Monitor mount

Post by n1lul » September 28th, 2009, 8:20 am

I like rowing with Row Pro, but did not like have to look over at the screen. With some help from the UK forum folks, this is what I got.

If one wanted to lay waste to all the energy in the body in the shortest possible time, rowing would be the way to do it. (Kiesling)

Great job. Can you specify which mount arm you used, etc. Thanks, Andy

Mount number

Here is the mount I used

http://tiny.cc/2ZzAI Pricey, but well made. I am sure this could be done cheaper, but this one seemed to be the best choice.

If you look close, I had to flip the arm that the monitor attaches to so I could get the geometry right. The mount is secured with 2 8mm bolts and self locking nuts. I moved the plastic cover on the bottom of the erg out of the way and used a vacuum while drilling to prevent any shavings from getting into the moving parts. I also drilled through the pivots of the mount and secured them with screws so that nothing will come loose at a bad time.

I may add one more support based on how much sway I get during hard peices. If Ido, I'll post more photos.

while that is pricey, that is very cool. I would like to use it to watch tv with. I like to distract myself but I'm not using the erg for anything other than fitness. That rowing software is cool though.

Have you found something like this less expensive or a good way to DIY?

Thanks!
