I cannot clamp it to the type of desk I use. I have 3/8" & 5/8" hole in my desk, can I mount it in one of these holes without using the clamp?

Buy the FL-2 mount from Heli... $28 on their site. I have used one for years. As with their mics it is well constructed. They have other solutions as well...http://www.heilsound.com/amateur/products/booms-and-hardwars/hardware

I found the swivel base worked the best to use on my desk, you will have to drill three clearance holes first for the screws, ( I used small machine screws with lock washers and nuts for best results)

Yes, you should be able to mount it with no problem.. the clamp is adjustable. But if the desk is not heavy enough and you are mounting the arm and monitor on the side, you may need to counter balance to keep the arm and monitor from tipping the desk. I have the arm and large monitor mounted on a very small portable laptop desk.. also have one mounted on a heavy desk with glass top. I just put a pad between the glass and the clamp and I have had no trouble with it. The only problem I have had is that if I swing the monitor away from the desk it will tip the desk..even the heavy desk.

Hello E. Fike, I would say no, the monitor mount is not stable without using the base clamp. The base is too small to hold the monitor's weight without using the clamp. Plus, the clamp is actually part of the base. Thanks for your question, Taylor W. VIVO

Either a clamp (which opens up to 3 inches) or permanent hole drilled into desk/table. Hardware for both options included. I use the clamp.

I believe the clamp will work on your desk. The range of the clamp is 3/32" to 2-3/8", so your desk would be close to the lower clamp limit. There is a small layer of foam on the top part of the clamp, but you'd probably want to add a flat piece of rubber or other insulation on both sides of the desk where you clamp, to protect the desk and maybe help a little with vibrations.

Hello Nicholas,This mount should work with your desk, as long as the glass is thick enough. Some previous customers have put small wood blocks between the glass and the clamp to make it stronger.Please let me know if you have any more questions.Thank,Taylor W.VIVO

the advice is......no. since clamping will require pressure to remain stable, it is very likely that that glass will break. i'm the proud owner of one and i must say it is serving its purpose......and me quite well. i would recommend that you use a wooden desk or platform instead. should you continue with your current configuration, you may risk damaging your desk and monitors!

I don't think so, but I have never tried to mount mine because I have an office desk. I hope this helps you.

this one can clamp to a desk but the clamp it self it doesn't come with it you have to buy separate. check out Costco.com they have one that clamps down on the desk.

The piece for the top of the clamp is wide enough and has some foam/rubber attached. I put a block of wood about 3" wide, 10-12" long, and about 3/4" deep on the underside. I glued a piece of foam from the craft store to the glass-facing side. It worked really well. What I meant to say was attach the rubber to the block to stop/reduce slippage and to avoid scratching the desk.

You need an over hang on the back of the desk to mount it or you have to hold it to the desk itself. You need at least a 4 or 5 inch over hang to use the mount without bolting to the desk. As far as space on the desk it depends on what size screens you will mount to it. If you put 3 22" screens you will need just over 66" wide.

I can't say for sure, but I'd try it. You can always return it, so keep the box in case it doesn't work. I recommend trying to find a clamping point on your desk that will be somewhat close to where your monitor will actually be suspended because the shorter the arm's radius from clamp to monitor, the less leverage forces the clamp will exert on your desk.

I wouldn't clamp directly to the desk since you want to clamp pretty tightly. Put something between the clamp and glass (cardboard, some rubber, etc) to help spread the clamping force. ONce you have it clamped it should be fine though, of course, it is now balanced to the edge where the mounting arm is. If you don't have the glass secured to the base then it could tilt. That's less of an issue with this particular arm and more an issue with any weight close to the edge. My desktop tilted back a bit before I remembered to rescrew it to the base. :)

the mount is definitely designed to mount to a mic stand or other cylindrical item like a mic stand, but i actually clamp mine to my desk, if you don't have something round to clamp it to though it may be difficult. I managed to finangle it onto my blue yeti's stand though.

This product did not come with a clamp. It's meant to be used on a sewing machine table or you can drill a hole in a desktop and tighten the nut from below.

So long as your desk has a 2 inch lip on the edge for the clamp to screw up into, yes it could be set up. As for whether or not it would damage your desk, I suppose it would depend on the strength and thickness of your glass. The clamp can clamp on as thin a surface as you need but the desk mount with the monitor does put a lot of pressure on the clamp because it's holding up weight so far away. The clamp is a 2 square inch area that holds all the weight reaching out at an upward angle. I don't know how much weight your monitor + desk mount would be or what kind of glass you have, so I can't make a suggestion as to whether it would fracture the glass.

No. Sadly that was very similar to my issue and wouldn't clamp for my table. It pretty much has to be a flat surface like pictured or it won't work. If I was in your situation -- I wouldn't buy it. Best of luck though.
