Monitor Arm with Laptop Tray for 13 to 27 Inch Screen & up to 17 inch Notebook, Adjustable Monitor and Laptop Stand, Ergonomic Monitor Arm Desk Mount with Clamp, Grommet Fits VESA 75/100

Got what expected!!!

Ho acquistato questo supporto per organizzare meglio la mia postazione di lavoro domestica, preso atto del fatto che d'ora in poi passerò probabilmente più tempo qui che in ufficio... Ho raggiunto pienamente lo scopo con questo dispositivo di buona qualità, realizzato totalmente in metallo e verniciato piuttosto bene in nero opaco. Le parti sono ben congegnate e realizzate con cura: ne risulta un montaggio piuttosto agevole, supportato da istruzioni sufficienti allo scopo. Si può vincolare alla scrivania sia mediante un morsetto, solido e ben dimensionato al peso che deve sostenere, sia mediante una piastra circolare dotata di vite passante, da utilizzare forando il piano di lavoro. Ho usato il morsetto in prima battuta ma non escludo di usare in seguito la piastra una volta certo del posizionamento del supporto. Su questo ho installato monitor e PC portatile; quest'ultimo sull'apposito vassoio, come si vede nella foto. Il vassoio è vincolato a uno dei due bracci del supporto, identici, mediante una staffa a standard VESA, uguale a quella destinata a fissare il monitor sull'altro braccio. Ne deriva che sarebbe possibile installare anche due monitor affiancati, pur se non alla stessa altezza in quanto i due bracci sono innestati sul tubo centrale sovrapposti, in modo da risultare su quote diverse rispetto al piano della scrivania. Grazie a questo supporto ho potuto dotarmi di un nuovo monitor, più grande e performante di quello che usavo in precedenza, posizionandolo alla giusta distanza grazie al braccio articolato: gli occhi ringraziano e inoltre ho raddoppiato lo spazio disponibile sul piano di lavoro.

Na pierwszy rzut oka wygląda solidnie. Instrukcja jest dobrze napisana, a samo składanie proste. Z wykonaniem już gorzej. Gwint jednego z ramion był uszkodzony i nie trzymał. Nie przykręcilem śruby nawet raz, więc nie miałem jak uszkodzić, po prostu gwint nie łapie. Użyłem dłuższej śruby i dokręciłem nakrętką z drugiej strony, bo nie chciało mi się odsyłać towaru na reklamację. Druga sprawa to regulacja. Całe ramię wygina się delikatnie pod wpływem ciężaru monitora 27", a na uchwycie nie ma śrub regulacyjnych (jakie na przykład są w uchwytach do telewizorów) do wypoziomowania. Monitor więc pochyla się na bok. Instrukcja mówi o regulowaniu poziomu śrubami na zawiasach ramienia ale to działa minimalnie. Natomiast samo mocowanie VESA ma luzy na połączeniu z ramieniem, nawet po dokręceniu śruby mocującej. Po włożeniu w luz metalowej podkładki udało mi się poprawić sytuację do pewnego stopnia ale idealnie nie jest. Uszkodzony gwint to może mój pech ale brak możliwości sanoswnej regulacji poziomu to już problem konstrukcyjny, podobnie jak luzy. Polecam używać lepszego klucza imbusowego niż ten w zestawie, bo śruby są miękkie i łatwo je uszkodzić. Na plus solidne mocowanie do blatu i dobrze wentylowana podstawka laptopa. Podsumowując szału nie ma ale narazie zostawiam.

Took me a while to set up but all in all its good

Pros: Very sturdy, well made, easy to assemble and install with instructions (took me 20 mins or so), very easy to adjust horizontally (I did have to lightly loosen a few joints...but not by much). If using for a monitor, you can easily rotate from landscape to portrait position and tilt back and forward. Cons: Once you choose a height for the "arm"...you need to use an allen wrench (handily placed on the pole) to adjust it. The arms only articulate on a horizontal plane...meaning you can't adjust the monitor/laptop stand up and down except by changing the height on the pole with the allen wrench. The middle joint on the "arm" has limited range of movement, perhaps a bit less than 90 degrees, so you can't push the monitor all the back toward the pole if it is bent (I'd say I got it about 4" from the pole but only by placing the joint on the pole so it starts as if it's coming out toward the back.) I will add pictures to this review soon to demonstrate my comments above. Overall, a great solution for what I wanted. I had two monitors on my standing desk, and we just got laptops. For a while, I'm using the laptop separately from my dual monitor desktop (possibly forever). There was no room on my standing desk for the laptop, so this device gave me a stand for that as well as replaced the monitor stand that took up room on the standing desk. I was initially concerned about all of this weight on my thin 1/2" likely particle board desktop, but found that the metal framework for the moving part of the desk ran the full length of the desk at the back and front. The clamp is closed on that metal bracket, reinforcing the desktop material without the need to add anything. I was planning to add a 6" x 3" x1/2" pieces of wood to the top and bottom of the desktop when clamping it in place to reinforce and redistribute weight a bit initially, and would still recommend that for thin or glass desktops...but I got lucky and didn't have to. My expectations for more arm movement was likely based on a wall bracket I have for a tv at home that permits it to fold nearly flat to the wall. It is an offset arm at the middle joint. I didn't pay attention to that when looking for a laptop/monitor solution. That said, it does what I need it to do. If you need it to sit almost flat to the back of the desk in any position other than full arm extended out to the side, this won't do that. Also, if you have two monitors on this stand, they can not be on the same level. One will be higher than the other. Overall, for the price...a great and sturdy little set-up. No complaints on my part!
