Just a heads up, if you can, try the chair out before you buy. I'm a relatively healthy person and after just 2 days of using it I was getting sharp back paint, headaches and my butt was hurting. Returning it was a nightmare, support is terrible and even though it was causing me pain, they charged me well over $300 to return it. Something to keep in mind.

So I wanted to come back here and tell you I bought 2 of these chairs because they are SO GOOD! I got a 150mm base for the short one at my painting area, and the regular 265mm one for drawing at my drawing spot. Thank you for this video as it was pivotal in helping me decide.

Yes but here is the thing, you can also sit on that chair like a regular chair, and if the seat is rotated too far forward you can rotate it back.I was also thinking of getting maybe a pillow on my regular chair to rotate the pelvis forward more, if you take a look at the spine it was designed to stand and having a forward tilt in the seat sets the spine to be like standing.

Wow, I've been looking for a good chair for a while, and just stumbled onto this vid. This looks like exactly what I need, the ability to lean forward while drawing makes it perfect. I ordered the flat seat model, so my legs won't be split on a saddle-like seat. It seems to be better for me to keep my legs together in order to sit up straight, and then flip it around for the saddle position. It was strangely hard to find this one in the states though. The "Puls" is widely available, and looks cool, but it's vinyl and doesn't look as comfortable to be sitting for hours and hours, as it the comic artist's life. Thanks for posting!

I got the medium height because I'm fairly tall (6'1" / 185.42 centimeters) and have a stand/sit desk, so when I used a measuring tape it seemed that this one gave a good range between regular sitting and low bar stool height.

Hello Lawrence, I have been looking for a new chair. I was wondering how this chair is holding up for you now> Do you still like it and use it? Also if I may inquire, How tall are you and do you ever put your feet on the foot rails? Lastly, do you think the foot ring would be nice? Thanks!

I have the standard version with wheels that just has the little grips over the wheels. I do put my feet on those occasionally but often they are flay on the floor. I move around a lot to stop myself from getting too stiff (it's an old mann thing). I like the foot ring but You can only have that if you get the taller version of the chair. I couldn't get that because if I did the chair wouldn't go under my desk - that's important!!! Hope that all helps! I did review the other version of this chair which is slightly cheaper.

I did a lotta research before settling on this chair and I was super excited for it! As an animator whos hunched over my cintiq I thought the reverse position sounded really damn enticing! I've had the chair for a couple months now and I gotta say, I don't think it's working for me at all, infact I think I seem to have damaged my shoulder because of it! I think due to the lack of arm rests (for a good reason since thats how you sit backwards on it after all) my right shoulder, which I draw work, came under a lot of strain from having to support my arm the whole day while working.

I had an emergency hernia surgery 2 years ago and sitting on a normal chair isn't working for me. I also think that most chairs are designed for a completely different type of work. Artists and designers especially those that are using tablets tend to need to lean forward. It's a completely different setup. I'm 51 and I work in front of a computer all day. I'm on a l-shaped desk with my graphic design layout on one side and the other part of the "L" holds my Cintiq 24 HD. I'm revamping my work layout for productivity and health. Thank you so much for the fast response. Keep healing.

Hi Lawrence! I've been looking for a new chair but I'm not sure which capisco should I go for. I have had back pain that's forced me into prolonged bedrest until now...

This has padding and the pulse dose not. That is the main difference. If you want comfort and intend on sitting for longer than go for the standard Capisco. As for height - that is very personal. It depends on your height and the height of your desk. You need something that can still go under your desk. Although you should get a decent standing mat too so you are not sitting all the time.

So people are willing to spend a thousand bucks (or two... or three... or more) on the computer... maybe another couple hundred on the tablet (even a couple of thousands if you go for a cintiq). But hey! A 1k chair! the horror! If you are an artist you sit most of the time. The quality of the product in which you sit should be your main priority. Even more so, if not at the same level than the hardware and software you use to work. That´s not to say that good posture can be achieved sitting on a wooden stool. But a GOOD chair will ensure that even after hours, when your muscles start to give, you will maintain a good position. This is directly related to your health and quality of life. you should build your workspace around your chair. Still most people just leave it as an afterthought, a gap to fill when all else is done.

Rather sell it now than then, it will surely see a steep price drop and I would not be able to get a good deal for it. Had a bit of a coming and going by mail with Wacom btw. So... unluckily they will apparently continue with this model of selling a stand apart. They will release a ergo 2.0 to go with em...

Really? you think the ergotron arm is a better option. I really pondered about it before punchasing the Ergo Stand. While the full mobility and flexibility of the arm was great.

@LAWRENCEcanDRAW

7 жыл бұрын

Firstly, don't lean on your tablet. It's not great for your tablet. That's how tablets get broken. lol. Second (didn't really need to add second. lol), the Ergotron is steady as a rock as long as you get the right one. Plenty of people buy the wrong one in order to save cash, or they just don't do the research or simply buy an alternative cheap brand. You've got to get the arm that is capable of holding both the size and the weight of your tablet. When you lean on it, that's additional weight. You have to adjust the way you work but you get so much more flexibility in return. The stands are okay but never being able to rotate my tablet again is something I couldn't go back to... in the same way I couldn't go back to drawing with a mouse. It's that kind of serious for me and I've talked to others about this (just to check I wasn't going weird) and most I've talked to agreed they couldn't go back to a stand after an Ergotron arm. I think the only way is if a new type of stand was developed. I'm not closed minded, I just need that functionality.

Too bad they're not really available anymore. Flokk only sells in bulk and Fully only has a few colors. The one on Amazon is just full black :(

I do enjoy a foot-rest and also a standing matt as well which both help as I move around. This is another reason why I use Ergotron arms for my tablets & monitors. I can stand and carry on working in alternative positions. I've got a few videos in my 'Ergonomics for Artists' playlist which might be helpful. I do wonder if the height of the chair is right for you? If it is too high then it might add to any knee problems perhaps. Especially if your foot is hanging freely and not resting on the floor. Obviously I am assuming a lot here. Which height did you go for and does it have the foot rest ring attached? Hope that helps.

Not at all. If you have the headrest then you cannot use the chair backwards because your face would just be up against it. lol. This chair is great for naturally improving your posture without you realising. Unlike gaming chairs which make you want to slouch backwards and rely on the headrest.

The price is worth every penny when you put it against your health and the damage artists face years down the line with back and neck trauma. It can be easy to shrug it off when you're younger but you certainly feel it as you grow a little older and spending that extra money on a good chair that will also last is wort it in my opinion. A good monitor arm like the Ergotron also helps, especially with desk height and giving you the ability to move around and change seating position throughout the day. I work in this chair all day long, 7 days a week most of the time. Some times I stand, sometimes I sit on the edge of my desk and sometimes I might go downstairs with the family and watch a movie to unwind from the stresses of YT trolls but this chair keeps my back in good shape ;)

If you try to sit in one position all day then you are doing it wrong and that is their problem.

If, however, you want to sit in one position ALL DAY then buy a gaming chair and get ready to have a bad back in a few years time... but at least you will be comfy in the meantime. haha.

Lawrence Mann That’s a great question!

My problem is its a lot to drop on a chair - albeit a beautiful chair - I have not seen anything comparable to the Capisco which makes it even harder to compare value. I genuinely clicked the link with intention to buy it, and braced myself that it was probably going to be pricier than the task chairs I was browsing, and it was double what I was expecting! :-) So I guess $400-$425 was the range, I think - for me that’s the high-end that would still be realistic. p.s. your video REALLY made me want this chair too

Fair enough. We spend 6 -8 hrs in a bed. Maybe more each day in a chair though. It's the chair that can end up giving you serious back and neck trouble. You can't change the mattress and you might have the chair just as long as the bed. Does all that sound about right to you? If so then I'd say $400 is quite low. Although when I started looking at chairs, I entered into it with the same amount in mind. Truth is that when I looked at other chairs it quickly became clear that the competition just wasn't up to standard. When I thought about the importance of my own body and health... $799 didn't seem too bad as long as it lasts.

The chair before that cost me 300 and lasted 3 years. the foe leather started to peal off. That is a chair that I constantly see used on TV in chat shows on panel shows too. It looks nice but :( not great. This Capisco has a good guarantee. I'll have this longer than my bed I think. The Capisco Puls is good. I still prefer the padded Capisco. I sit for longer hours though. I broke my spine a couple of years ago and I have to say that the chair really helped as a part of making sure I could get back to work. Luckily I take Ergonomics very seriously.

is there a way to buy this chair with Paypal credit? anyone? lol let me know

4:15 Actually, this kneeling chair + a flat Tempur seat cushion on the seat + a Tempur legspacer on the knee pad = a chair you can sit in all day (though you probably shouldn't) without your body giving you signals that you need to change positions (the Tempur cushions are essential for blood flow and comfort here). It's a hack, but also basically the Holy Grail of ergonomics and long-lasting comfort while working. You can actually also turn it around like the Hag and use the knee pad as a seat and the conventional seat as an elbow/arm rest if you want to switch it up. Someone should make a reverse chair with both chest AND knee rests, so that the force of gravity is divided between chest, seat and knees. Because why wouldn't you?

@LAWRENCEcanDRAW

Personally I'm not a fan of kneeling chairs. Not as an artist. Sometimes I want to lean forwards, sometimes I want to lean back and those chairs, like stools, just scream 'sit up straight' at you. Great ergonomically but not for someone who spends up to 16 hrs a day at their desk. At the moment I am on the hunt for the best foot rest. You won't need that at least with your kneeling chair but that is something I want badly. Something awesome to rest my feet on. Maybe something that rocks gently. Maybe something textured.

I've been through all kinds of chairs ranging from cheap to mid-range and the cheap ones normally last about a year and will actually do damage to tour back and most of the others are just basic chairs with extra padding or better quality leather that cost a bit more.

A draftsman's chair doesn't do that (Draftsman's chair is a wide term given the amount of different designs out there though). There's no back support if you lean forwards as I constantly find myself doing at the drawing tablet. The HÅG Capisco design supports the type of movements that we as digital artists usually make at our desks. I didn't want the Capisco because I thought the design was nice.

Eleanor Taylor More expensive than some other chairs granted but what's more important than your health. a good chair should last you maybe 10yrs and I think that's a fair price then. most cheap office chairs are about $150 and you're lucky if they last a year - they certainly won't be ergonomic. I needed this before my back started to get bad. no point looking after yourself when the damage is done.

LAWRENCEcanDRAW Oh, I agree. If you spend all day at your work station, you definitely need something like this. I know exactly how bad your back can hurt. That's why I like the mobile tablets and stuff because I can move around all through the house. However, if you are in an office all day that chair would definitely be a good investment. I paint traditionally too though and wouldn't want to ruin it, so I just have the ergonomic Walmart specials lol. But I don't use my office/studio chairs everyday like a lot of digital painters have to do.

Not gonna say the chair doesn't look good, but I think it'd been par for the course to state if you were sponsored by the manufacturer or not. Were you?

No. In fact you have to mention that by KZread Law on your videos if you are doing a sponsored video otherwise your channel is in trouble! I'm not even a full time KZreadr. I'm a professional artist and I make videos largely to help folks out and to the chat to people outside my own bubble, so that my opinions don't become one-sided. I work with a lot of software and tech companies to help improve their products for my fellow artists and that interaction with the audience helps me (I've said this in a lot of videos and on my website etc). No company pays me money for my KZread videos but some do occasionally send me products which is not classed as sponsorship and when it happens I do state that fact.

why not simply use a couch and a bunch of pillows?

Haha. I often spend between 12 - 16 hrs at my tablet. If I did that on a sofa I'd be in a wheelchair before the decade was out! I used to sit on the sofa drawing when I was doing it for fun but when you go pro you need to put yourself in a position that is better for your body.

It comes with a 10yr warranty and you can get it cheaper than that. Plus a good ergonomic chair like this looks after your back. Years from now you'll see that as an investment! Especially if you are a digital artist that spends 8-16hrs at a desk every day like I do.

As an illustrator, i'd rather spend that on a new tablet or even traditional supplies, and just pick up a chair from my living room. Sitting from 8-16 hours a day is already a problem, you could get high blood pressure on your legs causing an illness, so i don't care for the "comfort" an ergo chair would give me.

Don't get me wrong, I move around in this chair. As I say in the review, the point of this chair, the way that it's made, is to make you move around and find various positions. You're not supposed to sit still in one place all day. I do stand up and move around constantly. You should. It's bad to sit down or even stand up all day in the same position. Bun this chair has various positions to sit in and that's what I love about it and that's why it's so good for artists like us! Especially using tablets. It's less about the comfort and more about just looking after my back and neck.

You can hunt around and find prices that vary by $150 but I'm not sure who the lowest price US stockiest is. $860 doesn't sound like a bad price given that this isn't a mass-produced chair. HÅG themselves might be able to tell you who's best to buy from if you drop them a message via their website. Hope this helps!

There are different Capisco models you can buy and I adjust the height of the chair constantly at different times of the day as I move around to get comfortable to find new positions. It wouldn't be any use to you showing different variations of the heights I use.

I own a Capisco for 2y now with the highest height option possible. I'm 1.92cm tall (6.3ft) and often I use the chair in a 72-74cm height where the desk is at 88-90cm. Since the Capisco isn't super comfortable by design you change the posture very often. I think that's the reason why it' great for our back :-)

With 10k views you're the only person to mention a problem with the filming of this video so it can't be that bad. Not sure if you're watching on a phone, TV or laptop/tablet? (or if that would even make a difference). I use a lot of angles in this video so I don't even know which shot you're talking about. I assume this is a rhetorical question because you haven't put a question mark at the end of your sentence - guessing you don't really want an answer? Sorry if you didn't enjoy the video - there's plenty more content on KZread for you or of course feel free to try making your own videos (of course 99.9% of negative comments come from people who've never posted a single video).

It's around 700 on the official site and there is a unique discount code which I arranged especially for viewers in the description. A lot of people have commented on the price of this chair in the past so I'll just say it's best to read the comments and see what reasons I've given everyone else for spending a good deal of money on your own health.

I don't see how this chair is possibly comfortable. There's no lumbar support and elbow rests is not the same as arm rests.

@LAWRENCEcanDRAW

5 жыл бұрын

It's comfortable when you are sitting in a drawing position and when you do that you lean forwards and you don't use the backrest or arm rests. That's why I chose this design over many others as I explain here. This chair is better for artists than a gamer's chair. If you're NOT an artist then you'll need a backrest and arm rests but typically those things are of little use to anyone who spends hours at a drawing tablet. If you are a gamer or just a normal tech user then the typical chair design might be better suited to you but artists sit in a very different way when working.
