Q: What's your drawing style? & how long have you been drawing for?
My drawing style is a mix of cartoony and anime xd
I've been drawing since i was 4
Anime and Realistic I've been drawing since I was 3
I always thought that we all drew and that some of us just never stopped but some artists, even some really great ones, only took up the pen a few years ago after never having an interest. I think art is more about being able to visualise your thoughts rather than your ability to draw a line or a circle.
Yeah I notice an amaizing amount of Manga fans on TH-cam!!
Hi @John Doe - Try to think of the things you find hard to draw. The hardest to draw. That's how you are going to get better. Don't try and draw the same thing over and over. If you hate drawing horses because they are hard then become the HORSE MASTER!!!!!! If it's hands then do that. Jim Lee got turned down by Marvel comics because he sucked at drawing hands and then he went away and practiced. He tried again and got in. Since the 90's until today, he's been one of the most accomplished and highly paid comic artists in the world because he took on the challenge! Good luck!
A snazzy looking arm to match everybody's tablet!
Some really great tips here, thanks so much, Lawrence! Didn't even think of readjusting periodically, even though that is sort of common sense.... Also that arm is way more practical than my old setup... time to upgrade!
Thanks Martin ;) I saw these around for a year or so before I ever used one and just thought they looked cool. After I picked one up it changed my life and my neck ache just disappeared over night!
Finally! A review that mentions how it feels to actually use! I swear I've seen like five different people talking about how to put it together, and only give a sentence or so to actually using it. Can't wait to get one of these!
Yeah, a lot of 'so called' tech reviewers only unbox tech and that's it. Even tech reviewers who call themselves artists - hahahaha! They play with the stuff for 5 minutes and that's it. I test things out for two weeks - a month before I even turn on the camera. (Sometimes I will re-box it and then unbox it but I'm gonna stop doing that now). I hate that most reviewers don't know about the tech. I answer most every comment too which is why I push myself to know as much as I can. I never sell tech on afterwards either which is something else most TH-camrs do.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW Six months ago I watched your review. Finally got around to purchasing one of these a month ago, and honestly, it's made tablet set up and put away so much easier. Just wanted to thank you once again for convincing me! Just need to get the extension arm and things will be perfect!
Came back to this video cause I was thinking on using this arm to allow my desk (which is not a standard rectangular one, but a more triangular shaped since its at the angle of my room) to have my tablet on the side of it and then taking it out for when I have to use it
Looks armless and worth a shot. Also buying for the awesome "hit you in the face" warning label.
I would buy that as a poster for my wall!
I love the tutoriala, maybe it will help me in the future
Glad you like the video SA - Thanks for watching ;) Spread the word!!
The video was very helpful. Many thanks for that! Especially to see the monitor arm live in action, you understand the possibilities. Off topic, but btw: I like the accent! :) Reminds me of Gen Samten Kelsang, a Buddhist monk who runs the Buddhist Temple of the New Kadampa Tradition in New York.
Wish you continued fulfillment in your passion!
mantul ... mantab betul...
Jujur, Anda tidak melihat adanya pantulan saat Anda mengerjakan tablet. Itu karena kaulah yang menyebabkannya. Anda dapat memegang tablet dengan tangan Anda yang lain ketika Anda sampai ke bagian-bagian yang sangat detail dan bahkan membawa tablet itu untuk diletakkan di atas meja juga untuk menusuknya lebih jauh - banyak seniman yang melakukannya.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW I only use veikk a30 pen tablets
got my lx arm and put my cintiq 16 on. the screws comes with the arm are to long for this tablet, have used the ones comes with the optional stand from wacom now, hope it stays save ;)
Hey Lawrence, question re your experience with the mount itself. When it comes to mounting to a nice solid-wood desk, how much concern would you have about imprints left behind, if one wanted to move the mount later? The weight doesn't seem too distributed between those little rubber pads! Was disappointed to not see a larger rubber surface. Thoughts? Great video!! 🙌🙌
Hi Lawrence, great video! I have the 22hd cintiq but I wanted to know your experience when you put pressure on the cintiq. Is the cintiq able to float and still take the weight of my arm while drawing? Is it strong enough to handle my arm weight without touching the table? Thanks in advance!
They have a stronger version for 22-24 cintiqs. Also there is Wacom's own arm mount for similar price.
Think this will be mine for my cintiq 16 :D, pc copmponents are all black, will be great fit to them :)
I did a video a while back with the Dell Canvas about adding in RGB lighting as well ;)
Very useful video, thank you! I wonder if you could say what the clearance of the LX is please? ie: with the arm at it's lowest position on the pole and with the monitor lowered as much as possible (like at 16:57 in your video), what's the rough height from the desk surface to the highest point of the arm? (where it pivots vertically between the two large arm sections)
The reason I ask is because I have two large monitors at the back of my desk and I'd like to push my Cintiq back up to them at low level when not in use. I'm wondering if the lowered LX arm would slide under the monitors or not....(the gap from the desk to base of the monitors is about 6" but I could raise it up a bit) Cheers!
Mate, are you able to put the wacom in your lap with this ergotron? I'm used to work with my Intuos in my lap and that's the most comfortable way to work for me. Now I bought a Huion pen display and I'm about to buy this ergotron and try to emulate what I have with my Intuos. What do you think? Thanks. :)
i cant seem to find the video you mention for tablets with out a vesa mount lol
Im about to order one for my Cintiq 16, but i have a quick question... can i lock the arm in place? .. like if i want it just hovering in front of me .. can i lock it in place right there? would it handle the weight of my hand without moving?
I took your advice and now finally recieved in the mail my HX Ergotron Arm from Dell..... Now I just need a sturdy strong stable slab of wood to put on my sit-stand legs and then put the arm on with the cintiq 24 pro. I heard it can hold up to 42 lb displays.
I JUST bought the Wacom Flex Arm for my 24 inch Cintiq Pro, what do you think of the difference between the Flex Arm versus HX Ergotron Arm based on your research? Thanks!
@@kevinhtlin the HX can hold monitors up to 40 lbs of weight. The Flex Arm probably holds monitors up to 30 lbs of weight. I can also adjust the arm so it can tilt the cintiq 24 pro foward and not tip or dip down. it literally is built like a tank.
The HX arm is amazingly stable!
@@Trid3nt861 Thanks for the feedback. That sounds amazing! I wonder why people buy the Flex Arm then. HX aesthetic looks sick!
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW Thank you for the feedback!
Hey, great vids! Just a quick question - is there a release or screw to loosen the upper part so it moves up and down like in the video at 10:25? I've just got mine and can't get it to move up and down at all! Thanks so much!
Yeah, I'm going to point you at another video of mine. Now this one is actually for a different arm BUT the principle is exactly the same! Follow the same instructions and it will work. Both arms are built the same in that area.
th-cam.com/video/Ly3edS-U0NA/w-d-xo.html
Let me know if that fixes it for you! I did actually show it being done in this video but I think I maybe glossed over that part to save time a bit. Good luck Jamie! Tweet me @LAWRENCEcanDRAW when it's done ;)
Hi! I have a question if you have time to answer. I have a very long desk and I was wondering what is the maximum extension of the arm. Thank you in advance!
You shouldn't use extensions with tablets. They are great with monitors but not for tablets. You can clamp your arm to the side of the table or drill through and attach the arm at the mid-point of the desk.. I did this in one of my earlier Ergotron reviews - worked great.
You put weight on the tablet when you lean on it. That can cause movement. Movement that is amplified when you add arm extensions.
Hey Lawrence, great video. I'm thinking of getting one of these for my Cintiq 16 but apparently it doesn't meet the minimum weight requirement of 3.2kg, which will cause it to float upwards. Trying to find VESA 75 x 75 weight plates is very difficult.
Do you have any info on any of this? Cheers
Amazon and ebay both sell a lot of the vesa mounting plates. You should be able to find a nice heavy one!!
Does it wobble?
Please Lawrence... And excuse me if I ask you a thing that you have seen more time. But I've seen yours video and read a lot of comments... and now I fell confused....maybe I'm from Italy 😅. For a cintiq pro 24 that I'm waiting, what arm you recommended? And is there ad adaptor Vesa for it? Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
The Wacom Flex Arm is the best arm for that tablet.
Hi there, I purchased a ‘cheaper’ arm from Amazon for my Wacom Cintiq 22 which works ok. However when I draw towards the edges of the screen, the screen swivels as there is no way to tighten/lock the swivel joint. Is that the same on this model? Can you lock/tighten the swivel to stop it swivelling, or is that experience to be expected on all makes of arm?
Which arm is it? The Amazon Basics one that looks just like this or one of the cheaper ones that looks very different?
Ye with the Ergotron you can tighten it up a lot but it also depends on the tablet you are putting on the arm. You have to make sure that the arm is the right weight and size for the arm - I made a video about how to choose an arm. You can't just go by max weight and size because those specs are set for monitors and not tablets which are used differently. If you have a tablet which is at the max weight it might be stable when you just let it sit still but it will wobble when you draw on it - that applies for all brands of arms.
Hi,
How much flat space underneath the desk does the clamp require?
I have a solid wooden desk with a bout 5cm free room underneath the top
To be honest I think that is too tight. You also need room to get your hand under there and turn the knob that clamps it to the desk.
I had a black one ages ago but it was branded hp, was like half the price at the time too (yes it was an ergotron just hp branded)
Yeah, they have created OEM arms for partners before. Like the arm for Wacom!
Hi Lawrence! I think you convinced me - I need a monitor arm. How do I confirm my Cintiq is compatible with the Ergotron? I saw some people saying you need a mounting kit
Hello Lawrence. I remember I saw your ergotron arm setup with the 27QHD. And then I got that same setup and I can say I love the setup thanks to you!
I was wondering if I can use the same arm I bought and mounting with the new Wacom cintiq pro 24 inch? Or do I need to buy a whole new arm like this one you are showing?
If it was the Ergotron LX HD that I did my early full install series with the Cintiq 27" then yes, that can handle the Cintiq 24" Pro. Although it needs the extra Wacom bracket because the tablet doesn't have the standard VESA mount.
Any news on the HX being offered in black?? I have an all black setup and need to get an HX soon!
No. Unfortunately not. What tablet did you want it for?
Will the arm stop before the wall or will it bang against the wall and gotta take extra care to not bang the wall when moving the monitor?
Some monitor arms are designed with this in mind.
It will hit the wall ...but it's not as if it's a wheelie chair that you're gonna spin around just for fun. Mine is up against the wall but has never hit it because I don't 'wang' it around. The worst thing I've ever done is knock over a drink that was too close to the arm.
Those arms that are designed to not hit the walls are the 'L Bar' designs and they are okay for monitors but not for drawing tablets btw.
Hi there, I’m thinking of purchasing the Wacom flex arm for my cintiq 32 pro. Have you had any experience with this particular arm? Or should I go for the ergotron lx sit stand arm which I’ve seen you review. I like the fact you can bolt this arm to the table instead of clamping.
The standard Ergotron LX arm will NEVER support the Wacom Cintiq Pro 32. You will damage a very expensive tablet if you try this. Maybe not when you first mount it but at some point that arm will give way and send your tablet crashing down to the ground.
It is a great arm but not meant for a tablet that large or that heavy.
Hey nice video. Please I 've a question... is this still works with a cintiq 24? would i have to buy a wacom as well ? Thanks dude
Great video Lawrence! Does this fit the New Cintiq 22?
Yes. Works perfectly with the Cintiq 22! Good luck Gorgi.
Which can be adapted for the Wacom One?
None. The Wacom One does not have VESA mounting holes on the back. You can use a JOY Factory arm - check out my reviews for those.
Hi can I ask when you screwed the original mount off. Was there a metal circle pad under the screw or use a screw in the hole? it's hard to see from the video. Thank you very much!
Do you mean a 'washer'? I honestly cannot remember. However Ergotron do supply them normally.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW ok it’s called “washer” LOL. In your video when you screwed the top left one I can kind of see something metallic inside. Maybe there is inside.
Thanks for the video! quick question, my desk is 1m10 deep, and I am affraid it will extend to much which will result in to much movement when using, do you think this will be a problem?
That is a big desk! I know how you feel. Yes over extending the arm or pushing it to maximum isn't best. These are made for monitors rather than drawing tablets.
My advice; there is a bracket included which allows you to fix the arm to your desk by using a bolt rather than the clamp. You have to drill a hole in your desk but you can drill that hole anywhere. I have shown this done in one of my previous Ergotron videos (Ergotron LX Sit Stand for Wacom 27 QHD) and it works great on a deep desk. Obviously you might not want to grill a hole in your desk but it works really well to get your arm right in the middle and really stable!!
Check it out and let me know what you think!
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW Thanks a lot!!, this will be great solution! you helped out a lot!
Lawrence! First off, great content. Nice to see someone reviewing these things too.
I have a couple of questions if you could spare a few minutes of your time?
1. For a setup with two monitors, 24.5" and 27", would you steer away from the LX side-by-side model due to space issues?
2. Your Cintiq 27QHD is probably just the same size as my 27" monitor. With the regular sized pole variant,
how far up could you raise your Cintiq from your desk, roughly? And at the height you achieve, is it possible
to have the Cintiq / monitor pushed backwards to the back of your desk (closer to the pole mount), or does it have to be right in front of you?
The Standard LX is just too small for a 27" drawing tablet. I do have a video that is all about picking the perfect arm - that's in my Ergotron Playlist. I've got other videos on other arms that you might find useful.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Stay safe!!
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW thanks for your reply Lawrence, stay safe!
You too buddy! Sub & like ;D
Could you use this arm for a laptop? A heavier laptop such as an MSI GE63 not something small like a MacBook?
Not the standard LX. You could use the LX Sit-Stand but are you just using it as a lift or are you going to be using that laptop keyboard as well??
were the mounting points / joints greasy inside?
The joints? Yes. They have to be. Otherwise the arm will seize up and break after a short amount of time. Do NOT wipe that grease off. If you have, then nip to the DIY store and grab a can of mechanical grease to replace it. Either way it's not a bad idea to reapply that every few years for artists since we are heavy spinners. Look after your tech and it will look after you!
it would be so great too see maximum of wobbling. it would be much easier to choose ergo stand or not.
Of course you are going to get less wobble on the ErgoStand if that is your only consideration but the amount of movement you get on any arm is based on how you adjust and on how you use your arm. A skilled artist will have not problems using this arm wobble free but if somebody is going to lean on the tablet like the incredible hulk they will notice that movement. True you have to adapt your way of working with a monitor arm but nobody should be leaning on a tablet anyway - it damages the screens. So yes, it is 'easier' to go for an ErgoStand but is it better? I have to say no to that. The stands are bulkier, take up more desk room and don't allow you to move around and stand while you work which is a massive benefit to your wellbeing. Love the question btw! Thanks for asking.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW Thanks for your answer! I have Wacom 24 pro. And now I work using a box under it)) I love the idea of arm because I am generalist and usually part of my time I prefer just to use it as simple monitor. I don't lean on it actually. I even use half-keyboard on the table (better for me than remote controller). Do I have to tune up gears with the key every time& Have to say uour answer making me to think about it again))
Happy I could help! When you get it set-up Tweet me a pic @LAWRENCEcanDRAW and @Ergotron as well - helps me out a lot to let companies know that I'm helping them actually make sales ;D
I'm looking into buying a Cintiq pro 24. Do I need the Wacom Vesa mount to attach this or would it work just as fine and be just as safe without? Fantastic video! Very thorough and informative :)
The Contiq Pro 24 needs the Wacom Vesa mount. It's just made that way. The screw holes don't align otherwise because it is made to carry the Wacom Engine!
I believe there's nothing new aside from the color(?) ~ does it still wobble (slightly) when mounting a pro 24 perhaps?
Yeah but I really wanted to update my video as well. Make it more pro. I feel it helps. A lot of people might not know about the black or just about Ergotron arms in general so it always helps! Plus it's nice to see that my opinion of the standard LX arm hasn't changed - it's still a great arm for most tablets.
Hey Lawrence!!! Does it hold the cintiq24 pro?
I would get the HX or the LX SIT/STAND for added stability!!
Is there a difference with this and the wacom flex arm? Which is better?
The Wacom Flex Arm is the ONLY arm made specifically for drawing tablets BUT as far as I know it is only for the Wacom Cintiq Pro 32" and 24". This arm will hold neither.
Do you guys think cintique 16 pro is worth an ergotron arm or you think a normal stand is just enough?
Question is; is your neck worth an Ergotron arm? That's what it's really about! If you spend long hours behind the tablet then a good arm is awesome at saving you from long term neck and back pain.
I’m getting a half bottle of scotch feeling from this review. 😂😂😂
Do you know where to get an arm for a 16 inch cintiq?
Links in the description! (unless you are in a very different country?)
Great video. Do you think this arm will work with a cintiq 16?
It will work on any tablet with VESA mounting holes :D
I would like to ask if i can use this arm for a table that's 80cm depth ( I would appreciate if you can mention your table depth ), My tablet is wacom Cintiq 22. I'm not quite sure if it will. have you tried installing the arm at a side of a table? i face some back and neck issues so id like to know if it will be a good choice for me . Im really thankful your reply in advance
The large white desk that you can see in a lot of my videos - that is 80cm in depth. So you can see that for reference. Hope that helps - thanks for subscribing. Please spread the word :D
Hello :) Can this arm position your cintiq completely flat horizontally? thanks :)
No. Sorry. If you do want that then the best thing to do is actually place it on the desk itself. Or use a tilting drawing table - the type used by architects. Hope that helps - thanks for subscribing. Please spread the word :D
So you can use this with other brands of tablets?
Sure as long as they have the vesa mounting holes on the back. Either 100x100 or 75x75. You can also buy an adapter if they don't.
Is it possible to not use the middle limb and just put the limb touching the tablet onto the desk mount for added stability?
It would just be a straight up and down action then with a rotation axis where it attaches to the tablet if you could. Unfortunately you cannot. I would like to see that as a potential option though! Nice thought. I'm not sure it would be more stable but it might be an option to explore for Ergotron if they haven't already. That said, I'd quite like to see the limbs have the option to lock in place.
Which did you say more “arm” or “mateblack” lol
Love this channel
More cow bell!
Thank you for this video, Lawrence. Really great job!
I'm going to but one for 22hd (old version) it should handle the weight yes?
and if ill upgrade into 24pro would it still fit?
(if no, can you advise which one to one for 22hd using later on 24pro?)
Thank you so much :)
It will handle the 22 but You may want to check the weight of the 24". It will be at the top end of the weight/size. You can see my Ergotron playlist for alternative options.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW thank you. ive checks the size. Ergotrons max is 11,3 kg and bot cintiques 22 and 24 have alsost the same weight. near 8 kg. So hope it would be ok. Already ordered one to try :)
Again thank you. Your videos helps a lot
Let me know how it goes!
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW I've finally get it. didnt had much time to test. But now I can comfortably work only if a tablet has an emphasis on the table. if it's floating it wobbles as hell :)
What is the minimum depth it made against the wall?
It will fold completely up against the wall. It depends how close the bracket is to the wall. I'd say you can get it to 10cm. Depends also on the display/tablet you use!
Do you get any wobble with this?
I'm using a similar setup, but I think the arm might be a slightly older model, and if it's in the air it wobbles.
The monitor needs to be resting on a surface in order to stay still, and I've managed to rest the monitor on some stands so I can reach a keyboard underneath, but it would be nicer to not need the stands if upgrading to this arm would fix it.
Do you have a monitor on it or a drawing tablet? How often do you retighten / adjust the tension screws - many people don't do this after they set it up but you do have to readjust it as time goes on. Especially if you are moving it constantly and drawing tablets do this more than monitors.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW I have a Cintiq 27QHD, I've tried adjusting those screws but maybe the monitor is just too heavy for the arm. When they're too tight it can't move freely
Oh yeah that tablet is way too heavy for that arm. You need the HX or the LX HD Desk Mount LCD arm. I have a video about picking the perfect arm for the correct drawing tablet. It isn't the same as picking the right arm for a monitor. The 27QHD is a very heavy tablet. The LX arm will just about hold it but yeah, like you said, it has to sit on the desk too. If you want the ultimate stability then go for the HX arm. I have a review on that - it's solid as a rock even with a tablet that big!!!
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW That's great to know, I'll check those out. Thanks as always, I actually bought a Håg Capisco a few years ago to help fix posture problems thanks to your review
Happy to help! Hope your posture has been corrected. I've got a whole playlist on Ergonomics for artists - It's a subject I care a lot about!
Which Ergotron arm I can use for XP pen artist 24 Pro . could you help me out ?
The HX arm would be my choice. Extra sturdy for the larger size. I do have a video about choosing the right size monitor arm - Both are in my ergonomics playlist!
Thankyou !!
Any time :) spread the word!!
Lawrence are they gonna make a Matt black arm for the Cintiq 27qhd Touch anytime soon?
You mean the LX Sit Stand Desk Arm? It would be nice to see. However that tablet is no longer being made so it might be a bit late now. Ergotron are doing a lot of their arms in white. Any other colour you'd go for? or only black?
I have a Cintiq 27qhd Touch that's no problem I was just wondering if they were going to make a Matt Black finish, but if not they chrome finish is nice I could go for that finish.
does it fit xp pen drawing monitors?
Yes, as long as they have the VESA mounting holes on the back!
And im still waiting for the video how you can draw on c940.
Can you use ultrawides??
With the standard LX - depends on the individual monitor. I have a video on how to pick the perfect arm. Ergotron list a max screen size and weight - it's all about that.
Did anyone experience very stiff movements with the this arm? Especially the tilt section, I have loosened the screw to the max and it still won't move smoothly. I have to firmly grab my tablet ( xp-pen 24 pro) and put a bit of force to it which results in worrying sounds from the bending plastic of the tablet.
You could add a bit of WD-40 to the joint to see if that helps.
But could you use a keyboard easily for shortcuts and so?
I use a Wacom remote. I also have my keyboard on my desk and can just move the tablet quickly in and out as I need it. I've found the keyboard is too big to use and I don't need that many keys - it depends on what applications you use though. I have some videos in a playlist about hotkey alternatives!
Can you actually lay your hand on the tablet without lower the tilt and constantly adjust the tilt to a drawing position?
Yes. The limbs are adjustable so you have control to do that. Resting your palm on your tablet shouldn't cause an issue if you buy the right arm for the tablet. But if you lean to much on the screen then that isn't good for your tablet anyway.
Hi Lawrence, I JUST bought the Wacom Flex Arm for my 24 inch Cintiq Pro from Amazon yesterday and I saw your video today. What do you think about the comparison between Ergotron LX arm versus the Flex Arm? This arm is significantly cheaper than the Flex Arm! And if Ergotron LX works well with 24" Cintiq, do I need to purchase anything in addition? Thanks so much!
I have both. Probably the only person. It's probably a good idea that I should make a video. When I first saw Wacom's I was upset about it but seeing them side by side, they are different. I can tell you that the Wacom is ballenced differently and moves slightly differently. Obviously to handle the tablet. I haven't tested the tablet on the Ergotron but I would certainly choose the Wacom arm for the Wacom tablet.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW The interesting thing about the Wacom Flex arm is that it has been designed by Wacom and Ergotron. It's basically the first ergotron arm specifically made for drawing tablet.
Hope you are doing well.
Yep. I know. Ergotron told me they didn't want me to specifically mention that that. I could if I wanted to but Wacom didn't want it. It is basically the Ergotron HX arm with a few tweaks. I have both and have reviewed the HX arm. I also did a video about the early designs of the Flex Arm adaptor. That was interesting. I personally would like to see more tablet arms made. Monitor arm companies know that tablet users do use the arms but the amount of us doesn't make it worth it and we seem to be able to use normal monitor arms okay.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW A comparison review of both arms would be superb!
I never do comparison reviews. You'll never stop doing them if you start. Everyone will ask for something different because they are trying to decide between this and that themselves. I get requests all the time but never for the same thing twice. It's funny but very telling. People just want to be told what to buy. The truth is that every purchase is a very personal decision and I can't make that decision for anyone because of factors like what apps people use, technique, level of skill and a lot more.
LX or HX? Is the only difference HX is a little bit better looking and can take heftier loads? But both should give me enough freedom to with either cintiq 27 pro or 24 pro?
'Better looking' is subjective but yes the HX can support heavier loads AND larger bigger screen sizes. That's important. To tablet users it also means more stability. The standard LX cannot hold the Wacom 27QHD and keep it stable enough to work on comfortably.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW Thank you :)
@15.55 Righty Tighty; Lefty Loosey; Got that from Bob the Builder with my kids years ago....Invaluable to hum the Bob the builder tune
)
Being left handed it always feels wrong some how. And Bob the Builder wasn't around for my kids (Lucky me!)
I have my cintiq on an Amazon Basics arm. Same as the xl ergotron, but black. Got it years ago....cheaper too 😀
Yes. The Amazon Basics arm is cheaper because it comes with no guarantee and has not been stress tested or indeed tested or approved to the same levels as an Ergotron arm. If you are putting expensive tablets or monitors on an arm then I always suggest spending a little bit more on the arm - that's my personal opinion. The Ergotron arm comes with a 10 yr guarantee.
I understand the want to save money on an arm and it's much the same as buying a budget tablet. However, you will upgrade your tablet every few years but your arm will last a lot longer and you want to make sure you have the best arm possible if you are going to continuously moving it around with an expensive tablet on top.
Lawrence Mann I have been using mine every day ( more or less ) for the last 4 years or so and never had an issue with it. It’s very sturdy...
Hey, I'm not saying it's gonna snap on you! I'm just saying I trust Ergotron because they test their gear and they guarantee it for 10 yrs. So if anything goes wrong I am okay. Amazon doesn't offer that. I'd rather pay more for that piece of mind. I also use mine every day. I have 4 in studio and have used them for years. I have enough to worry about without that. Although I could easily make a Terminator now ;)
I'm from Indonesia, sometimes I see your TH-cam.

I work in Japan and I try to make a comic with the title YAKUZA DOKUSEKAI ... just write it on Google it will definitely come out.
I look forward to it ;) You Tube filters out links so you'll have to Tweet me @LAWRENCEcanDRAW and tell me where to find it!!!! Or shout me on Facebook on Instagram!

Ñ: creen que existe una versión económica? esa madre cuenta la mitad de lo que cuesta mi tableta jaja
Amazon vende su propia versión de marca que se ve bien y cuesta menos. Si desea una versión más barata, esa es la que debe considerar.
Sin embargo, es más barato porque no viene con una garantía extendida y no está garantizado por 10 años como el brazo Ergotron.
Si está colocando una tableta de dibujo costosa en un brazo, debe asegurarse de que el brazo sea de buena calidad para soportar el peso y el movimiento de la tableta mientras está en uso; por eso recomiendo los brazos Ergotron.
Solo recomiendo productos que yo mismo pruebo personalmente. Entonces diré que mi sugerencia del brazo de Amazon no es un respaldo.
just press R in photoshop to rotate ;)
But that means taking your hand away from the tablet constantly to reach for the keyboard. Many users don't like to have a keyboard as part of their setups.
