Great inexpensive desktop mount!

If you're looking for a simple, durable dual monitor desk mount, this is your answer. For less than $50, there's almost nothing to complain about. The main benefit for me was the screw-through mount - I use it in a corner desk and the bracket's pinching in the back corner makes it difficult to slide the screens out far enough. I honestly don't know what others are complaining about having to reduce arm torsional tension to set angles - I actually made all the pivot bolts tighter than they came and I can still easily adjust the levers on purpose, but they don't go much from a small bump, and the movement is quite smooth. The stand, brackets and eyelet mount (clamp was not used but looks solid enough) all appear to be very solid - either the base attaches to the underside of the stand with 3 M5 or M6 screws and an eyebolt. it's M10, enough to hold <30 lbs. There are only 2 small cons that I noticed: 1) There is no tension adjustment of the monitor's pivot hinge (e.g. when switching from portrait to landscape). The tension it has works well, but I can rotate the monitors too easily for my liking when set in other directions. There's no reason for me to rotate them once I've lined them up, and it would be nice to increase the tension enough to make them difficult to move. It can also be a problem if you rotate them regularly, they can become too loose with regular use, I don't know. 2) The screen's "level" adjustment is a shoulder bolt on the mounting plate that you can rotate to raise the VESA mount. above, with a nut to attach the bracket to the stud. However, when you lift the mount, it no longer sits on the small "ears" at the bottom of the platter, and there is enough clearance between the platter and the mount to allow the screen to rock fairly well. I have a 19" Dell so it's not heavy or very wide and I can get a good 1/2" of wiggle around the edge. It doesn't matter to me, but it might matter in other situations. Adding a set screw or two to hold it in the mount and adjusting it would probably fix this fairly easily.
