Fits 2 but not 3 monitors

This is my third Fellows monitor mount. The first two are the two-handed version, which worked great. The problem with the three-armed version, however, is that the center arm is only about 4 inches long, meaning the monitor is close to the stand. This is a BIG problem if you're using a clamp and have a wide table, as the monitor is wider than an arm's length, which is unusable at that distance. It would be better if the second hand looked more like the other two hands.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No car

I would buy it again (if I needed it!)

It was just what I needed to update my home office! I needed to downsize my desk but wanted to keep 3 monitors. It was easy to install and it works great! I tried using it with my 27 inch iMac but it didn't work. Although I don't think it has anything to do with the mount. I had to order my own connection for my iMac, but the monitor tilts down too far when mounted on the arm. So if you have a newer 27" iMac it might not work (unless you put that monitor in the middle so it's on the table. Just

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Shaky and weaker than expected

Thought I bought a very good monitor mount that allows you to use them side to side or stack them on top of each other but I moved the monitor up to install folded displays after I wanted to side-by-side it about a month later. That same day, I was in the middle of a league game and my top monitor fell off, crashing into my desktop speaker and cracking my monitor. it still collapsed, scratching a pole in the process and cracking my monitor. The two USB 3.0 are really good and the black finish…

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
