How it all connects
The VIRPIL Mount System
Every VIRPIL mount setup needs three layers — a mount, an adapter plate, and the hardware. You can't skip the adapter: hardware doesn't bolt directly to the mount arm. The three layers work across all setup types: desk, chair, and collective-mounted panel.
Choose your mount type
The Desk Mount (long or short arm) clamps to your desk edge — accommodating desk thicknesses from 9 mm to 65 mm using the included 20/40/60 mm bolt sets. The arm height and angle are adjustable. The Chair Mount bolts to your existing chair base for collective helicopter setups. The Collective Panel Mount Adapter clips to the arm of a Rotor TCS base for panel mounting.
You must choose an adapter plate
Hardware doesn't bolt directly to the mount arm — you need the specific adapter for what you're attaching. The WarBRD/CM3 Base Adapter bolts to the underside of your joystick base. The Control Panel Adapter mounts to the side of the desk mount arm. The Collective Base Chair Adapter has front and rear plates that fasten to your chair base.
Your joystick base, panel, or collective
Once the mount and adapter are in place, your hardware slots in. Joystick bases (WarBRD-D, MongoosT-50CM3), Control Panels (#1, #2, #3), and Rotor TCS collective bases all require their matching adapter plate. The same desk mount arm can hold a joystick base on top and a control panel on the side simultaneously via two separate adapters.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate adapter to use the Desk Mount V4-S?+
Yes — without exception. The Desk Mount V4-S does not accept hardware directly. You need the specific adapter plate for whatever you are attaching. For a WarBRD-D, MongoosT-50CM3, throttle, or Control Panel, each requires its own dedicated adapter (sold separately or bundled at checkout on the VIRPIL store). Call us on 0488 385 870 if you are unsure which adapter you need — we will confirm before you order.
What is the difference between the Desk Mount V4-S and the V4-L?+
The Short (S) arm is designed for flightstick bases and throttles without extensions — it positions the hardware closer to the desk and is ideal for side-stick HOTAS or throttle-only setups. The Long (L) arm extends the hardware further from the desk edge, which is necessary when using a desk extension with your joystick base for a true centre-stick configuration. If you are planning to use a desk extension, choose the L.
Can I attach a Control Panel to the same arm as my joystick base?+
Yes — the Desk Mount V4-S accepts a joystick base adapter on top of the arm and a Control Panel adapter on the side simultaneously. This lets you run a WarBRD-D or MongoosT-50CM3 at the top and a VPC Control Panel beside it, all from one desk mount arm.
What desk thicknesses does the V4-S support?+
The Desk Mount V4-S accommodates desk thicknesses from 9 mm to 63 mm. Three bolt lengths are included — 20 mm, 40 mm, and 60 mm. The V4 quick-release clamp lets you remove the entire mount in seconds without tools, so you can switch instantly between a work desk and full sim setup.
Is the V4 clamp better than the V3?+
Yes — the V4 features an upgraded quick-release clamp mechanism compared to previous versions, allowing faster desk mounting and removal. The ST-3 grade steel construction is unchanged, maintaining the same rock-solid rigidity that VIRPIL mounts are known for.
Is the Desk Mount V4-S covered by a warranty?+
Yes — all VIRPIL products are backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty. As the official Australian VIRPIL distributor, Player1 Sim Gear handles your warranty claim locally — no international shipping required. Call us on 0488 385 870 if you have an issue.
Why buy from Player1 Sim Gear rather than directly from VIRPIL overseas?+
Player1 Sim Gear is the official VIRPIL distributor for Australia and New Zealand. Buying from us means your warranty is honoured locally, you receive a valid Australian GST tax invoice, you're protected under Australian Consumer Law, and you can call a real person on 0488 385 870 if anything goes wrong.
