Hello All,
Happy Halloween! I had a great time down in LA sharing a conference room with XenceLabs and others (just outside the LightBox Expo). Thanks to all who dropped in. It was great the speak with everyone and learn how things are going.

The first winner of the giveaway did not respond to the email sent to them. Thus, after 3 days (72 hours) the prize was automatically forfeited.
The new winner, then claimed their prize (in Saskatchewan Canada).
Small Bio:
My name is Addy, I am a student and artist. During the summer, I
serve as a wildfire lookout, spending the rainy days drafting comic
books, company logos, and novel covers. In the winter, I am a
student in geomatics and use my tablet for cartography/map design as
well as bringing my summer’s worth of drawings to completion. I hope
to publish my own comic book very soon.
I have the Wacom 24″ Pro with the ergo stand and I am very happy to
be upgrading. I have been following the XOOT Arm development since.
Congratulations, Addy!
A Feature Question for You…
At shows, I’ll frequently have conversations with the people who are trying out XOOT_Pro. Sometimes, they’ll mention a feature they would like the arm to have. The odd thing is, each show has a “Most Requested Feature” but these features have shown no consistency between shows.
For example,
The most requested feature of this show (Lightbox 2025) was to have a USB hub on the XOOT_Pro arm.
The most requested feature of the previous show (Siggraph 2025) was to have click stops for each 90 degrees rotation (horizontal and portrait modes).
Both of these “Most Requested Features” were not even mentioned in the other recent show.
So, in the hopes of getting more clarification… Why not ask the newsletter crowd to vote on some “Most Requested Features”?
New Studio Snapshot
I discovered the XOOT_Pro from a content creator on YouTube back in 2020. I’ve experimented with various setups to create the most comfortable drawing experiences, including DIY easel mounts, VESA-mounted desk arms, and even Wacom’s expensive Ergo Stands. While the Xoot_Pro might not work for everyone, it meets my expectations for ergonomics and quality of life adjustments. I’m extremely satisfied with how the Xoot_Pro has fit into my workflow. As an artist finding myself working with various devices, the upgradability of the XOOT_Pro makes this product timeless.
Huge thanks to Matt L. for sharing a snapshot of his workspace.
If you’ve got a setup you love, we’d be thrilled to see it. Sharing your studio snapshot helps other artists visualize how XOOT_Pro could transform their own workspace.
All the best to you!
