What is the distance from back of base piece to center of clamps? I want to make sure the clamps secure to a specific spot on the desk.

Hey! Not in my office so I'm going by memory. I think the distance from back of base to center of clamps is about 1.5"

The are adjustable. There are 3 joints that allow movement. From the center arm -> first hinge is about 2 inches - > second hinge is about 10 inches -> third hinge is about 10 inches then you have the base plate.

1-1/2" to 1-3/4". My Computer table is 1" thick composite board and with two 27" LED Monitors it is very stable.

Hi Robert, I bought this for my cubicle several years ago and no longer work there. I can tell you that this is the best monitor stand I've ever seen - and I owned my own IT company in DC for 8 years. It's excellent. I'd say the base is about 11 inches, but if room is an issue, you can remove the base and clamp it to the desk edge (there's a clamp mechanism that comes with it). Good Luck!

Mine is attached with about the same amount of desk space and is very stable even though part (maybe 1/4) of the clamp flange is beyond the edge of the desk. Since the center of the clamp is under the desk, it works quite well.

The outsides of the mounting brackets are 9 3/4" apart. (So, the back of the back bracket (at the narrower top part of it) would be 9 3/4" from the front face of your desk. The screws that attach them are 8 3/4 " on center. However, be aware that the runners extend 12 7/8" under the desk.

Hello Paul, My experience with desk thickness is that should be fine. I operate a business and have bought dozens of various mounts. I clamped this one to a plate glass desktop (very thin) and a very thick desk top. The key to securing firmly is having enough lip for the clamp to slide unto and get a good grip. Some desks have no lip and some not very deep. If not a deep lip, the issue of course is not the top, but the underneath clamp or the knob. The knob may be to close to a side panel to turn. I some cases, I have trimmed down the knob to get closer. Which then requires using a tool to turn and get tight. But that has worked a number of times. I also have secured this mount through desktop by drilling when no lip. This is a fine mount for the price. Very sturdy. Best of Luck.

I can only tell you based on my experience. My table is not a flat all across the bottom, like a kitchen table type. It's an end table, with a drawer, meaning it has wood dropping down about 4" all around it, with a lip coming out 1-1/2" from that. My problem was the clamp, while the lip section is only 1" thick, and I'm sure 3/4" thick would be fine, tightening the clamp wasn't possible with the drop down section, so we literally had to cut it out, the just 4" width of the clamp as a whole, to allow for tightening the clamp down to an inch, so the table minus the laptop holder would be useless now, as it's missing a large section of wood on the side. With it, no one can tell a section was cut out. The other problem is the weight. This is very very heavy, as before cutting the end table, I first tried a small flat top table, but it was so light weight, that the laptop table holder itself made it fall over sideways, without even adding the computer. You'd have to put a counter weight of some type on the opposite side, but mine was too small for that. If I could have counter-weighted a larger flat table with a heavy lamp or something, an inch thick would have worked fine. Just be weary of how heavy it is, since it's made of thick metal and quite heavy (the specs probably show the total weight). After working out how to install it though, I have to say I love it! It's great to swing towards me when I want the computer, and back away from me when I'm done.

The clamp is in a U shape. The piece on top of the table is 4 x 4 inches. There are 2 very large screws that you turn to tighten the support onto the table, and they need to contact the underside of the table 3 inches from the edge.

It has a fairly sturdy clamp that attaches to the far side of the desk, or you can drill some holes in the desk and bolt it in place. It seems pretty effective.

I havent used a clamp monitor stand, but i am using other clamp products. the top desk plate is strong enough to withstand the clamps i am using with ease. HOWEVER, one thing i strongly recommend is that you get two metal plates and place them between the top clamp and the top of the desk, and another plate between the bottom dual clamps and the bottom of the desk. Reason 1: the bottom dual claps are little circles that will apply an incredible amount of pressure to just those two spots. if you place a metal plate between the circles and the bottom of the desk, you will be able to clamp tighter without beginning to crack the wood of the desk. Reason 2: a metal plate will dispurse the force of the clamps to a wider area across the desk, therefore you leave less of a mark on the desk, possibly even no mark. Reason 3: the monitors will be more stable. less shaking, wobbling, or any other movement. again, a tighter clamp means a tighter grip, which will better prevent movement. with only the two little circle clamps sustaining the weight of the monitor and laptop, you are bound to get some motion, but using the metal plates will minimize such movement. I reccommend using a steel plate (or stronger) at least 2.0 mm in thickness. home depot sells a wide variety of thicknesses and sizes. chances are the plates will be silver in color, and since the desk is black, you may wnat to paint the plates before using them. engine paint (spray paint can) is always a good option, it is durable, easy to apply, and looks professional when dry. good luck!

The under table foot plate is a little less than 2 in and the clamp on top uses about 3 in. My desk has 2 1/4 in clearance and works fine.

Each clamp pad is 1 3/8 inches long. The screw center in the clamp is 11/16 of an inch. Butting the 2 pad ends together gives you a total length of 2 3/4 inches long. With pad clamps butted together, center to center of holding screws is 1 3/8 inches. Hope this helps.

I have mine on the right side. It doesn't have a preference. You can see it has a sort of bent tear shape, but I don't think it matters. Wherever you want to clamp it to the desk works fine.

There is a c- clamp type for the edge of the desk. Or it has another mount if you want to drill into your desk for a better position. Comes with both. Works great on the edge, that is how I use it.

The lower thumb screw part of clamp has a 1" diameter disc. The edge of the disc is set back approx. 3/16" from the c-clamp top. So you need about 1-3/16" lip/edge for a 'full' clamp fit,(i.e., 1" disc is fully attached to lip/edge). My desk has a 2" lip/edge which works great.

My desk is pretty close to the wall, I had to slide the mount into place from the side to get it onto the desk. As for the L Clamp, I'm using the bottom two holes, and i had to crawl under my desk and screw in both bolts to clamp down on the desk. There is no way to modify or change the physical mounting point to the desk and how it functions that I am aware of. My desk has a back board, but it is recessed to create a lip that I was able to clamp onto. I wish I could take pictures to explain but, the top surface of the desk is only about 2 inches from the wall, the back board is maybe about 4 inches give or take from the wall.

You need at least 1.75 inch for the clamp to hold 2 heavy monitors. Or you need to cut a square hole about 5x5 inches on the side, so the clamp will be stable and strong enough.Hope that helps.Michael

The center of the mounting bolt in my unit is 1 3/4 inches from the rear of the baseplate, and 3 1/2 inches from the sides. But in the spirit of "measure twice, cut once" you should first place the baseplate where you want it on your desk (without the mounting bolt in place, so it lies flat on the surface of the desk) and measure your desired offset, if any, from the edges of the desk to the edges of the baseplate; then install the bolt as per the instructions, and check the measurements from the center of the bolt to the edges of your baseplate. Add the offsets, if any, and you have the distances to the hole from the edges of your desk. A 5/16 inch drill created a perfectly-sized hole for my mount.
