Can this clamp down to an uneven desk underside? Say if a desk has a decorative bevel, can it clamp securely?

My guess is no as the clamp is flat on top and on the bottom. I think you need somehow to make the underside parallel with the top.

The peace under the arm that you twist to make it tight to the table can be on something that is not perfectly flat. However, it should be on something basically flat and in such a way that it will not slide. If it slides then you are in trouble. If it goes on crooked but in such a way that it is not going to move around you should be fine, within limits of course. The under table clamp is 1/2" or maybe a more from the edge of the table. so, if the decorative bevel is not too deep or does not extend too far from the edge of the table it should be find. I suspect you could have a decorative bevel one inch below the bottom of the table that extends one inch of the edge of the table and the arm will work find. No guarantee, but I feel reasonable confident that should not be a problem. If the clamping part hits the bevel but also hits the bottom of the table and will tighten in that position you should also be find. Again, no guarantees but I believe that would also work. Good luck, it's a great arm and very strong. The mounting bracket has several adjustments and in the worse case you can drill a single small hole through the table and put the locking peace directly under the table and it doesn't matter what that hole is. You can mount in in the middle of your desk (bad idea) or off to the side or close to the front, whatever you want, but you have to be willing to drill the hole. Good luck.

Yes - there are 4 screws holding it in place - and it does not impact the stability of the desk

the advice is......no. since clamping will require pressure to remain stable, it is very likely that that glass will break. i'm the proud owner of one and i must say it is serving its purpose......and me quite well. i would recommend that you use a wooden desk or platform instead. should you continue with your current configuration, you may risk damaging your desk and monitors!

The two legs are of heavy construction and wrigh quite a bit. Plus angling the monitor on both sides inwards gives it stability....other it is more prone to fall backwards. There is also a vice clamp that can be used to secure it to desk. I am using a glass desk so I am unable to use clamp but have had no troubles.

it has [ spring loaded ] clamps. you can make it as thin as you like. as long as it can support the table, desk,.... what ever.

That depends on how you mount the tray. if your desk is deep enough (front to back) you can certainly mount the tray such that it will go completely underneath. With that said, it could potentially restrict the upward range of motion when fully extended.

My desk is 1" thick and the clamps still 1 " to go... I am not sure by what you mean bevel. Do you meant there is a 45 degree bevel away from the edge? The foot of the clamp is 3" deep

My first inclination is that it would not. The main reason is that you have to have a clearance for the crank to go around so the desk goes up and down. In your scenario, (V-Shaped desktop) it would be difficult to set it up so that the crank has enough clearance to go around.

The lip on the back of my desk is 2 1/8", and it was a close call. 2" would probably work but the mount will not slide completely flush. And you may scrape your knuckles tightening it down. The mount is adjustable for a very wide range of thicknesses, you'll want to use the shortest of the three choices. My desk is 1 1/2" thick - at 3/4" I'd want to be sure the material it's made out of can take the weight. Unless your desk has a flimsy top, it should work fine.

I suppose it all depends on your desk, but I cannot imagine that it could. Basically imagine a stiff straight object (like a super wide broomstick, LOL) that is three feet long and two feet deep, from front to back. You really have to have three feet of open space width-wise for the clamps to hold onto your desktop. I don't recall that the clamps have any ability to swivel.

you will be able tosee what happens is the mount doesnt hang behind the desk its inward. infact if you look at it from the top down at no point does the edges, other than the part attached to the actual desk, hanging over the desk.you should be fine.

this one can clamp to a desk but the clamp it self it doesn't come with it you have to buy separate. check out Costco.com they have one that clamps down on the desk.

The basic setup for it is to be clamped to something. I am not sure of the material that you have on the side of your desk, but the bottom portion of the clamp could be omitted and instead you drill holes through the side of your desk to then bolt it through the side instead of clamping to the top. If you do that make sure that the desk material is substantial enough to hold the weight of the stand and your monitors. If not, it would be easy enough to add a waste board inside your desk to spread the weight and make it stronger.

Yes, you can adjust it to be completely flat or at an angle. What I did is I bought drawer liners (the non-slip grip liners people put in kitchen drawers) and place my laptop on top of it, so when I do adjust the desk to be at an angle (not too big of an angle), my laptop won't slip off. Works great to hold pads of paper in place without it slipping down too :)

I havent used a clamp monitor stand, but i am using other clamp products. the top desk plate is strong enough to withstand the clamps i am using with ease. HOWEVER, one thing i strongly recommend is that you get two metal plates and place them between the top clamp and the top of the desk, and another plate between the bottom dual clamps and the bottom of the desk. Reason 1: the bottom dual claps are little circles that will apply an incredible amount of pressure to just those two spots. if you place a metal plate between the circles and the bottom of the desk, you will be able to clamp tighter without beginning to crack the wood of the desk. Reason 2: a metal plate will dispurse the force of the clamps to a wider area across the desk, therefore you leave less of a mark on the desk, possibly even no mark. Reason 3: the monitors will be more stable. less shaking, wobbling, or any other movement. again, a tighter clamp means a tighter grip, which will better prevent movement. with only the two little circle clamps sustaining the weight of the monitor and laptop, you are bound to get some motion, but using the metal plates will minimize such movement. I reccommend using a steel plate (or stronger) at least 2.0 mm in thickness. home depot sells a wide variety of thicknesses and sizes. chances are the plates will be silver in color, and since the desk is black, you may wnat to paint the plates before using them. engine paint (spray paint can) is always a good option, it is durable, easy to apply, and looks professional when dry. good luck!

I think that would work just fine. The clamp is designed for any horizontal surface, so if you are clamping it to a shelf instead of a desk top, it should work fine

i think it would be doable. getting the clamp behind the desk will be tough with the cubicle wall, but you should be able to make it work.
