Surface Studio / Studio 2 Discussion Thread

So I just pre-ordered the i7/16 GB model. The things we do for love...

 

What are your ideas for increasing structural stability?

I've looked at the easel attachment design:




I think we would need I think a much more secure grip to hold the base portion of the SS, considering the additional weight:

 

My god, Rick, you got the greatest set of balls on this forum...

I salute you!

 

Just have the largest credit limit, I guess. But the SurfaceProArtist.com surplus hardware fire sale will begin as soon as I get back home.

 

@steven Ergotron stands work great with a Cintiq, here is another video showing such a setup in more detail:


As for Dual-Protocol pens, I guess the folks at Wacom might now think "to hell with dual protocol, we are going to kick MS' ass"

 

I have that exact setup with a 22HD...just trying to figure out how to incorporate the SS into it now.

(Assuming a Surface Studio somehow appears in my room )

 

Honestly, MS should really be sending review units out to you by now...

But I guess there's nothing actually quite like having the feel of that brushed aluminum truly "be yours", eh?

 

not going into a lot of detail but this is the very basic design i usually start with (or have started with for the companion, ipad, R1E etc. )
Chunk of wood glued to a sheet of plywood with dowels, build a simple & cheap pipe clamp based vise on the backside and then shifting around bits & pieces, cutting holes for heat circulation into the plywood and so on until i have a weight distribution that's ok.
Doesn't even have to be pipe clamps, i just have them anyways so i use them.

@kvoram:
been using the ergotron LX dual stack for the 21ux, 22, 24 and 27 as well as for cintiq companion, ipad, r1e and for books. I love that arm-setup!

 

That looks really cool!

If you have a recommendation for a good set of clamps, please post as might pickup a set if I want to embark on a little DIY myself!

 

Wow! did you get shamelessly rich all of a sudden?!?
