Thrustmaster TM Flying Clamp
The Thrustmaster TM Flying Clamp is the first mounting system Thrustmaster has designed for its own flight sim controls. It clamps to a desk or table and holds your stick or throttle at the height and depth that suits you, without needing a cockpit.
It is compatible with the TCA Airbus Edition range and the T.16000M FCS range, including the Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition.
It is part of the Thrustmaster range.

Adjustable for comfort
Place the clamp exactly where you want it on the desk, then adjust the device's height and depth so your stick or throttle sits in a natural position. It works for every type of flight sim, without the need for a full cockpit.
It is ambidextrous, so it can go on either side of your keyboard.
Stable and solidly built
Two clamping screws with tightening wheels secure it to desks and tables from 15mm to 45mm thick. The 100% metal structure keeps it steady during hard inputs, and non-slip feet protect the surface underneath.
When you are done flying, it is quick to remove so it is not in the way.
Built for TCA and T.16000M FCS
Thrustmaster lists compatibility with the TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition, the TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition and Quadrant Add-On, the T.16000M FCS joystick and the TWCS throttle. You can also use it with the TCA Sidestick X Airbus Edition.

Our expert take
"If you fly from a desk and your stick slides around or sits too low, this fixes it properly. The all-metal frame is solid, and the height and depth adjustment makes a big difference to comfort on long flights."
"Check your desk is between 15mm and 45mm thick, and note it is designed around Thrustmaster's TCA and T.16000M FCS products rather than every controller."
- Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct

Really impressed with how solid this clamp feels. It keeps my flight controls firmly in place and doesn't take up much extra space on the desk.
Perfect for my flight sim setup. The height and depth adjustment makes the joystick much more comfortable to use compared with having it directly on the desk.
The clamp came flat packed but was very easy to assemble, very sturdy solid build quality
I don't have room for a full cockpit, so this is a great solution. It clamps securely and is easy to remove when I need the desk for something else.
The all-metal construction makes a noticeable difference. Once tightened down, the mount feels very secure during use.
