Valve Index Base Station (1 Pack)

Product Information

Each base station needs to be positioned securely and mounted on a stable surface or a compatible mounting accessory.

I won't be using my Hifi system whilst flying, so there won't be vibration whilst I'm in VR but it's a good point that I hadn't thought of. The vibration whilst blasting out Led Zep on my Hifi might move the base stations. dburne's work fine for him, but note that he said that has them above his head and uses "seated playspace". I got 2 cats, a wife, a kid, and thus pods were impossible. Might as well drill proper holes.) The other base station / sensor will be behind me about 150 cm from headset and about 40 cm - 50 cm from the centre to the right...

I have found the online manual and will answer my own questions in green... for those in the same boat! Both Base Stations have a green light in the upper half of the front, 9 red lights in a square on the front and the letter A on the left one and the letter B on the right one. When they are powered down they just have a muted green light. I don't know if this is relevant, I'm just trying to provide as much info as possible to try to get to the bottom of this! I'm finally getting round to setting up my second hand Valve Index with controllers and HTC Vive base stations. Unfortunately the kit didn't come with an instruction manual, and whilst I will search the internet for a guide to set up my gear, I would still appreciate some advice from those who have experience with the Index.

The base stations will have to be angled down quite a lot to be pointed at my headset, almost 45 degrees, is this ok? I'm limited by my front base station having to be mounted above my window. It says in the Valve guide that you need to plug the Headset into a power supply as well, but I only have 2 power supply adapters for 2 x Base Stations plus the Headset?? Do I need to buy a 3rd power supply adapter? There was a UK and US power adapter for the headset in the box, underneath.If I can find something similar in the UK then that might be a good option for me, then I can have 1 base station mounted on the wall in front and to the right and one tripod behind me and to the left.

I hear what you're saying regarding the adhesive maybe not being strong enough, those Vive base stations are quite heavy! If your base stations aren't working correctly, make sure they are properly set up for optical sync.I was giving to buy a valve index in August but after seeing so many people having problems, I decided to go for the oculus quest 2 which is wireless and trip free. It has done me good for nearly 3 months
