In your opinion, do you think this sort of set up would work with the dual ergotron arm (I have a monitor and a wacom I want to attach) or would two single ergotron arms (one on each side of the desk) be better?
cindiq is very cool!but there is two big problem: frist,you paint on it,it is a monitor...so you will see perspective....it won't happened in classic wacom, 2nd: it is like wacom but you can't use it on desk because of the perspecitive so it will become an angel,and your arm will fell tired.these two problem won't happened in classic wacom,so that's why we need the arm like this:( i just bought this from America.....T_T
I just bought this for my cintiq but the arm keeps coming down, like if the cinitq is too heavy for the arm. Is there way to secure it into position?
good thing you found out how lol i swear when i was putting this thing together i was pretty much guessing my way through the whole thing bc the dang instructions were pretty much horrible.
@JuegosTheTitan He doesn't, you just can't see the cable from the angle he is filming from.
The cintiq functions like a screen. It will always need to be connected to your computer by cable (vga or dvi I believe) and USB (for the pen technology to work).
hello Sir. I'm planning to buy a Wacom Cintiq 21UX, the latest model. I search a bit about it, and I found that some people are complaing about scratches with the tablet after a short time, and repairs costs around 500 Euros. That worries me a lot.
How is your tablet condition as of now? :) regards
I am so jelly :u I have been animating on my cintiq for months now and my back is killing me - I envy your comfy position! *Goes back to breaking my back*
i got a intuos4, but i saved up for this one, i now got the small version of the intuos (wich is still way bigger as a bamboo) and im pretty used to it, so would u advise this one? have u ever had problems with it? and does it react fast? and is the cursor on the exact place as your pen is?
@b1gbudda The Cintiq is perfectly fine for matching the cursor, however because my desk is so high I have it calbirated so that the angle I'm sitting on means for my eye level it's in place. It works to however you want it.
I've only ever had the standard wacom issues with my Cintiq - such as the pen not working sometimes, the drivers are just as annoying as any Wacom tablet, but a restart fixes that.
@b1gbudda The hot keys on the Cintiq are really good and do respond very well, so those are okay. The problems with the driver seem more in the pen than anything else, it's super easy to set up as a monitor and stuff. Grats on getting one soon! I love mine to bits~
I never seen it's actual size i always thought it's like a medium size notebook screen but dammit it's bigger than a desktop 17" monitor, still it shouldn't cost nearly 2k.
Looks like the weight limit on the LX arms is 20lbs, which falls a few pounds short of the Cintiq's listed 22lbs. Those buying might want to consider a Ergotron MX arm which is rated up to 30lbs. Same price.
Awesome, just ordered the Ergotron MX! I happened upon this video by accident when looking for Cintiq 21ux glove recommendations. Thank you for sharing!

Just bought this exact set up yesterday because of you video....the cintiq (super back order) and the arm from amazon....Thanks.. Im a little worried about my available room and the length... I measured some stuff form my situation. and it will be close to what i want with some mods.
Never used the 12wx so i couldn't really comment on it. you best bet is to google a 12wx in-depth user review. I expect you wont get big strokes on 12" but it would be nice to hold on your lap.
@RezarTheOne I know your comment is a month old, but incase you were still undecided about the smaller cintiq it's bigger than it sounds. My friend bought the 12wx after seeing my 21ux and she's super happy with it. She says the screen is around the size of an A4 sheet of paper, which is perfect for drawing on of course. The only difference is the 12wx, I dont think, is updated to Intuos4 technology like the 21ux is.
@CenzGFX Does touch screen computer have 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity and brush tilt sensitivity? I doubt it, and thats what makes all the difference when drawing/painting/airbrushing on a wacom. Also its around 1700 uk pounds..
@deze70 Ikr at PC world it was £2100 freaking quid but they've lowered it to £1800 now :D But i want the 12WX which i'll hopefully get for my B-day ~:DDDDD
Awesome, thanks for sharing this, I saw some reviews about that specific arm in amazon, and I was shying away from it, and going instead for a more rigid looking option, the "Visidec Focus Articulated Monitor Arm".
One of the things I also worried about was the fact that none of these arms have the equivalent of a ball head like the ones found on camera tripods, which to me would make great sense for complete mobility.
Is the sideways rotation you do with it due to the 21ux itself or the arm?
@otas32 The sideways rotation is the Arm as is the Cintiqs default stand. If you are getting a different stand make sure it rotates clockwise and anti for maximum freedom
Could you use one of these with a regular tablet? I have an Intuos3 9x12 and I hate having it in my lap because I am extremely clumsy and it falls out of my lap a lot. D=
Did you have to get a special mounting bracket for the Cintiq 21 to attach it to the Ergontron LX? I'm looking to get my Cintiq within the next two weeks.
One question though, can you put any weight on the cintiq when drawing? I tend to put my arm all over the place while drawing. that won't push it out of place will it?
Not to be a kill joy but has anyone considered having that thing in your lap like that and all the radiation and so on coming off of it. I work on a cintiq all day long everyday and worry about the radiation I'm taking in just on my face and arms...
Let's face it, long term testing on these things have not been done and no one knows how they may effect us...But I still agree it's an awesome invention!

The monitor that I have, has the cable coming out of the center.

I read sth about different versions of Cintiq 21 - newer and older. Planning to buy new or used one. What should I be carefull about? Which year is 'new' one from?
This stand works quite well with the DTK model. There is movement and jiggle to a degree, but i compensate with little thought and the freedom of motion makes up for any detriment the movement causes.
when you are dropping 2 grand on a tablet, another 90$ isn't that bad!
I am in the process of ordering one of these, was anything special needed to connect it to the Cintiq? I have the new DTK model, I couldn't really tell if that was what you were using too, but I think it would work the same. Your video is what inspired me to get one, I love how you can turn it 360 degrees!
Do you have to draw lightly or is it pretty sturdy when it is extended? Thanks for any help!
It's pretty sturdy once you have the right angle and the correct tension set up on the joints. If the DTK model has a standard vesa mount holes then you are good to go.
@deze70 I really appreciate you posting your video, it answered A LOT of set-up questions for me. I just got my Ergotron LX arm today & I'll have my Cintiq 21UX buy Tuesday. I'm currently becoming a computer animator and I'm always looking to network with other artist. Thanks again for posting your video.
i rarely if ever leave comments on youtube, but i want to let you know that your video inspired the purchase of the model arm you demonstrate here.
it was $90 on amazon after signing up for a amazon credit card which is one payment away from getting shredded.
i have been using a cintiq 21 for 2 years now at work, and finally got a 2010 model... this was my second purchase and is the best thing i have ever drawn on.
thank you for the inspiration, and for boldly trying it out!
Hi man! Sweet setup, looks really comfortable! I am thinking of bying a ergotron in some months too. But aren't really the Cintiq too heavy to be on a ergotron lx of that kind? Maybe 1 kg over the recommended weight lift for the ergotron isn't thath bad ^^
@GuitarLuf I had one and I used another kind or ergotron that is more heavty duty than the lx and can be purchased on ebay for less than the lx for some reason even though it actually cost more.
@MrAnimated It's allot more comfortable than leaning over the wacom on its original stand positioned on the desk. It used to give me upper back strain, thats why i got an arm.
@MrAnimated they cost around the £117 UK mark, very sturdy on a good heavy desk like mine. They don't fall as the clamp is chunky and strong. This is a solid piece of kit, see ergotrons site for more info.
Thanks for the heads up on this man! I have been trying to set up all my stuff, and I have all the exact same hardware I see on your desk, except for that arm. It looks super comfortable and that 30" is perfect for scrap/ reference pics while drawing. Nice that you can get the cintiq out of the way when it's not in use too!
I've been thinking about getting one of these desk mounts for my Cintiq 21ux, but it says it only supports 20lbs and the Cintiq 21ux is 22lbs. How well does it support the weight of the tablet and do you feel like you always have to hold it up with your left hand when you apply pressure to draw?
Once you remove the wacoms stand it becomes lighter and it is then covered by the arms weight limit. The arm also has tension adjustment via an allen key on each joint to stiffen to your liking. it supports the cintiq fine without my left hand ;-)
thanks for the review! Just got a quick question if you dont mind answering.
Are there much difference between this model (45-179-195) and the older model (45-179-195) with a cintiq mounted?
I say this because i live in Australia and the newer model is coming out next month and i believe it will be considerably more expensive than the older model.
The only mechanical difference with the 45-179-195 is that the head only pans the screen 90 degrees in one direction or so i was told by an ergotron representative in an email before i purchased the current model. This is also evident in the pdf user guide for the 45-179-195. Keep in mind I havent owned the older model and this is based on my previous research. The prices where pretty much the same here in the UK at the time of purchase. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply, i guess im still torn between the both.. haha..
Just checked out the PDFs and its true how theres not much difference. I guess for the new one you get a bit more angle, however in the older model, the desk mount pole is alot longer.
Im wondering in you newer model, if you ever pan more than 90 degrees?
The main joints have hex screw tension adjustment, so if you really wanted to lock it in a position you could tighten these to achieve this, but you would have to loosen them to adjust to another position. this would also apply to the weight factor.
The wacom sits round half way below the level of the table as the second to last photo kind of illustrates, although picture was taken from above. Hope this helps.
i ve forgot to ask an important question - how stable is the monitor arm compared to the competing products? in the video i see the tablett rocking a bit as you execute the harder movements.. so is it unavoidable on any arm, or are there ones that are more solid then your model? also, are you using an extension? does the extension make it any less stable?
I just dribbled all over my computer...I want this wacom soooooo bad! And I've only recently got the Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch!!!

This stand works quite well with the DTK model. There is movement and jiggle to a degree, but i compensate with little thought and the freedom of motion makes up for any detriment the movement causes.
when you are dropping 2 grand on a tablet, another 90$ isn't that bad!

I am in the process of ordering one of these, was anything special needed to connect it to the Cintiq? I have the new DTK model, I couldn't really tell if that was what you were using too, but I think it would work the same. Your video is what inspired me to get one, I love how you can turn it 360 degrees!
Do you have to draw lightly or is it pretty sturdy when it is extended? Thanks for any help!

@TheAwesomeSaurus
It's pretty sturdy once you have the right angle and the correct tension set up on the joints. If the DTK model has a standard vesa mount holes then you are good to go.

@deze70 I really appreciate you posting your video, it answered A LOT of set-up questions for me. I just got my Ergotron LX arm today & I'll have my Cintiq 21UX buy Tuesday. I'm currently becoming a computer animator and I'm always looking to network with other artist. Thanks again for posting your video.

i rarely if ever leave comments on youtube, but i want to let you know that your video inspired the purchase of the model arm you demonstrate here.
it was $90 on amazon after signing up for a amazon credit card which is one payment away from getting shredded.
i have been using a cintiq 21 for 2 years now at work, and finally got a 2010 model... this was my second purchase and is the best thing i have ever drawn on.
thank you for the inspiration, and for boldly trying it out!

@Legato895 how much did the latest model of the cintiq cost?

@Stickymation 2k from safe harbor... took 2 months to come into stock because wacom was having glass issues :/

@Legato895 90$ on amazon?? i googled it and couldnt look at the price because it was like 3.5k$...... was the device in a good condition? thanks!
DrDimk0o 1 year ago
@DrDimk0o $90 was for the arm. a new cintiq should only be 2 grand new. 3.5 is not right.

Hi man! Sweet setup, looks really comfortable! I am thinking of bying a ergotron in some months too. But aren't really the Cintiq too heavy to be on a ergotron lx of that kind? Maybe 1 kg over the recommended weight lift for the ergotron isn't thath bad ^^
GuitarLuf 1 year ago
@GuitarLuf I had one and I used another kind or ergotron that is more heavty duty than the lx and can be purchased on ebay for less than the lx for some reason even though it actually cost more.

MrAnimated 1 year ago
@MrAnimated It's allot more comfortable than leaning over the wacom on its original stand positioned on the desk. It used to give me upper back strain, thats why i got an arm.
deze70 1 year ago
@deze70 how much do they cost? and can they break a desk or fall easily if improperly balanced?
MrAnimated 1 year ago
@MrAnimated they cost around the £117 UK mark, very sturdy on a good heavy desk like mine. They don't fall as the clamp is chunky and strong. This is a solid piece of kit, see ergotrons site for more info.

can that work on the 12wx?
KinesisAcademy 1 year ago
@KinesisAcademy only if it has a vesa mount which would be 4 screw holes in the back like most flat monitors have
yin222 1 year ago
Thanks for the heads up on this man! I have been trying to set up all my stuff, and I have all the exact same hardware I see on your desk, except for that arm. It looks super comfortable and that 30" is perfect for scrap/ reference pics while drawing. Nice that you can get the cintiq out of the way when it's not in use too!

I've been thinking about getting one of these desk mounts for my Cintiq 21ux, but it says it only supports 20lbs and the Cintiq 21ux is 22lbs. How well does it support the weight of the tablet and do you feel like you always have to hold it up with your left hand when you apply pressure to draw?

@mongrelme
Hi Mongrelme,
Once you remove the wacoms stand it becomes lighter and it is then covered by the arms weight limit. The arm also has tension adjustment via an allen key on each joint to stiffen to your liking. it supports the cintiq fine without my left hand ;-)
Hope this is of some help.
deze70 1 year ago
@deze70 Awesome. Thank you for the reply. I ordered one today and looking forward to putting this tablet in a more natural position.

Yes it feels stable on my chunky desk.

Hey Deze,
i finally bought the Ergotron 45-241-026 model and installing it now..
However, because my desk is too wide, and i dont want to drill any holes in it, i have to mount mine at the front..
Edit: I just realized yours is mounted the same way as mine.. does yours feel a little unstable?

Bad thing though.. it seems a little unstable because i guess the pressure is the other way round now. Do you think its still ok?

Hey deze,
thanks for the review! Just got a quick question if you dont mind answering.
Are there much difference between this model (45-179-195) and the older model (45-179-195) with a cintiq mounted?
I say this because i live in Australia and the newer model is coming out next month and i believe it will be considerably more expensive than the older model.
Thanks in advance :)

@bdesigns
Hi bdesigns,
The only mechanical difference with the 45-179-195 is that the head only pans the screen 90 degrees in one direction or so i was told by an ergotron representative in an email before i purchased the current model. This is also evident in the pdf user guide for the 45-179-195. Keep in mind I havent owned the older model and this is based on my previous research. The prices where pretty much the same here in the UK at the time of purchase. Hope this helps.

Hi Deze70,
Thanks for the reply, i guess im still torn between the both.. haha..
Just checked out the PDFs and its true how theres not much difference. I guess for the new one you get a bit more angle, however in the older model, the desk mount pole is alot longer.
Im wondering in you newer model, if you ever pan more than 90 degrees?
bdesigns 1 year ago
Can you put much weight onto it before I pushes it out of the position you're comfortable with?
also can you lock it in any position?
ScrewAttackEurope 1 year ago
@ScrewAttackEurope
The main joints have hex screw tension adjustment, so if you really wanted to lock it in a position you could tighten these to achieve this, but you would have to loosen them to adjust to another position. this would also apply to the weight factor.

The wacom sits round half way below the level of the table as the second to last photo kind of illustrates, although picture was taken from above. Hope this helps.

hey dude!
i ve forgot to ask an important question - how stable is the monitor arm compared to the competing products? in the video i see the tablett rocking a bit as you execute the harder movements.. so is it unavoidable on any arm, or are there ones that are more solid then your model? also, are you using an extension? does the extension make it any less stable?
thanks in advance,
jay
JayVanDerGay 1 year ago
The arm is very solid, you are always going to get a little after rock after positioning, but its fine when applying the stylus.
You can always tweak the stiffness of the arms moving parts by using the supplied hex key to your liking and the monitors weight.
There is no extra extension on the arm this is how it comes as standard. see model number in the description.
The arm is advertised as touch friendly in the specs.
I'm very pleased with it as i can sit for longer durations and create.
