someone at flex spot watch my channel on youtube they they see i'm sitting down a lot they said
have you thought about a standing desk so after a few communications i decided to give it a try and
they sent me an evaluation one up okay so it now it either comes as only the motor unit or you can
buy the motor unit and the desktop that's up to you the box is 28 kilograms that's quite heavy and
the top the desk you can go up to 100 kilos so if you've got a lot of equipment that sort of thing
you're probably still all right so my ts 990 s for instance i happen to know weighs about 25 kilos
i think it is my desk itself is about 50 kilos so i'd max out pretty pretty soon if i put it all on
the user guide is pretty easy to follow if you've ever done flat pack furniture
you'll know the sort of thing but there's literally only about 15 nuts bolts and screws and
it goes together really easy it's just a case of following the manual you know i made one mistake
at one point probably because i'm filming and moving the camera and things around so the motor
units they were a bit wobbly and i couldn't understand but i realized that the horizontal bar
was upside down so that that's my fault i also found the remainder of the grommets in the box
there was one missing and i just felt oh maybe it might be in the box and lucky it was now all the
holes are pre-drilled apart from the middle two because they presumably don't know exactly where
they're going to end up depending on the size of the back the desk so so i used my drill and used a
little pilot hole just beware don't go all the way through the other side you only need to just take
you know a few millimeters quarter of an inch you know to get all the way in the wiring is really
easy to follow you can't actually make a mistake because everything's unique and how it plugs in
well the only problem i did find was i wasn't quite sure
but the hand controller plugged into the motor controller unit
now i plugged it into the first one next to the motor
drive and left the outside one free maybe it's because you can have two
one that one at one side one or the other i i don't know but anyway it worked all right
good idea not to bend your drill bit maybe i used my own cable ties for the for the cable tidying
that was nicely they supply cable ties as well but with glue lined you know
stickies i decided to use um i used some of those drilled a couple of holes as well
and as i said in about 15 minutes it was all done all done so i've been using this for about
two weeks now in use it is genuinely super easy i genuinely thought it was a bit of a novelty
but it's not you've got up and down certainly but then you've got the programmable button so
you just hit m for memory and say oh that's my standing position my normal standing position
and then when it's when you're down you hit the m again you hit the sit button
and there we are where you just hold it on for two or three seconds and then you've got
a couple of intermediates number three and number four i found in use that if i was like watching
something like watching a video or trying to read a manual i wanted it a little bit higher and if i
was actually typing it i'd lower it down a little bit so you know hey thanks uh flexispot they've
asked me to put some links in the description i don't earn off that uh my reward is i'm keeping
i think i'll keep it unless they send the truck around i'm going to keep the evaluation model and
why not and they deserve a little bit of a shout out because they've been extremely professional
in their approach and how they've discussed everything with me bear in mind last thing
is you will need a desk mount monitor world not wall unless it's got a lot of up and down
movement so i might have to invest in something along there unless i carry on using the laptop
and that's it flexispot thank you very much indeed the link is in the description it's their
site here as it so happens and i think they're doing a bit of a launch in the uk at the moment
enjoy whatever might be your thing 100 kilos is a lot so i'm sure you can fit you know your old
most of your gear on maybe not the acom 2000 leave that on the floor all right that's all for today
all right enjoy i'll see you on the next one next video is coming up bye for now
