F16 Deskpit presentation: how it’s made

So, once a friend of mine asked about something that can host and hold all the devices all around. We started to think about the Deskpit.

The Deskpit is trying to be as close as possible to the dimensions of the F16, and actually we have some feedback from some customers. They told us that the dimensions are correct to be used in VR situations, in virtual reality.

As you can see, on this device we have an ICP, a DED, and also the MFDs. The MFDs came from Thrustmaster. We put the screens on the back, and all the devices are mainly made with high-density PVC. That’s a very strong material that’s easy to engrave and work with, and it lets us obtain what we want.

All the stuff in here is made by control machine duty. This is cut and bent — all the things are cut and bent or folded. And we do all the things in the Company.

I think this is a good point to start, to host also other devices all around that different people are making.

The measurements, as I told you before, are more or less correct (I have to say more or less, but I think that is almost correct). We also have the chance to put a 10-inch monitor in the front part to have the center pedestal — at least the top part — correctly displayed.

We also have our famous ICP PRO that works correctly and you can use it. Some people say they managed to hold the desk with one hand on the tarmac — it’s something very important to do.

I hope that people will enjoy it, and soon we will show you a full set with the Monstertech configuration.

Thank you so much, I hope you like this small baby!
