It’s ok now I’ve got it the way I want it but by Christ I found it hard to get right. The unlockable hub system you use to adjust the settings wasn’t as easy for me as the reviews made it out to be (that may be specific to my health issues though).
There’s an infamous tripod amongst photographers called the Benbo Trekker. You unlock one lever and the whole thing loosens up, then you put it in the position you want and lock it again. Sounds great, but in reality it was like wrestling an octopus.
Some photographers hate it, some love it. I hate it. 😄
The F-GT Lite has the same mechanism except there’s like 5 of those levers and a few of them control more than one part of the seat; it was like herding multiple octopuses (correct term 😉 ) It was a bloody nightmare. Loosen the wrong hub and both the back support and the rear leg could end up flat.
That said, I’ve kind of got the hang of it now and it genuinely is rock solid, properly unbudgeable, when all the hubs are locked in place. And I’ve finally found a very comfortable position.
If I were you I’d go with the one I had previously (the only reason I swapped was because of my chonky thighs), or even better an actual playseat model with a proper racing seat. They still fold up a bit afaik and seem like zero faff .
