Offset Drop Mount (Voltramounts.com)

Just received two offset drop mounts from voltramounts.com, and they're the perfect mount for someone like me who likes using a Smith machine. I can finally go low enough to do RDLs and hip thrusts.

I'm in the EU and the package arrived within ~5 workdays. I also got 2x Hook Ups thrown in without asking, which was perfect for connecting the barbell.

Very versatile mount. I've got 2x DIY mounts on order too, so I'll be able to dock the Voltra in line with the rig as well as offset, using only one mount.

I've got an Innodigym P1 Max running in my garage and two Voltra 1 on order. Got tired of guessing what the handle force would actually feel like at different angles across the dozen arm setups I've been planning, so I hacked together a browser tool while I wait (I use it for Innodigym, just can't change the curve):

If it has a rotation joint and load on the other end, this models it:

- Plate-loaded landmines / T-bar rows
- Lever-arm machines (Hammer Strength press, pec dec, lat pulldown arms)
- Pendulum squat
- Jammer arms
- Cable resistance units - especially good for the Voltra 1 since you can edit a custom curve and see its actual effect at the handle. You can add multiple units pulling from different angles.

What you do:

- Drop an anchor on the rack, build the arm - single or multi-segment, any bend
- Set ROM with draggable gizmos
- Per-arm weight + per-endpoint weight (e.g. simulate a plate-loaded jammer arm)
- Optionally add a cable unit, drag the cable to any tip
- Handle force across the ROM plotted live - gravity + cable tension factored at every angle

Where it gets fun if you have a programmable cable unit: the unit's force curve is editable inline on the chart - drag the control points and the handle curve responds live.

This may not matter in the end, but it's fun :)
