This alternate rig mounting system is still in development. If you can get hold of the ATK001 system (with ATK002 add on arms) then that is preferable as these use a 30x30mm arm cross section which is stronger. Please note that both ATK003 and the recommended versions of ATK001 and ATK002 use vertical poles with the same 35mm diameter which means that you can mix and match a little. For example you may wish to use ATK003 for your sidewall controls and choose to later source a 30x30mm arm for the flight stick to give extra stability.
To use this system you need slightly different mounting brackets than are included as standard with control downloads. If you are keen to use this system in advance of release the current version has been shared in our Discord in the #standard-rig-discussion channel dated 16-Mar-2025. They will hopefully prove robust and will be officially released soon.
The big advantage of this configuration of monitor stand of course is that it comes with 2 arms allowing you to mount throttles, trims etc to the upper and your flight stick to the lower. Alternatively for P-51 fans you can mount the throttle to the upper, pedestal to the lower and source an additional arm (30×30 potentially) for your flight stick.
With the ATK001 primary rig you mount either a flight stick from a low down position or a set of cockpit sidewall controls (throttle, trim wheels etc) at a higher up position, but you can’t do both as the rig comes with only one arm.
This rig extension allows you to add one or more extra arms. Three arms would, for example, allow you to support a flight stick and multiple cockpit wall controls which may be at significantly different heights.
Availability of these add-on arms has proven more difficult than all-in-one monitor stands, however we have so far found options for the UK, Germany/Europe and the USA with eBay meeting the needs of other regions.
United Kingdom
In the UK your best bet and so far only option is Allcam. Uniquely in the world they will sell individual arm sections of varying lengths as well as the monitor pole clamp by itself. This saves you paying a VESA bracket that won’t get used. You can buy either directly or via eBay. I would recommend buying two each of the 19cm or 26cm arms and one pole clamp. You may also wish to purchase an additional 19cm or 26cm arm to extend the flight stick mounting as a 3 section arm is the best option.
Allcam Pole Lock via eBay – I couldn’t find it this time. Possibly discontinued.
USA
In the USA I have found one supplier for the standard 35mm pole. This is an eBay business micoco-64. If instead you are using a 1 7/8 pole then you have the option of an add on arm from EasyMountLCD.
You can order from Allcam via eBay.com but postage is around $20+
I hope to add more options – please let me know if you find any
Germany / Europe
In Germany and Europe you have the option of sourcing from Allcam in the UK and paying a little more for postage but without needing to buy parts you don’t need. You can also buy the longer 19cm or 26cm arms which are more useful. Alternatively DMP have a good option which may turn out cheaper.
I hope to add more options – please let me know what you find!
Other Regions
I would recommend the Google image search technique if you’re struggling to find add on arms in other regions. Please let me know if/when you find any. Failing that Allcam is available via eBay in all regions as far as I’m aware and DMP ship to many but not all countries – try the amazon.de link above to see if they can post to you.
If you are searching for equivalents remember to look for arms that look like the image below and with a pole clamp that fits a 35mm pole.
Primary rig for attaching AuthentiKit controls to a desk
Manufacturer: Allcam, Mount-It, see below for more
Product ID: MDM11S, MI-751, see below for more
Some people are having difficulty sourcing this style of monitor stand outside of Europe. In particular, suppliers in the US seem to be discontinuing it. We are working on an alternative as a solution to this and some AuthentiKit community members have had good results with a style which has 20x30mm cross-section arms instead of the 30×30 arms used here. See ATK003 for more information.
The primary mounting system for AuthentiKit controls is a monitor stand, mounted in an inverted position as shown below. This picture shows only the flight stick attached however a second arm section at a higher level is used to mount cockpit wall based flight controls.
The monitor stand needs to be of the following specification:
Vertical pole should ideally have a diameter of 35mm (1 3/8 inch) although 1 7/8 inch can be supported in the US
The arm sections should have a cross-section of 30mm x 30mm and the design of each arm section should look like this with a jaw at one end and a hole at the other allowing the arm sections to be chained together
United Kingdom
The Allcam MDM11S available from the following suppliers. It has also been called the MDM11A and in fact any one arm MDM11 or MDM10 stand from Allcam should be fine. Please note that maximum desk thickness for this clamp is 43mm. If you need a deeper clamp see the link below for a replacement pole or see the other suppliers list.
Please let me know if you find more and I will add them to the list
USA
In the USA the (apparently) exact equivalent to the MDM11S is the Mount-It MI-751 which comes with the less pretty but more functional deep desk clamp. They sell direct from their website or via a large number of resellers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Newegg or more. I’d recommend Googling the model number and looking for the best price. Here are the two main options.
Another equivalent is the Siig CE-MTOP11-S1 which is identical to the Mount-It though a little more expensive. The Mount-It does seem to have sold out a lot in recent weeks though so the Siig may be your only option. You can get it from Amazon or various other outlets.
I have found no other models so far which exactly match the recommended 35mm (or 1 ⅜”) pole diameter and 30mm x 30mm arm cross-sections. However I have previously recommended the Mount-It MI-752 which has a 1 7/8″ pole and we have found add-on arms which are compatible with that. It is no longer the recommended option but for completeness this is the MI-752 from Mount-It. It costs more as it supports two arms however you can remove the arms from one side and use them to extend the other side.
Other options for 1 3/8 or 1 7/8 pole monitor stands will be added as they are found
Germany / Europe
In Germany a brand called Display Mount Pro sell a model DMP LCD352 or LCD352S either directly or via Amazon. You can also source the Allcam MDM11S in Europe via eBay. Another option is the Wasserman model.
Open your country’s eBay and search for “MI-751” or “LCD352” or “MDM11S”
India
In my Googling I found one other country where a different brand is selling a very similar model of monitor stand. This is the Rife brand sold via Amazon in India. The downside is that it has the 1 7/8″ pole and this has the downside that add-on arms for 1 7/8″ poles are hard to find outside the US. I include it here as sourcing options may change.
I hope to add to this sourcing page as others discover more options. A good way for you to find new options is to right click on the image top right of this post and do Google Image Search (assuming you’re in Chrome browser). For now the options you have are as follows:
Allcam appear to sell their MDM11S model via every eBay I have tested globally. The downside is the shipping as they post from the UK
The Mount-It MDM11S is also available via Amazon and eBay in many different countries but again postage could be pricey
You could also google the LCD 352
Please help me find more options and I’ll list them here
