Chair sitting compatible (would also work laying down too as a bonus)
The quick release in action (with the short pole)
I’ve finally figured out a perfect mounting setup for my OSR2+.
I use a glass table so table mounting has never been an option for me. Tried using a monitor stand clamp and then attached that onto a stool and such but it was clunky.
And would have to recalibrate it again if my chair height changed, disassembling it was a pain in the ass because I needed to use an allen key. Lots of problems.
It made using the OSR2 over the Handy just not worth it.
I was perusing eroscripts trying to see if anyone thought of a better solution and then saw this post showing a wide base monitor stand and realized it was perfect for my situation.
I could just place it under me and it would be just like the Handy, aligned to my body and then combine that with a quick release adapter and enjoying funscripts would never be easier!
Now I finally get the hype with the OSR2+, once you have the limits dialed in correctly with the right amount of lube and hands free setup, it is bliss
I use a similar setup, minus the quick release, for the SR6 and too can say it generally works wonderfully. Although I have some cautions based on my experience.
The device can make the stand move a lot more than you think. I think your weight will keep it sufficiently stable, but it’s going to be pretty uncomfortable and/or unstable, especially for SR6, unless your legs are as hard as a brick and don’t change shape whatsoever. It might be fine if the stand’s base is long enough so you can sit on it with your butt, but unless you find a stand with the right length, I think you would be so close to the pole that the device’s position would be too close to you. Not to mention that a base of such size would have tough time fitting on your chair.
It might not be much of an issue if you are going to remove the device when you are not using it, but I found that the stand can be surprisingly prone to toppling. I don’t think the height of the pole really matters as the base’s size would be generally proportional to the height of the pole (or the intended weight of the monitor).
In my case, I went for this stand. The pole consists of three parts so you can choose not to use all of them to adjust the heigh. You can adjust the distance from you easily, as you use your foot to keep it fairly stable. There is a drawback of the base being pretty large and getting in the way of your chair. I solved it by setting the device on the other side of the base. This also allowed more room to adjust the distance between the device and you, as well as allowing your legs to be stretched out as the base is farther away from you. Although the base still has enough weight to keep it stable, it’s easier to topple, so you need to be careful where you keep it, unless you plan to remove the device when not in use.
I’m not sure if this is a positive or negative, but due to the longer pole, the pole shakes randomly a bit, depending on how much weight you put on your foot/base. I think you kind of can make your device have more axes.
It’s not perfect, but this is another viable option IMHO.
No, you were clear. It was that in my case, the stand moved noticeably even when I was sitting on it. It could have been the softness of my chair cushion or the thickness of the base, or the balance of them all. Or it becomes a noticeable issue when there are left/right and forward/back movements.
I use a sunscreen-umbrella-stand (dont know, if thats the right word, in german it would be Sonnenschirm-Ständer).
Those things are really heavy, so, the OSR can work how it wants, it will not move or shake, or anything. Its very very stable. You can attach a vesa adapter at the pole, and there you go. The base of the stand is about 30 kilogramms heavy, and quite large… there is a wide range of those things available so everybody can find one that fits their purpose best i think…
Monitorstands are just not made for the motions and shake quite a bit. Yeah you can place your foot, or thighs or so at it to stabilize it some more… but well, i want to lay down in my chair and dont think about stabilizing the device in any way while i enjoy my time with the OSR and wearing a VR headset.
In my case the base is filled with water (or sand if you like)… so you can adjust how heavy you want it.
Its a little struggle to set it up i admit, cause its really heavy. But it needs to be. The OSR is so strong.. a fleshlight attached to it, and it shakes around 1 kilogramm mass. this creates earthquakes with fast paced movements.
If this monitor stand works for you, very nice, but in my experience, the base is not big and heavy enough to stand absolutely still while the OSR does what it does without extra support. A big ass umbrella stand does the trick… and doesnt even cost more than a monitor stand. Those things are cheap.
Yeah, it does shake a little, but it’s manageable.
Your setup seems very stable, but cumbersome to set up, as you said. It all depends on what you prioritize. (I think it would be a parasol stand/base?)
I think I read somewhere that using an exercise bike works too. Although I assume it depends on the shape of the machine to be really viable…
for easy setup you can use one with rolls for example too. stick whatever pole you want in it, add the VESa adapter to it… and there you go… no matter what, it will not shake one bit with an osr on it, thats for sure. OSR vs 30-50 kilogramms…
i just uise one where you add water to it… the cheapest once you can get i assume, about 10€ or so… i use it because i had i lying around here anyways. maybe i will upgrade it one day with one like on the picture, dunno.
I’ve been using an umbrella stand for a while now as well. Mine is solid metal and pretty low-profile, so I just shove it under my computer desk when not in use.
As for the pole, there are monitor stands that are just a tube with a bracket meant to connect to a desk (example). Remove that bracket and you have a tube with a VESA adapter on the end, which is what I put into the umbrella stand. Since you can adjust the angle on that kind of thing, it’s probably better than just attaching a VESA plate to a pole.
Thanks for all the sharing guys!! Only had tried OSR2+ once but didn’t fully enjoy it, perhaps it could be that my onahole didn’t fit me well too, but these are nice considerations to keep in mind
Yeah coming from a Handy I was surprised and disappointed it wasn’t as good as it initially.
Definitely a hobbyist device and there’s a learning curve to getting it all setup to what’s right for you vs with the Handy you can just place it on your stomach, use the provided sleeve and go at it in minutes.
My “Amish” take on the problem, cost me nothing and works nice for me if that can give ideas to someone… ( It’s a pretty sturdy chair and with the weight of my body it doesn’t move at all )
I haven’t seen a photo of it, but I read some where setting up on an exercise bike works well due to its weight. Although you might need some custom attachment and specific type of bike that has the right pole at the right place. Not to mention comfort will greatly depend on the bike.
This is interesting! I have been looking for a better way to use this device. I don’t really have the time to set up a whole bunch just for a single session. Def gonna try the monitor stand.
I have another question, how are you all getting scripts to your devices? For my handy I use Stash server on my home network and a phone to connect but I haven’t found a way to allow that to serve up scripts to the osr2+. Having to bust out a laptop to use the device is cumbersome.
Never thought of it, but now i want something like that. I wold probably just use a weight from weightlifting and some steel pipe. I bet with some mounts for vices you can adjust it even from horizontal to vertical.
but yeah i think i know what you mean
