Description
The Thrustmaster TM FLYING CLAMP is a robust, all-metal mounting system engineered to transform any standard desk into a high-performance flight station. By lowering the placement of joysticks and throttles below the desk surface, it replicates the authentic ergonomic positioning found in real aircraft cockpits, significantly improving comfort and control precision during long flight sessions.
- Virtual pilots using the TCA Airbus Edition or T.16000M FCS who require a stable platform for precision maneuvers.
- Flight simulation enthusiasts with limited floor space who cannot accommodate a permanent full-sized cockpit.
- Gamers seeking to reduce wrist and shoulder fatigue caused by high-positioned desktop controllers.
- Space simulation players needing a secure mount for high-torque movements in titles like Star Citizen or Elite Dangerous.
- Home office users who require a non-permanent, easily removable mounting solution that fits standard desk thicknesses.
- Construction Material: 100% Metal frame and components
- Desk Thickness Compatibility: 0.6 to 1.8 inches / 15 to 45 mm
- Mounting System: Dual clamping screws for high-torque stability
- Adjustability: Configurable height and depth positioning
- Product Weight: 4.6 lbs / 2105 g
- Dimensions: 8.7 x 15.4 x 9.2 inches / 220 x 390 x 233 mm
- Hardware Included: 2 clamping screws, 10 M6 screws, 3 M3 screws
Integrating the TM FLYING CLAMP into a setup eliminates the common issue of equipment sliding or lifting during critical flight phases. The dual-screw clamping mechanism provides a rigid connection to the desk, ensuring that every input on the stick or throttle is translated accurately into the simulation. The adjustable height allows pilots to align their controls with their natural armrest position, which is essential for maintaining fine motor control during crosswind landings or formation flying.
Compared to standard plastic desk mounts, the TM FLYING CLAMP’s all-metal architecture offers superior rigidity and resistance to mechanical wear. While a dedicated flight cockpit provides the highest level of immersion, this clamp offers a comparable ergonomic benefit at a significantly smaller footprint and lower cost. It is purpose-built for the Thrustmaster ecosystem, featuring pre-drilled mounting holes that provide a more secure and integrated fit than generic, universal mounting brackets.
- What is the maximum desk thickness supported by the TM FLYING CLAMP? The mount is compatible with desks and tables ranging from 15 mm to 45 mm (0.6 to 1.8 inches) in thickness.
- Which Thrustmaster controllers are natively compatible with this mount? It is specifically designed for the TCA Airbus series (Sidestick, Throttle, and Quadrant), T.16000M FCS joystick, and the TWCS throttle.
- Can the height and depth of the controls be adjusted? Yes, the mounting system allows for variable height and depth settings to accommodate different seating positions and arm lengths.
- Does the package include the necessary hardware for installation? Yes, it includes a 4-piece mounting system, clamping screws, and a set of M6 and M3 screws for equipment attachment.
- Is this mount suitable for high-tension flight sticks? The all-metal construction and dual-clamp design are specifically engineered to handle the pressure and torque of high-tension flight simulation hardware.
