00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,000
now normally whatever I'm making a video about sits here on the table in front of

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:11,599
me but the item we'll be reviewing today simply doesn't fit here and no that

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:16,840
wasn't a cheap shot at your mama but rather a factual observation about the

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:21,000
oo Revolution a gaming cockpit that I

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:22,960
combined with three LG 31 muu 97 4K

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:29,279
monitors the Standalone video about which is coming soon by the way to make

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:30,920
the ultimate workstation computer setup

8
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:35,200
that is taking up about half of my living room at home where I have to film

9
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:40,190
it at the moment so is it worth it compared to a traditional desk and chair

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:45,009
well let's find out shall

11
00:00:47,879 --> 00:00:56,079
we experience silent performance with the new Cooler Master silencio 652 s

12
00:00:53,399 --> 00:01:01,519
minimalist design maximum compatibility click now to learn

13
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:03,719
more in all begins with the package the

14
00:01:01,519 --> 00:01:10,000
revolution comes in two boxes one for the racing style seat and another large

15
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:12,040
extremely heavy 49 kg to be exact box

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:18,439
for the remainder of this diabolical Contraption so it's well over 100 lb and

17
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:23,040
made of thick steel tubing and steel plate now this baby May cost $1,000 once

18
00:01:21,479 --> 00:01:27,360
you equip it with a couple of optional accessories but there is no question in

19
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:32,560
my mind about whether the ruggedness of the construction matches the price tag

20
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:36,720
this setup process is how do I describe this kindly you know how model kits have

21
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:42,399
skill levels on the side of the package well Ikea would be the easy level and

22
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,680
this would be the insanity level all the

23
00:01:42,399 --> 00:01:47,320
parts are neatly labeled and packaged mind you a couple of them were labeled

24
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:51,479
in correctly thankfully though I know the difference between a lock washer and

25
00:01:48,759 --> 00:01:54,920
a nut and everything in the Box was amazingly well protected and arve

26
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:59,399
looking absolutely perfect you can tell they really care about these things

27
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:03,280
getting to the customer in one piece but the incl written instructions are

28
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:07,439
frankly awful with illustrations that are too dark to see and many steps

29
00:02:05,039 --> 00:02:11,879
either missing or contradicting the video instructions which thankfully by

30
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:15,599
contrast are excellent if a little needlessly difficult to find on the

31
00:02:13,239 --> 00:02:20,400
aotto website overall the process took about 3 to four hours with the help of

32
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,920
my wife and the help of my 2-year-old so you could probably do it yourself in

33
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,519
about 3 to four hours but another pair of hands is definitely nice to have

34
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,680
around for certain steps like mounting the monitor on the vase amount but once

35
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:35,200
it's over do you feel rewarded for your effort well let's take a quick tour of

36
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:39,560
the unit shall we we'll start with the main frame which consists of two bottom

37
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:44,239
Runners a main shaft that ends in a rubber grippy covered plate that can be

38
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:48,280
oriented facing up or if you're willing to get a little creative kind of towards

39
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:52,360
you and is pre-drilled for Vasa compliant monitors and some popular

40
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:56,280
racing wheels and two phenomenally robust side pieces that form a little

41
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,480
cage around your feet now from the look of this whole assembly you'd think that

42
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:05,120
it supports the user the monitors and a fully stocked beverage cooler but it's

43
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:09,280
actually just a way overbuilt starting point that everything else attaches to

44
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:12,640
the footrest with the thoughtfully pre-drilled holes for pedals attaches

45
00:03:11,239 --> 00:03:17,000
with four bolts through the sides and can be positioned forwards or backwards

46
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:20,959
with a variety of different bolt holes and can then be angled according to your

47
00:03:18,799 --> 00:03:25,319
preference with another two bolts optionally there's also a kit to bolt

48
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:29,760
two fully articulating arms that terminate in tiltable Vasa plates for

49
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:34,080
cockpit instruments or other access accessories and that come with acrylic

50
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:37,560
keyboard and mouse rests that go on them by default now I've read a number of

51
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:43,120
user reviews for this product and it seems like the general consensus is that

52
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:46,599
this combo is a musthave but I suspect the folks writing these reviews sit a

53
00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:50,599
little higher in their seats than my petite 5' 6 in frame allows me to

54
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:55,159
because thanks to their lack of height adjustment I didn't find them very

55
00:03:53,239 --> 00:03:58,760
comfortable to use and spent most of my time with the stock keyboard and mouse

56
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:03,680
plate which thankfully is height adjustable with a simple turning wheel

57
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:07,879
and plate is probably the right word for that thing it's solid steel with

58
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,640
reinforcement bars underneath and attaches via an articulating ARM on the

59
00:04:09,959 --> 00:04:16,320
left side of the Rails that support the seat and then bolt into the main frame

60
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:20,560
it's covered in a cloth type mouse pad material that my M45 Mouse tracks

61
00:04:18,359 --> 00:04:24,720
perfectly on and I found quite pleasing to the touch and it can be easily

62
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:28,800
positioned exactly where it's most comfortable I did have some complaints

63
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,919
about it though I was able to solve the issue where the joint swung too freely

64
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:37,840
making it kind of hard to keep my peripherals in one place by simply tightening the joints with one of the

65
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:40,160
included Allen keys but the SAG of this

66
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:45,680
thing wasn't as easy for me to address now OB is aware of the issue with like a

67
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:50,720
huge gigantic metal thing hanging out from you know one one mounting point and

68
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:56,680
they actually include these little screws that you can use to compensate

69
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,880
for some seg the issue is that my angle

70
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,880
mount that sticks out of the left side of the chair wasn't quite manufactured

71
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:07,080
within acceptable tolerances so while the platform is level when swung out

72
00:05:04,919 --> 00:05:10,880
away from the seat it's very saggy when it's in the proper position the good

73
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:14,199
news is that diying a solution to this would likely be as simple as jamming a

74
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:18,680
washer or two into where the ARM mounts to the base or bending it myself and

75
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:22,919
that would only have to last until O's at least if online feedback is to be

76
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:26,960
believed excellent support sends a new unit of that piece on the subject of

77
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,400
support let's move on to the monitor mount which unintuitively although I can

78
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:36,000
see they did this way so that movement in the chair doesn't shake the monitors

79
00:05:33,479 --> 00:05:40,479
is actually a completely separate freestanding component of the entire

80
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:44,280
setup the two sidearms attached to base runners with bolts then are held

81
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:48,479
together by two sliding tubes that go inside that and then another one that

82
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,360
sits over top of it that has a reinforced piece with an articulating

83
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,319
ARM and a Vasa plate on the end that gives you distance control depending on

84
00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:00,400
your screen size and resolution tilt swivel pivot and a little bit of height

85
00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:05,199
adjust which is is handled with this screw right here but while it has all

86
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,639
the features that I'd want to see on a checklist and the optional triple

87
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:13,360
monitor mount with its two additional Vasa plates on articulating arms mounts

88
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:17,880
to the existing setup very easily the implementation of the monitor position

89
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:22,080
adjustments is probably the weakest part of the entire cockpit a variety of

90
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:26,199
lengths of the necessary bolts are included but I had to fabricate my own

91
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:30,840
spacers to keep them from damaging the backs of my monitors and I needed two

92
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:35,800
Allen Keys a rench a level and an assistant to get the monitors all

93
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:39,759
reasonably well aligned height needs to be basically guessed at since you have

94
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:43,800
to support the ARM to mount it and then it'll seg once you let go and tilt

95
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:49,400
adjustments are a problem for the same reason and because the only lock for

96
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,039
tilt is to wrench the crap out of one

97
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:55,599
screw and then hope that the friction keeps it in place the problems aside I

98
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,280
do have to admire the versatility of aadu system and I don't know how they

99
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,120
could have done it better while keeping the whole thing affordable you can get a

100
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:07,000
wider range of height control if you lift up the entire thing and screw it on

101
00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:10,479
with a different set of bolt holes depending on your height and the

102
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:15,360
monitors that you're using I'm using the middle one which I found was ideal for

103
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:16,680
my triple 31in displays or a single

104
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:23,960
larger one it would probably be good for that as well but it'll work with basically any display with a 50 100 or

105
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:27,639
200 mm Vasa bolt pattern if I had three smaller displays though I'd likely use

106
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,280
the lowest one since I'm pretty short but that's the flexibility that it gives

107
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:35,960
you let's move on to the seat and general ergonomics the seat gets both

108
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:40,199
positive and negative feedback from me it's pretty comfortable though maybe not

109
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,120
as wide as some of the folks at the upper range of obudu supported weight

110
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:48,319
might prefer and the construction is pretty good with mesh in the areas that

111
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:52,960
heat up and this pretty cool carbon fibery pleather elsewhere the seat is

112
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:56,319
mounted to two kind of frame pieces which sit on the floor with scratch

113
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:59,800
protectors at one end and then are bolted into the main frame at the other

114
00:07:58,039 --> 00:08:02,520
end although scratch protectors as side I would definitely recommend putting

115
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:07,280
this whole thing on some carpet scraps if you really care about your floor and

116
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:12,000
then the chair is bolted to that using one of two sets of holes the normal ones

117
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:15,840
and then the short people ones like a standard car seat it can be reclined and

118
00:08:14,159 --> 00:08:21,039
slid forward and backward from there giving the revolution nearly Limitless

119
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:23,240
ergonomic options but I have a couple of

120
00:08:21,039 --> 00:08:28,120
issues regardless the first one which is easily resolved is to do with how time

121
00:08:26,039 --> 00:08:32,440
consuming these adjustments are between all the different bolts and wrenches and

122
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:36,680
the way that adjusting one thing can create a chain reaction of other

123
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:40,200
adjustments like if I move my cup holder and you know shift Mount forward then I

124
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:45,360
might need to move my monitors and my chair and my footrest um it's a bit of a

125
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:49,279
pain but like I said it's easily resolved just by spending some time on

126
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:53,519
it the second issue is a bit trickier but I think ties in really nicely to my

127
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:58,640
conclusion for the obutto revolution as a workstation the chair lacks the one

128
00:08:55,959 --> 00:09:02,480
adjustment that I really needed height I like everything else where it is but I'd

129
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:07,880
like to sit a couple of inches higher and that's the real strength of this

130
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:13,600
product even if it's not perfect out of the box it is a fantastic foundation if

131
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,839
you want to you know run out and grab a car seat at an auto junkyard that's you

132
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:22,160
know more tier liking and fabricate a cheap mounting adapter or Riser or add

133
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:26,200
pretty much whatever else you want to it I mean there are some minor complaints

134
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,640
that I haven't covered already uh Cable Management could have been given some

135
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:33,160
more thought with random Velcro straps being the only real solution that I came

136
00:09:31,079 --> 00:09:37,240
up with uh getting in and out of it is a bit of a bear even when my bloody cat

137
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:42,040
isn't sitting on it I mean this thing is like a feline magnet and the wife

138
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:45,160
approval ranking for this product is fairly low unless you have somewhere

139
00:09:43,959 --> 00:09:51,399
that you can put it where she'll never have to see it but all of that aside for

140
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:56,160
$800 especially when you compare that to a standalone desk and chair it's an

141
00:09:54,040 --> 00:10:00,720
astonishingly well-built product especially if you can get some use out

142
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:04,240
of it for gaming as well as work which I'll be getting into more in my

143
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:08,839
follow-up video Once ASUS ships me a few Rog Swift monitors to hook up to it

144
00:10:06,959 --> 00:10:13,760
speaking of hooking up our buddies over at churro asked us to introduce their

145
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:17,720
new churo tough 9,000 milliamp battery Bank a great addition to a travel bag

146
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:22,120
for campers hikers skiers snowboarders or really anyone else that loves to

147
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:25,959
spend time in The Great Outdoors Great Outdoors I don't think I've played on

148
00:10:23,959 --> 00:10:29,519
that server before either way the tough is dust proof water resistant and shock

149
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:33,440
resistant and even has a Time tiny little LED flashlight and they also have

150
00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:37,079
a new addition to their Cable lineup a two-in-one version of their danboard

151
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,959
micro USB cable that we showed off last time that includes an adapter for the

152
00:10:38,839 --> 00:10:44,800
apple lightning connector that way even if you're an Apple or Android Zealot

153
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,600
