RE: How Do I Get My Hand On Every Digital Artist's Dream, a Wacom Cintiq?
Hi,
I agree that Cintiqs are really awesome tools, I did use one for a while, in a company that provided it. But I've never really had the urge to splurge and get one at home... I think it's because
- the heat factor. I live in a warm country and my Wacom is cooler to touch.
- ergonomics. I like leaning back while working, and also resting my elbow, lower arm or even wrist on the table or tablet.
- I'm very used to my Wacom after nearly 20 years lol
- of course the lower price, and lighter weight :)
but that's just me. I hear that Cintiqs are extremely popular with most artists, so your post is very useful. Thanks!
Hi @stahlberg ,
It's great to finally see someone replying here according to the topic discussed. And for sure u are in the creative industries same like me...:)
As for your points:-
Heat Factor - Yeah, it's getting warm by hours of using it, my country also warm, but fortunately i'm working in the air-conditioning space, so it's not a big deal for me.
Ergonomics - For Cintiq users, there're product called ERGOTRON to mount their tablets. This mount can suits any positions u need for the tablets, u can even bring down the tablet to your lap. But the price are not cheap, i'm just using a standard stand that come up with the Cintiq for now.
This is personal preferences, as long as it's good for u, then keep on rocking! ;)
I agree on this, me too were thinking about it deeply before investing into the Cintiq because of it's price. I also agree that the other models are light-weight, i'm still using Intuos 3 when travel...:)
Anyway, im really welcome your comments here! Thanks for passing-by!
Thanks @zen1982, ERGOTRON sounds interesting, didn't know about that.
Oh I just remembered, for a tablet even cheaper than Intuos 3 check out Huion, I never used those myself yet but I hear good things. They even have Cintiq-style, about 400 up to 900 usd on Amazon.
