VIVO Single Laptop Notebook Desk Mount Stand Fully Adjustable Extension with C-clamp Fits up to 17 inch Laptops

Bought it to hold a keyboard and mouse touchpad combo. Really solid while typing. No bouncing at all, even when the arm is fully extended. I'm going to buy another one to hold my 17" laptop since I'm now certain it would do the job without even breaking a sweat. Super easy to put together and install on a table via the clamp. Two extremely beefy turn screws to anchor to the table. Clamp has a rubber pad so it won't scratch your table. Clamp bolts together from two parts using 2 hex-head screws (hex wrench included) and there are 3 sets of screws so you can adapt the clamp to fit from a normal desk thickness all the way to a ridiculous 4" thick. Mounting bracket and pole looks like it could survive a nuclear war. Be careful to tighten the arm clamp to the pole sufficiently or it might slowly walk down the pole each time you rotate the arm. You can verify this by seeing that the arm clamp does not rotate on the pole along with the arm. Subtle if you don't notice it at first, but very important in my case since the arm passes over some other electronics when I rotate it. The tray that comes with it is way too big for my keyboard, but it does work and is very solid. As I said earlier, the tray would hold a very large laptop with no problems at all. The good thing here is that the tray attaches with 4 bolts to a simple mounting plate, so any tray with the properly spaced holes would fit. I'm going to build a custom tray for my keyboard today. Should be awesome when it's done. Last thing is that the arm and joints that support the tray are quite thick, so they hang down about 2.5" under the tray. Thus, if you want to have your keyboard/laptop/whatever float just above your table (or as in my case, just above some other electronics), the best you can do is about 3" above. However, I'll take that in exchange for the insane stability and strength of this thing. I wish they sold additional arms for mounting other stuff to the same pole since there is no doubt it can handle it. The table lip would break off before the mount failed. In my case, the arm joints were too tight to easily move the keyboard around, so I popped off the caps as suggested by another reviewer and loosened them just a bit. Now the keyboard glides around with a minimal effort but still stays in place while in use. UPDATE: I now own 3 of these and they are awesome. Since you can't (apparently) purchase just another arm, I bought one just for the arm, so I now have 2 arms mounted happily on one pole. The third holds my laptop on another desk. Read more

This computer support arm is a godsend after back surgery. And leave it to Amazon’s vast selection to offer it. I can sit in the pictured support chair and work on my laptop for hours without having to hold a thing while back is healing. The support platform can be positioned in a multitude of positions, visualization of the close-up screen is excellent and no neck pain ensues in the process. I’m sure the product was never designed for this particular use, but for the very reasonable amount of money invested, the return is enormous. Assembly involves a simple couple of easy steps following excellent included instructions. This is a 5-star item, don’t hesitate but just go for it. CEK Read more

I have a very small desk space and I need to use two computers at the same time sometimes, so I was hoping to find something that would allow me to elevate the computer I used the least and shove it off to the side to keep from wasting desk space. This stand ended up being exactly what I was looking for.... *mostly*. While it did elevate my second laptop, and it does allow me to shove that laptop out of the way whenever it is not in use, it does have a couple of flaws that will require some fiddling with to make this product work as intended. First, the laptop platform is wide enough for a standard Dell laptop, with a lot more depth than I really needed, but that allows me to keep a couple of tools within easy reach now. However, my biggest complaint is that this laptop platform is very very wobbly as assembled. The platform simply slides into a track on the arm, and then you secure the two pieces together with a nut... however, there is still a LOT of play between the track on the platform, and the plate on the arm. I had to use zip ties to "shim" between the rails of the track and the plate in order to take the wobble out of the whole part the laptop sits on. It wasn't a *lot* of wobble - maybe a distance of a quarter of an inch at the sides, all told - but any wobble at all was very irritating as I attempted to work on the laptop secured there. After making my "shims" to close the gap, the wobble is significantly decreased, and I can work comfortably now. The other issue I had was how the assembly was a bit fiddly and almost required three or four hands during the process at times... but I managed it with judicious use of knees and elbows. Finally, I was afraid that I was going to either break the adjustment screw ot strip it, to make sure that the pitch adjustment of the laptop platform would stay where I put it, rather than tipping forward under the weight of a pretty lightweight computer. I eventually plucked up my courage and just kept tightening well past when I should have been able to stop, because if I couldn't get the laptop platform to stay relatively horizontal, it wouldn't matter if I broke the adjuster or not, because it wouldn't work anyway. It did eventually tighten up, although it doesn't take as much force as it should to tip it downward again, so I'm not sure how long that will last. If I tightened something that tight on an engine block, I'd crack something... so with that expectation in mind, the adjuster SHOULD have stayed put... without having to almost break the tool to do it. Speaking of tools, the nice thing about this mount is that they include *almost* every tool you need to assemble it, and even include a place for you to store the tools they included right on the mount, so you always have them handy if you need to make an adjustment. The only tool they didn't include was a screwdriver, which will be absolutely necessary to properly mount the laptop platform to the mounting plate. The rest of the construction is quite good, very sturdy, and adjustments are easy and smooth. Even when fully tightened down, you can still swing the arm around to get it out of your way or to pull it into place to work on. The arm is very durable, and the post the arm is mounted on is thick and sturdy. I did end up cutting that pole in half because I didn't need to raise my second laptop that high, and the unused portion of the pole was rather obtrusive on the view past that part of my desk. But that worked out well, and it currently fits exactly my needs. All in all, this was exactly the mount I needed to simplify and streamline my desk so that I didn't lose a large piece of real estate there. It wasn't perfect out of the box, but it only took me about an hour after I finished assembling it to make all the adjustments and changes to it to make it behave in the intended fashion. Don't be afraid to "over-tighten" things, because otherwise, it might not be stable for you. Otherwise, it's a good piece of equipment, and I recommend it if you're willing to fiddle if needed.

This stand works great, but as they say, "some assembly required". In addition to the tools provided, I needed a medium Phillips head screwdriver and a medium flat screwdriver, the latter to pry the upper clamp open while pushing it onto the column. You'll have to insert and tighten eight screws, it took me 15 minutes, and it'll take longer if you mount with a screw hole through your desk instead of the side clamp or if you're mounting a monitor directly with the VESA plate. The quality of the hardware is really good, no problems once you've got it all together. It's true that the VESA plate mount has a little play, which some of the reviews mention as a big negative. My suggestion: if you're willing to make the plate attachment permanent, stuff a little epoxy putty into the slots before you insert the VESA plate. It won't ever come apart, but it won't wobble either. Read more
