The Product----------------The product construction on these things is excellent - all the bits are cast metal (aluminium?) and you can tell, once the screws are tightened, they're not going anywhere.All necessary tools are supplied (x2 alan keys and a small spanner) with the stand.You get vertical adjustment at the pole by sliding the "joint lock" (the bit that sits over the pole and provides a hole for the arm[s] to fit into) and each arm can be swivelled freely in the horizontal plane. The Vesa brackets (the bits that join the stand to the monitors) are adjustable as well - you can tilt the monitor forwards/backwards and rotate it clockwise/anti-clockwise.Once you're done adjusting you can tighten everything up and the job is done.This involves a bit of trial and error + a few goes to get right; but it's easy enough.The Gotchas----------------As several other reviews have pointed out - you need to understand what your total horizontal monitor width is. This product (on its own) won't cater for today's bigger monitors. My exact setup is detailed below if you're interested. The really good thing about this product is that it's extensible: you can buy individual arms that allow you to go to bigger monitors without having to purchase a whole new rig. There is a limit - i wouldn't string more than 3/4 arms together unless I had a super light monitor at the end of it. But even then, you could buy another pole (again, see below for my setup) and redistribute some of the load (the Allcam website  have a complete range of bits)One other thing to understand is that - if you buy the MDM06 only - you get two "joint locks" ... those bits that fit over the pole and have holes that you plug the arms into. The idea is that your central monitor goes on the middle joint lock (which has only one hole for a single arm or vesa bracket) and the left/right monitors both attach to the other one (it has two holes!). If your left/right monitors are NOT a matching pair and the mounting holes for the vesa bracket aren't aligned - you'll get some vertical height difference between the left/right monitors that you will not be able to adjust away because they are mounted on the same joint lock. (I overcame this with my setup [again, see below]).Overall---------------It's not perfect (what is) - but it is a) solid as a rock, b) extensible and c) cheaper than the competitionYou've either got to be pretty angry or pretty impressed to write a review of this length. Overall - I'm extremely pleased with it and would definitely recommend it.My Setup----------------I've got 3 monitors: a 27 inch front-and-centre with two 22inch side monitors. Let me say - right off the bat: The out-of-the-box MDM06 will NOT handle these sizes of monitors because the total length of the supplied arms is not long enough.I ended up with the following kit to meet my needs:1. x1 MDM06.2. x1 additional pole (+ desk clamp + single-mount joint-lock)3. x3 additional long arms Long Arm for Allcam MDM04 MDM05 and MDM06 series LCD Monitor Desk Mount BracketFirst I tried with a single pole and just had the arm extensions...but beyond 3 arms between the pole and the monitor - you'll realise that it's not a safe setup - you get lots of wobble if your desk is knocked and I couldn't shake the feeling that i'd arrive at my desk each day to find the left/right monitors a little bit closer to the floor.In the end I got the second pole and have two monitors on one, and a single on the other....this is a representationLeftMonitor==|=CentreMonitor |==-RightMonitorwhere "=" is a long arm, "-" is a short arm and "|" is a pole. This arrangement has one monitor per joint lock - which means all three are able to have their vertical position independently adjusted (which I needed as none of my monitors are the same model).This works really well - the monitors are rock solid on the poles/arms and the length of the two peripheral monitors is just enough to angle them inwards for a perfect setup (for me!)I've also bought a couple of spare arms because I expect to upgrade to larger peripheral monitors in the future and will probably re-jig to this:LeftMonitor-==|CentreMonitor |==-RightMonitorwhich is pleasingly symmetrical and will allow me to keep the same angle on the left/right monitors even though they'll be wider.P.S It might have been cheaper for me to buy three of the single mounts - i haven't worked it out because there's no point and i'm not overly bothered - but it would be worth checking if you're thinking of something similar.

This item is good value for money and very adequate for my needs: to hold three 19" Dell LED Monitor screens "floating" above the desk. They face the user, with the side screens at about 160 degrees to the central one. Each screen is set at about 10 degrees to the vertical. The result is exactly as was required.The kit was delivered quickly. One component was incorrect, but a new one was posted to me very quickly. The kit is time-consuming to assemble. A beginner will take a few hours rather than a few minutes. When correctly assembled, adjusted and tightened, the result is very robust. There is no slack. A question was raised by one reviewer about touch screens.The central screen is held very rigidly on the central column; I am in no doubt that this could we be a touch screen. The side screens in my configuration will vibrate up and down if knocked, so the stand might not be ideal for holding touch screens at the sides.I ordered additional long side arms which are necessary for 19" screens. I found that nuts on two of the joints were only held by two or three threads. This remained true, whatever configuration and combination of arms was used. The solution, I was advised, is to remove the two thick washers at these joints only. I substituted very thin steel shim washers about three thousandths of an inch thick. That allowed the nuts to be screwed on adequately. The shims prevent undesirable contact between the light alloy surfaces of the joint (this could cause fretting or galling wear). The arms are light alloy, the pivots are made from strong, bright-plated steel bolts, in a sturdy design.Another change I made, was addition of a thin smear of molybdenum disulphide grease on all bearing surfaces. This allows the nuts to be tightened up firmly, removing all slack, whilst still permitting the screens to pivot easily, e.g. to show a visitor what is displayed.A system of very useful cable clips is provided in the arms (the adverts should show this). They support and hide the cables, in a neat and convenient manner. Where they emerge to conform around the joints, they can be tucked away on the least-visible side. I found it very hard to push the cables (mains plus VGA cable) into the slots in the plastic clips, However once in there, they will not come out and are held gently.The kit includes all the tools required, i.e. two sizes of Allen key and a simple pressed-steel spanner. To speed the work and assure firm results, I recommend use of socket spanner with ratchet arm, this will be found much more convenient than the pressed-steel one.The stand replaces individual monitor stands with outstanding space saving. I can now put instruments below and behind the screens, which is more compact and convenient for operation. Papers and files can be slid under the screens. A good deal of desk area has been freed-up. I am impressed that up to three more screens can be fitted to the same stand, by purchasing additional components.I have read (but not verified) that this stand is half the price of the nearest competition. If true, I think it is quite a remarkable bargain.Copyright reservedA. R. Churchley22-04-2014

I bought this stand plus two additional MDM0AL 'Long Arms' priced only £5 each to hold my reasonably weighty Samsung Syncmaster 940BF 4:3 19" monitors. I wanted to gain some additional desktop space by ridding myself of the individual desk stands.When the kit arrived, I was quite pleasantly surprised by the sturdiness and quality of the components. They are quite well finished, hefty allot castings with steel inserts at each join. Once put together (a process which is rather fiddly - especially if you are a bit of a perfectionist about getting the screens level) the ensemble is really surprisingly sturdy.For the money, you really cannot argue.It's absolutely very good value indeed.The negative points in my case were that the screws designed to mount the X-brackets to the rear of my monitors were a little too short, and I needed to use some spare 12mm M4 caphead screws I happened to have handy instead. I also needed to fix one of the steel stub joints which was not quite 'pulled through' the alloy arm enough during manufacture. By putting a stack of M12, M10 and M8 washers over the stub and screwing down the M8 nut supplied with a reasonable deal of force, the stub insert pulled through another couple of millimeters, and I was able to successfully bolt it to the stand. Someone without access to these kind of odds & ends may have been forced to return the component for a replacement.So, in summary - I'm very happy with the stand barring one manufacturing fault and the minor hassle I had getting it finally assembled.Recommended.

.........and have only good thoughts about it, particularly when comparing against the pricing of alternatives.Well, that's not true actually. Because it does what it ought to, I've not actually had any thoughts about it.With the addition of the extension arms, it holds three 24" side-by-side Samsung LED screens successfully. I haven't experienced any unwanted tilting etc.There was a little dialogue with the supplier Allcam when first fitting the additional extension arms, as the threaded portion of their studs wasn't long enough to properly engage with the nylon insert in the locking nuts. Allcam suggested I omit the supplied washers, which I have done, and it's a sturdy setup.Not sure why the washers were provided though, if they're not required?I shall be purchasing another MDM06 to get another bunch of screens up off my desk. Although the construction of the MDM06 means the screens are a bit further away from the wall than is ideal, it does free up a decent amount of desk space below each screen.Definitely a winner in my book, particularly at this price.

I have 3 x 27" monitors, connected using 2 Allcam poles on the desk. I bought this single pole kit (hoping) thinking it would fit my screens on one pole, it was very tight and didn't fit as the screens are huge and they weigh a ton so I had to order another pole, clamp and 2 arms in order to have my 3rd mounted on it's own.On one pole is 2 monitors using 3 arms each to give enough width to fit them side by side. (This kit came with 4 arms, so I needed to buy 2 of the long arms in order to have enough length for these screens) On the other pole is 2 arms.The monitors are 2 Dell 27 inchers that are very heavy and one is a light BenQ. The full kit holds them perfectly and I can rotate them them about.You just need to make sure that you use the spanner to tighten each arm very tight to prevent sag, once this is done it's all fine.I didn't expect this kit at this price to be able to hold such large and heavy screens so kudos to Allcam!

Was needing a new bracket for my New PC rig with 3 23" monitor surround setup. Did the usual searches and found several different types available, with prices ranging from reasonable to some that cost more than the monitors themselves!I ordered this item after emailing a few questions to the team @ Allcam(Ehome)and they explained what i needed for my particular setup as i needed some of the extensions. Unfortunately i had a bit of a delay in shipping however they refunded me some postage for this.The Box is heavy! and when you open it you can see why. the components are strong and well made and even before i attempt assembly and attaching my monitors, i have a feeling of confidence in its quality and ability,and the price is a steal compared to other similar products.I'll update this review when i get it assembled and the monitors attached (i may even attach a pic if possible)

Very impressive. I had wanted a triple monitor stand for a long time, but the insanely high prices always stopped me (as much out of principle as anything else). This MDM06 does everything I could want at a fraction of the cost of the competition. I highly recommend it.It seems that the package now comes with four long arms (18.4cm) rather than two long arms (18.4cm) & two short arms (12.5cm). This is an improvement for set-ups with larger monitors. To support my three 24inch monitors I purchased four additional long arms, but only needed two of them due to the change. Three long arms (on each side), and the central stubby arm, makes for a stable 3*24inch set-up. Five stars.

As soon as i opened this kit i could tell it was worth the money. The build quality is good, the weight and strength is good and the overall feel is good.My only concern was the way the base clamp plate fits to the upright arm back-plate. The bolts pass through and interfere with a flush fitting, although normally not a problem, i have mine mounted in reverse for my application, and this shows (although it has no affect on the sturdiness).

For the price this product is fantastic my only complaint is that because of its engineering you'd assume that they will all be the same height however when mounted they sometimes aren't. I can't say for everyone but mine where a huge pain in the ass to get aligned perfectly. But besides that they are perfect.
