4. Setup

4.1 Choose Your Mounting Option

The monitor arm offers two installation methods: Desk Clamp or Grommet Mount.

This diagram details the arm's weight capacity (2.2-33 lbs), VESA compatibility (75x75mm, 100x100mm), integrated cable management, and desk thickness requirements for both clamp (0.4-3.3 inches) and grommet (0.4-1.9 inches) installations.

The robust desk clamp provides a secure and stable foundation for the monitor arm, ensuring your display remains firmly in place. It is designed to fit a wide range of desk thicknesses.

4.2 Attach VESA Plate to Monitor

Align the VESA plate with the mounting holes on the back of your monitor. Use the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit to securely fasten the plate. For ultrawide monitors with circular connections, an adapter (not included) may be required.

This image illustrates how the monitor arm connects to the back of your display via the VESA mounting plate. Ensure the plate is securely fastened to your monitor before attaching it to the arm.

4.3 Attach Monitor to Arm

Once the VESA plate is attached to your monitor, slide the monitor onto the quick-release VESA bracket on the arm until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is fully seated and locked.

4.4 Adjust Tension

The pneumatic spring requires tension adjustment to properly hold your monitor's weight. Use the provided Allen wrench to turn the tension screw on the arm. Turn counter-clockwise for heavier monitors and clockwise for lighter monitors until the arm can hold the monitor in any position without drifting up or down.

The powerful pneumatic arm allows for smooth and effortless height adjustments. Use the tension adjustment screw to fine-tune the arm's resistance based on your monitor's weight: turn counter-clockwise for heavier monitors and clockwise for lighter ones.
