@licker1977 - So you can't remove them if they are stuck solid? I'm hoping they come off so I can make adjustments to them if I put them up wrong the first time around.


Yes you can.. i have mine stuck to the basement wood painted joists.. ive moved them once already and may tweak it some more and feel confident they will stick again.

Im talking about the sticky back hooks.. not the 3m white pads.

@licker1977- Do you have that last cable and pulley that holds the Rift, directly above your head or just behind you? I also think you will pull the paint off your ceiling in time because if you look at the design pictures it doesn't show it being stuck to a painted ceiling. I might be wrong so if someone has had these on a painted ceiling for sometime can comment, it might be a bit more reassuring.

I've messed about with this for some time and I don't know if it's just me doing it wrong, but I have come to the conclusion that over head cables hanging from the ceiling create more problems then it's worth. Maybe it's because my computer is in-front of me where the two front facing cameras are and it requires the computer and cables behind you. I find I just keep getting tangled in the cables more then I do with it just on the floor. 

So does the computer and cable need to be behind you? The CV1 with such short extension cables doesn't allow much room for manoeuvre.

I get a little pull if I lie down at back of my room but only a tiny tug and I used 4


Lock the door, tighten your belt and zipper and keep moving for added security ...
... lest the anonymous tiny tugger will strike again !  😮
