Step into the cockpit with the DOF Reality HERO H2 Helicopter Motion Simulator, a 2-axis full-motion platform engineered specifically for rotary-wing flight simulation. Built with professional-grade mechanics and specialized gearboxes for ultra-smooth motion, it faithfully recreates hovering, banking, autorotation, and soft landings so your body feels every subtle change in attitude.
Designed for serious helicopter pilots, flight schools, and immersive sim enthusiasts, the HERO H2 delivers full-motion capability in pitch and roll, accurately mimicking the forces you experience in real-world helicopter operations. Unlike racing-only platforms, the helicopter-optimized HERO H2 features a dedicated gearbox on each motor for precise, slow-motion control that’s critical for hovering, low-speed maneuvering, and smooth directional transitions.
With the entire rig moving as one—cyclic, collective, pedals, joystick, and monitors— this motion platform provides deep physical immersion. Paired with Sim Racing Studio (SRS) software, the HERO H2 converts telemetry into motion cues for turbulence, engine vibration, runway or helipad textures, weather effects, and more.
Whether you’re building a home helicopter trainer or a commercial-grade simulation setup, the DOF Reality HERO H2 combines realism, durability, and long-term value—backed by a full warranty and worldwide support.
Why it stands out
Helicopter-optimized 2 DOF motion
Purpose-built pitch and roll motion tuned for helicopters: hovering, climbs, descents, and coordinated turns feel natural and progressive— not jerky or game-like.
Gearbox-enhanced precision control
Each motor uses a dedicated gearbox to deliver smooth, slow-speed movement, ideal for rotorcraft, soft landings, and fine control training that generic racing platforms simply can’t match.
Full-rig motion immersion
The HERO H2 moves your seat, cyclic, collective, pedals, joystick, and monitors together, maintaining proper spatial reference and delivering g-force cues through your body’s natural muscle tension for maximum realism.
Multi-sim, multi-role flexibility
Optimized for helicopters but fully capable of fixed-wing flight and racing simulations, the HERO H2 works with popular PC sims via Sim Racing Studio for a single rig that can handle multiple roles without hardware changes.
Pro-grade engineering & support
Built from commercial-grade metal profiles, high-torque motors, and proven mechanics, the platform supports up to 330 lbs (150 kg) and is backed by global support and an upgrade path to higher-DOF systems.

FAQ
The HERO H2 Helicopter Motion Simulator uses gearbox-enhanced motors to deliver smoother, slower motion that’s ideal for hovering, soft landings, and low-speed maneuvers. While it can still be used for racing and fixed-wing sims, its motion behavior is optimized for rotary-wing realism.
Yes. This is a full-platform motion system—your seat, controls (cyclic/collective), pedals, joystick, and even your monitor mount can move together for consistent spatial reference and stronger physical immersion.
The HERO H2 uses Sim Racing Studio (SRS) to translate supported simulator telemetry into motion cues. This can include turbulence, vibration, runway/helipad textures, bumps, impacts, and other effects based on the sim.
Motion is typically driven through a Windows PC using SRS. For supported console titles, the optional MagicBox can enable motion from PS/Xbox without a dedicated PC (motion only).
The platform footprint is roughly 2 ft × 5 ft (≈ 59 × 150 cm) and about 2 ft high (≈ 60 cm), plus your seat and controls. Leave extra clearance for motion travel, cabling, and safe entry/exit.
The HERO H2 supports up to 330 lbs (150 kg) and is built from commercial-grade metal profiles for long-term durability in home or commercial environments.
Yes. The platform is compatible with an upgrade path to H3 and H6 configurations, allowing you to expand your motion capability over time.
The HERO H2 includes a full 1-year manufacturer warranty. An optional +1 year extended warranty is available for additional coverage.
