DOF Reality H4r 4-Axis Hero Motion Platform with Heave (Universal)
Ships internationally, factory-direct from the manufacturer. Import duties/tariffs (typically $214–$500 on motion platforms, less on accessories) are billed separately by the carrier at delivery and are the buyer's responsibility - they are never charged at checkout.

Universal configuration. Combined-use rig geometry that adapts to racing, flight, and helicopter setups on one platform. Same motion engine as the racing build.
Overview
The DOF Reality H4r is the universal configuration of the H4 chassis. Four axes (Pitch, Roll, Yaw, Heave) tuned for combat aviation, civil flight, and helicopter sim use. Heave delivers the vertical force that turns turbulence, vortex ring state, hard touchdowns, and updrafts into physical sensations rather than just visual cues.
Built since 2014 by DOF Reality in Ukraine, the H4r uses commercial-grade European steel and integrated power drive motors with the Smooth Force Unit (SFU) gearing. Same chassis, motion engine, and software as the H4 racing build, but configured from the factory with HOTAS mount points and universal cockpit geometry instead of wheel-and-pedal.
The H4r is the right pick if you want flight, helicopter, and combined-use motion with vertical g-forces, but want to stay below the H6r 6-axis price tier.
Key Features
- True 4-axis motion (Pitch, Roll, Yaw, Heave). Heave is the differentiator vs every 3DOF flight platform on the market.
- Vertical g-forces for flight sim. Turbulence, hard landings, updrafts, vortex ring state, and rotor wash become physical sensations.
- Universal cockpit geometry. HOTAS mount points, rudder pedal rails, combined sim use out of the box.
- Holds up to 150 kg of pilot plus rig weight on commercial-grade European steel.
- SimRacingStudio license included. Telemetry-driven feedback for flight, racing, and rally sims.
- Klarna and Affirm financing available at checkout.
