Review on Enhance Your Workspace with the Wacom Flex Arm (ACK62803K) by Mitchell Watson

For weeks after purchasing the Cintiq Pro 24 I wondered if a flexible arm would be right for me. I had a really inefficient setup that required a lot of awkward lifting and pushing to get my Cintiq out of its storage location (in the flimsy foam sleeve it was packaged in, rolled and propped between my heavy desk and the wall to store a Cat). away from it) to where I used it (the bottom rested on the edge of the keyboard drawer and the legs rested on my desk). I knew I needed a flexible arm, I just really didn't know if it would be possible to attach it to my desk, which has a 4" vertical panel on the back. I contacted Wacom and turns out they didn't think there was a way either and suggested trying to find an Ergotron mount instead. After looking at the photos of the desktop mount, it turned out that THERE IS A WAY TO INSTALL IT! Basically all I had to do was drill two holes in the back of my desk (well I actually had to drill 4 as the first two were too low) and buy two longer 14mm screws (screws contain about 1/2 inch, I ended up doing). 1 1/2", be sure to fit a hex screw as the underside of the table may be awkward for a screwdriver). I have attached some photos of my mount. So if anyone is wondering if their table can accommodate a flexible arm, it can! The flexible arm is very strong and stable! I heard a lot of people say their joints were loose, but when I set mine up I could barely move a joint. Each joint has a hex screw somewhere to tighten or loosen the joint, and I had to loosen the vertical arm significantly before I could drop the Cintiq in my lap. For anyone wondering, there's an absolute tightness that allows you to move the Cintiq from its stowed position to the character position you're using without wobbling. The flexible arm is very stable, but it also requires an equally stable table; The mount weighs a ton! I'm not taking a single star off my rating for the extra work to install it because it didn't bother me and I genuinely believe you get what you pay for in quality. I know the price isn't for everyone, but I support Wacom products 100% and have been with them for over a decade. If you want lasting quality, spend the money.
