5 Stars excellent product.
Some people complained about how the joints on it are too tight, but that’s silly because the joints’ tightness is adjustable. It takes using a tool (that is provided with the mount) to tighten or loosen whatever joints are necessary.
I use an AOC 2230 something or other monitor (22 inches, 11 lbs i think). It works perfectly. The color doesn’t perfectly match my black monitor, but….I don’t care.
There was no assembly required. It came completely assembled. Admittedly, I did have to take the edge-mount off because I’m using the grommet, but that wasn’t very hard.
There are rubber/foamish pads at the bottom of either mount where the stand touches the desk. These provide a great buffer between the mount and desk so that wood won’t scratch, the mount will stay put, etc.
I’ve never used any other mount of comparable complexity, but this is exactly what I wanted.
bravo!
5 Stars These are very cool
I bought 6 of these for work, and now everyone wants one. They are super strong, nice looking on the desk, and useful. My whole office recommends them! For us, they were worth the money.
5 Stars Great Quality + Good Price
Pros:
- Very sturdy, typing with it mounted to my desk did not make the screen vibrate.
- There is a large range of possible horizontal motions and a decent amount of vertical range.
- The price is very good when compared to some of the other products out there.
- Can be mounted in multiple ways, i.e. at the edge of you desk with a clamp or in the middle with a drill.
Cons:
- Some of the hinges to allow motion come from the factory VERY tight. I would loosen some of them a little bit before mounting.
- For the 100mm monitors there is an adapter plate that you have to use. This worries me because the monitor seems like it is being held up only by the tension of thumb screws on the monitor. But so far it seems very sturdy.
3 Stars Not bad but cut some corners
I was satisfied with the product in general. The cable holders, however, are a joke – they are very flimsy and fall off often. So I’ve discarded them. Also the documentation is a bit unusual – no words, just pictures, some of which aren’t understandable at first glance.
1 Star Not good for Apple Cinema Displays
Even though this arm is rated to support 18 lbs, it won’t support even the 20″ aluminum Cinema Display which weighs 14 lbs. Rather than using a toothed hinge for the tilt axis, it uses cheap plastic washers so even though I’ve tightened it so much that I’ve stripped the allan bolt, the monitor still droops.

5 Stars I like it — fits my use well
The arm meets my needs well. It holds my laptop quite securely and allows me to let it “float” above my (musical instrument) keyboard so that I can get the screen in my face and reposition it at will.
It was quite simple to install. I clamped it to a keyboard rack, and have moved it several times without difficulty to position it best for my use. It is quite rugged in construction, and has a fairly ingenious and undocumented way to tuck cables into the arm without having to thread them through.
I will note that it will “bounce” somewhat, especially at full extension. So this kind of product would not be a good choice for someone who plans to type extensively and constantly on the laptop keyboard. This is not a fault, I think, with this particular product; the arm would have to be extraordinarily rigid for this not to happen.
In most applications where the user is trying to position the laptop above some other work surface, or get the screen in a good position and use an external keyboard, I think it will work quite well.
5 Stars Changed my life
I love the arm. I love it so much I bought another one for the office.
This little guy lets me sit on the sofa with my laptop suspended in space. I can easily spin it around to show my cats pictures of birds.
The multiple degrees of freedom of movement mean I can lie down and have the screen located with an easy viewing angle, or can be sitting with an external keyboard without hunching over because the screen is located 15
