Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted June 3, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hello All, I just unpacked my new SACHTLER monitor arm bracket for the 1,5 inch posts. It telescopes and TILTS!. Very solid and sturdy, no bending or flexing. Just like the XCS version but with tilting function. It places the (LCD) monitor much lower and generates a better viewing angle and a lower weight position. Order # SBS18B0460 AKA # 6612 Thanks to Curt at Sachtler! curt@artemis-hd.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted June 5, 2008 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 it's better than what I hoped for. Lower weight, equals shorter post and better dynamic balance, better viewing angle. Feels just like with the CRT and by the way, the Hummingbird is amazingly good in full sunlight.

TJ Williams Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Jens let me know how you like the adapter plate for the monitor you bought from me. Thanks for sending your friiend. I just have a few left and they have been slow selling so I'm not sure I'll make more.

Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted July 9, 2008 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi Tom, the bracket is great, thanks. I screwed and super-glued it to the monitor. No chance of play. You might want to talk to Rob over at Nebtek if he wants to buy/carry your brackets, since he sells the Hummingbirds. bracket post Best, Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted April 17, 2010 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 update. FYI: you can use the sachtler bracket also on a 2" post sled by buying the 2" post clamp from XCS and mounting it to the sachtler bracket. you only have to widen the screw hole due to the DIN size screw otherwise it's compatible....... sachtler/xcs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Thomas English Posted April 19, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Nice. There look like there are Satchler style dials at the ends of the little posts, do they do anything. Also can you get longer posts for it? How is it going into Low Mode? Does the whole monitor bracket spin around? Or are you just changing its angle and operating with an upside down monitor? It seems quite nice.
