How to use an SR6 in bed (short video guide)

I’ve been asked a few times whether an SR6 can be used in bed, so I decided to create a short demo (~2.5 minutes) showcasing my favorite way to mount an SR6 :blush::

SR6 Model:

Laptop Stand:

Motion is generated by a demo behavior I wrote in AyvaScript using Ayva Stroker Lite.

The slow jam jazz trumpet music is pretty funny.

Looks like a very comfortable way

Would this mounted to a vesa 100 and swing arm attached to a bedside table or worn with belts work? Its for the ors2 rather than the sr6 though.

I was thinking about something like this after I bought a new monitor (AW3225QF) and removed the stand to attach to monitor arms on my desk. That stand would be perfect if I had a VESA mount for OSR2+

That looks like it would be nice for maybe 5min the metal plate between the legs looks cold and uncomfortable also it looks unsteady swinging around almost falling over at some points maybe only because there was no friction going on.
Tell me if this idea is any helpful is modifying the position maybe have 2 favorites :wink:

First obtain a few bungee cords any size should work because there will be rope extensions on each end
Connect a magnet on a I hook to one end of the string. This is for quick disconnect for egress and Degress from the laying position buy pulling the magnet away from the metal laptop tray thing
Fiend something flat that can sandwiched under the bed
Perhaps a little case with a handle may work for this or wood with a hole
Now with the rope connected from under the bed diagonally from metal laptop legs snap that magnet onto thus creating a triangle
And there you go bing bong
Add additional webs if into kinky stuff

Also you chair guy I bet the Amish mount is fairly steady do you think this may work with so this smaller like maybe a smaller step / sitting stool

That sounds… complicated :face_with_spiral_eyes:. I think I’d have to see it to understand it. :upside_down_face:

As for my method—actually the laptop tray can’t “fall over” because of the legs. The user’s legs lay on top of the legs of the tray to keep it in place.

Its not really “cold” but I suppose if that were an issue there’s no reason why you couldn’t put something soft like a towel, blanket, or pillow around the contact points.

I think this works really well for me because of how simple it is.

Yep probably will not fall over due to the contact with the inner thigh muscles

Ah, I understand your idea.

Yeah thats more than I need. I’m fine with my legs holding the tray in place. But thanks :slight_smile:

Any updates on this? Can anyone build me this mount setup? I will gladly pay.

Which setup?
If it’s the laptop stand setup you just get this exact mount and screw it to OSR
That’s literally it, I have it, the hardest part was to find this exact mount
(then I had to config R axis limits so OSR2 stops trying to unscrew itself but that’s it)

It has some problems with stability (the bed is soft so it softens the script curves) but othervise it’s great

Would something like this do the trick? I was thinking I can just have this and put some blankets on top of the base and use my thighs/ legs to have the mount be stable while in use.

This could work if the platform is big enough and it’s tall enough
Laptop stand platform is quite larger then it seems to be

I would say it needs at least 25cm of platform to not try to flip too much when you are holding it

This one won’t work as it can tilt

I have an sr6, based on your experience, would it be too heavy for this laptop stand? Also, your legs go under the mount or over the mounts legs?

Weight doesn’t really matter, I would somewhat trust it with up to 5-10kg I think
The main problem is dampening caused by the fact angles allow ~3deg shift leading to 2cm inaccuracy (i.e. the acceleration will be limited to) and the fact bed is soft allowing some 3deg tilt
Maybe adding extra weight for stability would actually help

Legs go over or to the side, cannot go under it just because you can’t screw the device not exactly in the center without making new holes
(maybe I should make a couple of new holes and try with legs under it, could be cool. Or try with just 2 bolts to check how good it’d be)

You could try this, I was using it by sitting on it with my legs in my chair before but I think it would work great laying down.

I ended up getting an extra tall pole extension and using it on the ground instead thats what worked best for my setup.

I have a thread about it here

Also this one does have tilt but I’ve never had issues with it moving by itself, I’m using a 25kg motor OSR2+ and have the mount at a ~15 degree offset

…slight tangent, the first thirty seconds of that video completely explain the SR6 to me! Always wondered what they’d look like in first person…
