- Clamp Base: Ideal for desks with an edge. Provides strong support without drilling.
- Screw Base: Requires drilling a hole through the desk. Offers maximum stability and security.
4.2. Clamp Base Installation
- Attach the clamp base to the bottom of the main pole.
- Position the main pole on your desk edge.
- Tighten the clamp screw until the mount is securely fastened to the desk. Ensure it is stable and does not wobble.
4.3. Screw Base Installation (Grommet Mount)
- If your desk has a grommet hole, ensure it is large enough for the screw base. If not, drill a suitable hole (consult desk manufacturer for recommendations).
- Attach the screw base to the bottom of the main pole.
- Insert the main pole through the grommet hole.
- Secure the screw base from underneath the desk using the provided hardware. Tighten firmly.
4.4. Attaching Monitor Arms and VESA Plates
- Slide the monitor arms onto the main pole at your desired height. Use the provided Allen key to tighten the set screw on each arm.
- Attach the VESA plates to the back of your monitors using the appropriate screws from the hardware kit. Ensure the VESA pattern (e.g., 75x75mm or 100x100mm) matches your monitor.
- Carefully slide the monitors (with VESA plates attached) onto the monitor arms. Secure them with the locking mechanism on the VESA plate.
5. Operating and Adjustments
The monitor mount allows for various adjustments to achieve an optimal viewing experience.
- Height Adjustment: Loosen the set screw on the monitor arm, adjust the arm to the desired height on the main pole, and re-tighten the screw.
- Tilt Adjustment: The monitor can be tilted up to 90 degrees. Loosen the tilt knob on the VESA plate, adjust the monitor angle, and re-tighten.
- Swivel Adjustment: The monitor arms can swivel horizontally along the main pole. The VESA plate also allows for 360-degree rotation, enabling portrait or landscape orientation.
- Cable Management: Use the integrated cable management clips on the main pole to route and organize your monitor cables for a tidy workspace.
