mounting monitors to a moving platform is never a good solution because weight slows down motion (acts as a damper) and introduces more wear on actuators.
See i didnt use thise really tiny screws. No wonder i didnt get the desired results. I had to use tape etc. Omg. So much work. Now i have to take them aprt and redo it at some point.
These are needed so much. Why monitor companies think it is a good idea to make the back part of a monitor uneven or flex in them. Samsung i am talking to you lol
@@RichardSchouteren these should be sent to customer who bought a triple monitor stand off you in the last year. Being the stands were being sold and these were in the works

Nice review ! I’ve been looking forward to these mounts since I heard sim lab was working on them.
Could you see troubles in using this in a motion rig where the monitors move as well?
Great work as always. I really liked this review, I've always wondered how different people adjusted their triples.

Hello Barry
I’m looking Triple Monitor Stand’s for my 3x55” tv
My problem is I’m looking at the Track Racer or Sim Lab Freestanding Triple Monitor Stands
What I’m thinking of is getting 2 single Track Racer Monitor stand’s
Using the 2 Center crossbar on the single stand my left / right outer arm’s and using the extra legs for support
My problem is the size of the Crossbar
What would you recommend
I was think 1600mm ( 40 / 80 )
It’s only the size of the crossbar that’s holding me back
Do you think that would work or do I need bigger than 1600mm
