Desk mount for two monitors with manual adjustment, SolidHand-UM02

GTIN: 5907614661922 · SKU: SolidHand-UM02

The SolidHand-UM02 holds two monitors of 13 to 27 inches, up to 8 kg each, on a crossbar with two two-part arms of 289 mm carried by a steel post. The post is clamped to the edge of the desk and the crossbar is set on it at any height between 100 and 400 mm above the desktop with an Allen key. Each screen turns ±90°, tilts ±90° and swings through a full 360° on its arm; clips along the arms and the post keep the cables tidy.

The monitor screws F and G are alternatives: use G (M4 × 12) on a monitor with a flat back, or F (M4 × 30) together with the spacers (H) when the back of the monitor is curved or the VESA holes are recessed. Each monitor takes four screws.

Before you start​

Assembly takes about twenty minutes. Prepare the following:

  • A second person — hanging each monitor on its arm is a two-person job
  • A Phillips screwdriver for the monitor screws; all three Allen keys are in the kit
  • A free desk edge with a desktop no thicker than 75 mm, solid enough to carry the mount with two screens
  • A check that each monitor weighs no more than 8 kg and has VESA 75 × 75 or 100 × 100 holes
caution

Check that you have received all the parts listed above before you start. If anything is missing or damaged, contact us before assembling the mount.

Assembly​

Step 1 — Bolt the base bracket to the post​

  1. Stand the post (①) on the base bracket (⑤) so that the flange of the post sits flat on the bracket.
  2. Fix them together from underneath with the three M5 × 16 screws (C), using the Allen key (M).
  3. Tighten the three screws evenly — the post must stand square to the bracket.
Step 1: the post ① set on the base bracket ⑤ and fixed from below with three M5 × 16 screws C using the Allen key M

Step 2 — Clamp the post to the desk​

The base bracket has several pairs of holes, so the clamp can be bolted on at the height that matches your desktop.

  1. Hold the bracket against the edge of the desk and pick the pair of holes that puts the jaw of the clamp (④) just under the desktop.
  2. Screw the clamp to the bracket with the two M8 × 12 screws (B), using the Allen key (L).
  3. Put the assembly on the desk edge and turn the clamp screw until its pad presses firmly against the underside of the desktop.
  4. Check that the post stands vertical and that the mount does not move on the desk.
note

The desktop may be up to 75 mm thick. The manufacturer’s drawings show the clamp mounting only — the kit does not contain a separate grommet plate.

Step 2: bolting the desk clamp ④ to the base bracket with two M8 × 12 screws B and tightening the clamp on the desktop

Step 3 — Fit the crossbar​

  1. Slide the crossbar (②) onto the post from the top, with the VESA joints pointing away from the desk.
  2. Set it at the working height — anywhere between 100 and 400 mm above the desktop.
  3. Lock it with the screw in the collar of the crossbar, using the Allen key (K).
tip

Set the height so that the top edges of the screens will be roughly at eye level once the monitors hang on the arms. The height is changed only with the Allen key, so it is worth taking a moment over it.

Step 3: sliding the crossbar ② onto the post and locking it with the collar screw using the Allen key K

Step 4 — Fit the cable clips​

  1. Clip the cable clip (I) onto the post, below the crossbar.
  2. Clip the four clips (J) onto the arms — one on each section of each arm.
Step 4: clipping the cable clip I onto the post and the four clips J onto the sections of the two arms

Step 5 — Screw the VESA plates to the monitors​

Lay each monitor face down on a soft, clean surface and fit a plate (③) to its VESA holes — 75 × 75 mm or 100 × 100 mm.

Monitor with a flat back

  1. Screw the plate straight onto the back of the monitor with four M4 × 12 screws (G).

Monitor with a curved or recessed back

  1. Put one spacer (H) between the plate and the monitor at each of the four holes.
  2. Screw the plate on with four M4 × 30 screws (F), which are long enough to reach through the spacers.

Tighten the four screws evenly and do not overtighten them — the thread is in the monitor housing. Repeat for the second monitor.

Step 5: screwing the VESA plate ③ to the monitor — with M4 × 12 screws G on a flat back, or with spacers H and M4 × 30 screws F on a curved back

Step 6 — Hang the monitors on the arms​

  1. With a second person holding the monitor, put the pin of its VESA plate (③) into the joint at the end of one arm (②).
  2. Screw an M6 nut (A) onto the pin from above and tighten it firmly by hand.
  3. Let go of the monitor only when the nut is tight, check that the screen hangs level, then repeat for the second monitor on the other arm.
caution

Do not let go of a screen before its nut (A) is tightened — an unsecured monitor can slide off the joint.

Step 6: putting the pin of the VESA plate into the joint at the end of the arm and tightening the M6 nut A

Step 7 — Adjust the joints and route the cables​

  1. Set the resistance of the joints of each arm with the Allen key (L): tighten a joint if the screen sags under its own weight, loosen it if it is hard to move.
  2. Aim for a setting where each screen holds the position you leave it in, but still moves with one hand.
  3. Lay the monitor cables in the clips (J) along the arms and in the clip (I) on the post, then run them down to the desk.
Step 7: adjusting the joints of the arms with the Allen key L and routing the cables through the clips J and I

Using the mount​

Once the monitors hang on the arms and the joints are set, the screens are positioned by hand:

  • Height — 100 to 400 mm above the desktop, set on the post with the Allen key (K); both screens move together
  • Reach — up to 289 mm from the post on each side, over two arm sections of 132 and 157 mm
  • Arm swivel — a full 360° at each joint, independently for each screen
  • Screen rotation — −90° to 90°, so either screen turns to portrait
  • Screen tilt — −90° to 90°

Safety instructions​

Failure to read, understand and follow all instructions can result in serious personal injury or damage to equipment.

  • Using the mount with a monitor heavier than the rated 8 kg makes it unstable and can lead to injury or damage to the screen.
  • Follow the assembly instructions exactly. Incorrect installation can cause damage or serious personal injury.
  • Make sure the desk can safely carry the combined weight of the mount and both monitors, and that the desktop is no thicker than 75 mm at the clamp.
  • Use the supplied screws and do not overtighten them.
  • The product contains small parts that can be a choking hazard if swallowed. Keep them away from children.
  • The product is intended for indoor use only. Outdoor use can damage it.
  • Check at least every three months that the clamp and the screws are still tight.

Frequently asked questions​

Which monitors fit the SolidHand-UM02?
Monitors with a VESA 75 × 75 mm or 100 × 100 mm hole pattern, a diagonal of 13 to 27 inches and a weight of up to 8 kg each — that covers most standard office monitors.
Can I mount monitors of different sizes on the same mount?
Yes. Each arm is adjusted independently and takes any monitor within 13–27 inches and 8 kg with a VESA 75 × 75 or 100 × 100 pattern, so two different screens can be combined.
Does the mount come with a gas spring?
No — the SolidHand-UM02 is adjusted manually. You set the height of the crossbar on the post with the Allen key and it holds that position reliably. If you need smooth, one-hand height changes throughout the day, choose one of our gas-spring models.
Can I rotate a monitor into portrait mode?
Yes. Each VESA joint turns its screen from −90° to 90°, so a 90° turn puts one or both monitors in portrait — useful for reading documents, coding or comparing long pages side by side.
How thick a desktop does the clamp take?
Up to 75 mm. The clamp is bolted to the base bracket in one of several pairs of holes, which is how it is matched to the thickness of the desktop; a free desk edge is needed as well.
