1 August but I believe that's when it arrives in port. Probably middle of August.

For us owners of Obutto v1 here's hoping they offer the monitor mount and arms as a separate purchase. I wouldn't mind upgrading mine to the newer one, if all three monitors are as adjustable as the center one in Chris's newest video.

Panther,

Hoping for a SimHQ review of the new 'pit sometime after mid-august wink

I'm looking seriously at this one but there's a few questions I have about it that the vids don't asnwer, like how far aft can those monitor mounts stretch (for side panels ala Helios), and can the monitor mounts be attached to the seat rails instead of the 10 and 2 o'clock positions of the front frame.

Also, as far as the stick and throttle mounts are attached: I have a stick shaft extension for my WH and don't know if the front of the seat cushion will interfere with full aft control movement, and that's if I can actually mount the stick low enough to take advantage of the extension in the first place.

The Revo looks really nice but IMO it's still a racing cockpit that's been modified for HOTAS use, not a flight sim cockpit. I do however love the idea of an all-in-one workstation/pit.

It is nice to see a wife worry this way for a change! Most of the time it is the husbands that have to worry in this fashion! Personally I have been denied the opportunity to go through this relationship-enriching experience because Obutto does not ship to Africa! banghead Well, actually that is not strictly true but getting the whole set up to my location would probably cost just as much or even more than the pit itself! sigh

Wow, 40? That must've cost a pretty penny. wink

I enjoyed the review, made some great points about the cockpit. It's cheap, and it's great all-around for gaming - especially people who don't play many sims like myself.
