Setup
Follow these steps to assemble and install your Gearlab Dual Monitor Desk Mount.
Step 1: Choose Mounting Method
The mount supports two installation methods: desk clamp or grommet mount.
- Desk Clamp Installation:
- Attach the desk clamp to the main pole.
- Position the clamp on the edge of your desk.
- Tighten the clamp screw until the mount is securely fastened to the desk.
- Grommet Mount Installation:
- If your desk has a grommet hole, remove the existing grommet cover.
- Insert the grommet base through the hole.
- Secure the grommet base from underneath the desk using the provided plate and nut.
- Attach the main pole to the grommet base.
Step 2: Attach Monitor Arms to Pole
- Slide the dual monitor arm assembly onto the main pole.
- Adjust the height of the arms to your desired position and secure them using the locking collar.
Step 3: Attach VESA Plates to Monitors
- Align the VESA plate with the mounting holes on the back of your monitor (75x75mm or 100x100mm).
- Secure the VESA plate to the monitor using the appropriate screws from the hardware kit. Do not overtighten.
Step 4: Mount Monitors to Arms
- Carefully slide the monitor (with attached VESA plate) onto the VESA head of each monitor arm.
- Ensure the monitor is securely locked into place.
Step 5: Cable Management
- Route monitor cables through the integrated cable management clips on the arms and pole.
- This helps maintain a tidy workspace and prevents cable damage.

Operating and Adjustments
Once installed, you can adjust your monitors for optimal viewing comfort.
- Height Adjustment: Loosen the locking collar on the main pole to slide the monitor arms up or down. Retighten to secure.
- Tilt Adjustment: The VESA head allows monitors to tilt up or down. Use the provided Allen wrench to adjust the tilt tension if monitors are too loose or too stiff.
- Swivel Adjustment: Monitors can swivel left or right at the arm joints and VESA head.
- Rotation Adjustment: Monitors can be rotated 360 degrees from landscape to portrait orientation.
- Arm Extension/Retraction: The articulated arms allow you to extend or retract your monitors closer or further from you.
- Tension Adjustment: If a monitor sags or does not hold its position, use the appropriate Allen wrench to increase the tension at the arm joints. Refer to the specific adjustment points on the arms.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your monitor mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Lubrication: No lubrication is required for the moving parts.
