DIY Transmitter Tray 2.0 and Harness (update)

[SNSTRLefty]

**UPDATE** 2.0 went live today

Today I found out transmitter trays I decided I would see about putting one together with what I had on hand.

Items

Rip60 Suspension Workout rig
Chrome Messenger Back Pack hardware (metal loop hooks, check strap buckle system)
jigsaw mat foam
Topeak Trolley Tote
Small hooks
Needle and thread
paracord.

I bought one of there years ago, never used it and could not sell it to save my life. I took it apart and used the back piece. The telescoping handle may be used as a monitor mount in the future.

The issue I had was how to keep the transmitter in its place aside from the pressure from the foam. The solution came from a magnetic phone mount and plate. Not overly strong but not sure yet if it will affect the signal emitted, it has no effect on the phone.

Harness

Harness with tray 1.0

The only thing not shown is the paracord and spring hooks safety lanyard (the one pictured is the provided lanyard) from the buckle dring to the transmitter in case something happens that drops the transmitter.

I am working on 2.0 that will be made with a padded laptop tray I have laying around

Torc Tray! Love the ingenuity!

So does the tray help with flying pinch instead of thumbs? Or is it for another purpose?

I thought it would ease the strain put on the neck and found that it helps with how you handle the sticks.

With just the lanyard I found that I went with thumbs out of the way I held the transmitter.

I've been considering giving pinch a try to see if it helps with making more fine adjustments, but I think that's only a very small part of my problems.

Every little bit helps!

The harness was thought up to work with 2.0 and will also have a magnetic tablet mount if the transmitter I get will work with the old paperweight.

The plastic lid was actually just going to be used on my lap when on the simulator but then decided to mount it. I have another for use on the lap.
