I have two of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001BWT2PA/
And two of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01A6KJDFG/

Less of a footprint than a tripod, and more stable.

UK peeps: Clamp & Black Pole

u/AviateX14 · 3 pointsr/Vive

I'd suggest getting some ceiling supports instead and a camera clamp, they take up far less space. I got two of these supports and two of these mounts. They take up about as much floor space as your phone would, and they're very very stable. Plus they only take a minute to set up.

I have had success previously using the below, over a year with no issues. I did however add velcro to the top as they did not work so well with sloped ceilings before, but they worked perfectly with flat ceilings.

u/davedontmind · 2 pointsr/Vive

They look good, but a bit expensive. I went for 2 of these which are less than a quarter of the cost, although I did need to add 2 of these to mount the lighthouse to the pole. Total cost for everything to mount 2 lighthouses: around £46.

Makes my room look a little bit like a building site, but it does mean I can move my setup between my seated gaming room & my room-scale room easily.

u/daveyouremywifenow · 2 pointsr/Vive

Careful with lighting stands, the lighthouses have motors in them which can cause a wobble on lighting stands even more than on tripods. It's very slight, but very annoying when you notice it.

Tension rods, like this(with these), are sturdier and have a much smaller footprint too, so you can have a bigger playspace.

u/amapatzer · 2 pointsr/Vive

Well in that case if you're going to buy tripods anyway, maybe just start with those and see how well they work for you?

I have these poles:

And these to attach the lighthouses to the poles:

Tbh. I think they work perfectly fine for me, but I am sure you will be able to find something better. I just bought those because they were cheap and could be delivered quickly and they didn't have horrible reviews ;)

u/eras · 1 pointr/virtualreality

I used ceiling props in conjunction with the clamps /u/Isokivi mentioned. They take very little floor space and need no drilling.

u/Simpanra · 1 pointr/Vive

Nice idea, but way more expensive than necessary on the poles, save 30 quid and get these instead; http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001BWT2PA?colid=3375D49PDJ5OP&coliid=I2TH5LS6EGK1M1&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl

u/Super_Scooper · 1 pointr/Vive

On phone so apologies for horrible formatting of the links. I bought this stand
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B001BWT2PA/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Along with this bracket
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01A6KJDFG/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's not completely ideal as I'm effectively using the stands upside-down as the extension bit is to thin for the bracket to fit around. The brackets themselves are also a little flimsy but seem to hold fine. Means you can get the recommended setup angle and have them completely up in the corner of rooms maximising your vertical height and minimising chance of occlusion.
For me it works well as I didn't want to drill holes in the walls and I wanted a quick method of moving it around for demoing to people.

u/nexiusevaro · 1 pointr/PSVR

i vote cardboard.

I am pretty tall and found tacking it way up on the wall on a piece of cardboard let me aim it down slightly and get pretty good arm length coverage in the camera's view. Adjustable a few ways that was as well. There are a few post up right now about various ways to hook it to the wall that are somewhat in jest but can give you a few ideas about how to wall fix it.

If i were to do it again I would get the extendable tubes that have a camera mount on them rather than the 2 tripods I got for the vive rig's base stations. The tripods transmit and enhance vibration to the point to where I had to put in shock pads at their bases. I got a pair of the fovitec tripods. Great, but at the height I have them they really pick up floor vibration without the pads. If that's not a potential issue for you, they were nice for the price.

Something like this is what I would do if I did it over:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001BWT2PA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
much smaller footprint this way too!
down towards the middle of the page you can see a couple mount types that would fit it as well

Luck,
nex

u/lWerdnal · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I used the supports and clamps . Look to be a bit cheaper than the ones above and they work perfectly. Great as a portable option too.

u/Glowbeast · 1 pointr/Vive

I've got a GTX 1070, running 3 monitors and a Vive without any issues.

Have my lighthouses on lighting stands at the moment but thinking of getting a pair of these for the smaller footprint (hoping they can be mounted on the window sill) and higher angle:

u/Arioch53 · 1 pointr/Vive

Not games but, I bought some contractor poles to mount the lighthouses. I make better use of my available space due to better and more reliable coverage than just putting the lighthouses on shelves and stuff. I didn't have to drill holes or damage anything to put them up. My setup is portable if I want to move it elsewhere.

I picked these, but there's lots of other options such as tripods, etc.

I've got these for my UK setup.

They work great and are easy to put up and take down, so if you want to take it over to a friends house, you don't need to spend ages disassembling things.

u/Whirlmeister · 1 pointr/Vive

Yes, it comes with controllers.

I found some over-ear headphones were uncomfortable because of the headstrap for some people, but the majority of people I've demoed for have had no problems. On-ear headphones may be a better option, and if its just for you the supplied ear buds are actually surprisingly good.

Depending on your room and whether you are happy to screw the lighthouse sensors to the wall you may need some sort of mount.

I was happy to screw the sensor mounts to the wall at home but I picked up

A couple of these
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wolfcraft-4042000-80mm-Telescopic-Support/dp/B001BWT2PA/ref=sr_1_2

and a couple of these
https://www.amazon.co.uk/MyArmor-Universial-Threaded-Microphone-Motorcycles/dp/B01A6KJDFG/ref=pd_bxgy_60_img_2

So I could bring the Vive places with me and demo (without having to screw anything to the wall).

Alternatively if you want to attach the sensors to a bookshelf or similar these are great:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Phot-R-Studio-Multi-Function-Reflector-Cameras/dp/B00MR0VPOQ/ref=pd_bxgy_60_img_3

I also ended up getting a 3m HMDI extention and a 3m USB extension because my play area is a few meters from my PC and out of the box you only get 1m cables to the breakout box.

These props. As you can see, they have a small platform at either end to provide extra stability.

Good solution for mounting the lighthouse? by madcolster


I found these two things on the Amazons just now. I think they will solve my problem of mounting them in a rather small room. I didn't want to use tripods as they wouldn't fit conveniently anywhere. Have any of you used this as a solution and, more importantly, does it work?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001BWT2PA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2Q1JOOGKYJFGW&coliid=I2ZTRNGTTJOLSA

Appreciate any help here.

(FYI, I did pre-order a Rift, but I gave up after the immensely disasterous release....)

u/pookage · 1 pointr/Vive

Don't worry - you really may be overthinking it; at home I have both lighthouses on opposite sides of the same wall because I don't have any space on the opposing side - it works fine for anything other than when my body is blocking both sensors from the controllers.

When I'm doing a seated game I just rotate one to point at me and it works grand.

Just imagine them like eyes - as long as at least one can see what you're trying to track at any given moment in time; it'll work. The advice is to put them high so that they're less likely to have their line-of-sight blocked by something.

TL;DR - your setup will work fine.

---------------------

P.S - I use these floor-to ceiling poles with these clamps to mount the lighthouses onto

u/TinyEpicUsername · 1 pointr/Vive

The walls are made of drywall, so not as strong as a shower. I wonder if a shorter version of this type of pole would work horizontally. This one has a minimum of over a metre in length, while the gap is only 87cm

u/andythetwig · 0 pointsr/Vive

I bought two of these because they are a bit more solid than the ones I saw at B&Q. The problem isn't that they will fall down because of the weight, but tiny vibrations which are exaggerated when the lighthouses are mounted on brackets.

I also bought these brackets, but they are a bit fiddly and there are simpler ones - there are some designed for mounting gopros onto bikes that look pretty good.
