Yeah, no, it works and it's pretty great
TL;DR it's actually fantastic and is the best you can ask for for $159 on amazon and worlds better with my experience of the recommended vivo mount. It's solid. I don't see any problems with the machining and everything is pretty snug, much more snug than the $100 vivo one that I got in the mail, broke, and returned in the same day. The paint is a little scuffy in which that there are some parts that seem to have less layers of the white coating but at the end of the day, fantastic stuff. Seems pretty simple to put together and mount and they got instructions. It has a screw for 180 and 360 locking, the hex screws that tighten the parts together is nicely recessed a little bit, adds a bunch of premium points compared protruding small little philips screws from the vivo. Mounting it on the table has 2 pads, one for the bottom and one for the top and I don't think I'll have any complaints. May cause warping on the table in the long run but not sure based on the thickness of the pads and the size of the base. There is quite a lot of granularity with the things you can adjust which is a pro and a con. Be prepared to get an arm work out tightening and loosening those parts, especially after you get it to work with a G9 and then swap it out for a 5" monitor that you are using since the odyssey is broken. Seems like a very specific scenario but hey, happened to me. It is definitely work to move and pivot the monitor but I also didn't put too much time in adjusting the tightness or so to see if it can alleviate some of that work for me, I just tested it out. You probably can get more tilt out of what I managed which looked like a pretty solid double digits tilt, I just wanted to test it shortly that it could. It acts like how you would expect a normal monitor arm to act given the constraints on the degrees of freedom that it can rotate and move to. It's definitely something to behold since it, for the dozen or so minutes I had the monitor on the arm, can hold some weighty ass monitors. Not sure what's the current beast for weight and curvature on the market but they claim 44 lbs. It doesn't look exactly like the ergotron HX w/ HD Pivot but it sure feels like they have very similar hardware than them, visually at least. The HD Pivot though does not seem like the best to have rotated 180 so the top is now facing down. A lot of it is from gravity and not sure if you can rotate like that on the ergotron HX but, yeah, don't flip it and you'll be good. You get two small dainty screws (not actually dainty, it screws on with the 5mm allen wrench) to secure it from below to the arm to keep it in place but that's it. Read more
