Hi Everybody,
Happy Halloween!
We were at LightBox!
I’m writing this newsletter on the plane returning from Lightbox Expo. This was our first booth at a trade show. It was a little spartan but we had a table to show off three screens with a XOOT_Pro arm. Wow, it was great! So many new artists saw and used XOOT for the first time. It was overwhelmingly positive feedback but a few had comments on new features they wanted to see. The most popular was an arm system for smaller screens (iPads and smaller Cintiqs). I’ve got more work to do ahead.

Get Your XOOT Beine!
We have a gift for everyone who posts a XOOT Studio Snapshot on the Studio Snapshot Page.
The Studio Snapshot page was a big help at Lightbox Expo, it allowed artists to see how a XOOT_Pro could fit in their own workspace.
A big thanks to the Studio Snapshot contributors. Emails are going out soon on how to claim your hat.
If you want to get your own hat, then share you XOOT studio snapshot here: Submit Your Studio Snapshot
New Clamp Attachment Add-On
XOOT_Pro must be clamped to the desk, and there are many cases where camping to be back of the desk will not work (the desk is too deep, there’s no opening at the back of the desk, etc…) People are continually asking for new mounting options. Here’s a new one.
If your desk is too deep, my prior solution was to recommend drilling a 2” (5 cm)hole through that desk and placing the clamp through it. However, drilling a big hole through the desk is not appealing for most people.
The new solution is to make a much smaller hole, so only a single bolt goes through the desk. It’s not a perfect solution but it’s a much smaller hole through your desk.
