Obutto R3volution - Worth the Money?

Here is the site where you buy the Obutto from.

Near the top, you will see a link to accessories, and it explains the compatibility and such. I think the only accessory of the R3volution that can't be added to the Ozone is the articulating acrylic tabletops, and that's because of the way they attach to the spine of the cockpit.

Thanks Fumanchu!

The keyboard tray that comes with the ozone works well on the side I use it like that.depends on your size and how high your wheel is on whether or not the tray will easily swivel in and out of your lap. What's cool is if you buy the articulating one also you can mount both and have an extra table. Don't forget the cup holder! I sat I'm my ozone most of the day working on the computer and racing. I am more comfortable with the keyboard in my lap and the mouse and remote controls and stuff on the tray. The padding on the tray is awesome for PC gaming mouse work.

Sorry for double post but Ive been wondering about these questions..yes I have more questions!

Which triple moniter stand is better for the ozone cockpit? I believe both work for either rig. I did buy the ozone recently and it is on its way. I did not get the triple moniter stand yet just because I was unsure which one was better and possibly more stable. As of the moniters I'm using 21.5' moniters (3).

I've also heard that the r3volutions keyboard is much better? And a must upgrade for the ozone owners. So if you have the R3volutions keyboard and experienced the ozone keyboard would you consider it a "must upgrade"

Try out the keyboard tray that comes with it for a while, it might work perfect for you. The r3v one can move much more freely. As for the monitor mount the ozone triple monitor mount can't quite achieve the angles of the one on the r3v however with a 21 inch monitor you will be able to get much more angle than if you ran a 24 or 27 so again it may work. Obviously the r3v mount is free standing and not connected to the rig so stability isn't really an issue at al, and it would also give you the ability to get the monitors right up in your face.

Sounds good! Thanks for your thoughts on the keyboard and triple moniter stand. Wait so my 21.5' moniters would be stable and better on the ozone triple moniter stand vs the r3volution triple moniter stand. I'm not sure if you have used both but believe it or not on mainperformancepc.com I've seen reviews where people are complaining about the r3volution triple moniter stand. I haven't checked for the ozone triple moniter stand though.

I would take a real look at the ozone, it's still an amazing rig and you could add the r3v monitor stand or go with one from fast track sims or simseats and still save a ton of cash leftover..

A couple of drawbacks of the Ozone are no mounting holes, wheel plate cannot be tilted, and the seat. At first, I really liked the seat. After time in the seat, the lack of lower back support and upper back (shoulder support), and no head rest began to take its toll. The seat seems like it is made to be used with a helmet. It's driving me nuts trying to find materials around the house to add support. Perhaps a properly fully padded car seat cover would help.

Too bad I can't yank the driver's seat out of my Toyota Solara, my son drives it

No I have not used both, I'm still running a single moniter on my ozone but I'm just about to pull the trigger on a triple mount, I'd say based on what I've read on the iracing forum is the ozone mount is a great cheap alternative but the downsides are limited angle, wobble during big moments due to the fact the moniter is connected to the actual rig, and not being able bring the moniter closer to you. If your concerned about the r3v mount check out simseats, they have a very nice triple moniter mount.

Sorry for double post again..

Recently I've been looking at the simseats triple moniter setup for a possibly buy..looks awesome. And I'm sure I can put my obutto ozone with the triple moniter screen as well. I have looked at the ozone triple moniter, r3volution triple moniter setup and more. From what I've heard seen is that simseats has the best triple moniter setup as of stableness. Then the r3volution followed by the ozone triple moniter setup.

Thoughts?? Which would you prefer as your triple moniter setup?

Well I'm in exactly the same boat as you and I'm leaning towards the simseats mount. It looks like a great mount and I really like the system they have that allows you to mount speakers and button boxes to the stand. I've exchanged a few emails with Zach from simseats and he seems like a quality dude.

Thinking the same..after a long time I've been looking at the r3volution mount then hearing simseats triple mount I was like wow that's awesome looks wicked a lot of adjustments on it even patterns on it and a lot more plus I believe I could slide that on the outside or inside of my obutto ozone cockpit.
