Mount-It! Heavy Duty VESA Adapter Mounting Kit | MI-780

I bought this adapter to help mount a Dell monitor with a curved back onto a repositionable arm. Instructions were pretty clear but it still took me a little time and patience to get everything to go together correctly. (A second pair of hands would have helped me but I installed it myself.)

It does what it's supposed to do but it took me almost an hour to make it work. The directions are just illustrations which are neither detailed nor large. The little wrench is terrible. It's just a bit too big and doesn't grip the nuts very well so I ended up using an adjustable wrench. At first I put the VESA plate on backwards but then I realized my mistake. Here are my installation takeaways: - Don't tighten anything down too much because you'll need to adjust the arm length and placement. The little hook-grippy-things shouldn't be tightened all the way either. - Don't put more than one bolt in the sliding metal arms. I started by putting two in each arm but ended up using just one in each arm. I think it's easier to add them than to take them out. - Maybe it's obvious to everyone else but it didn't occur to me that the different length bolts for the hook-grippy-things were to accommodate different monitor depths. I'm glad I used the medium-length bolt on the first try! - The little buttons that cover the bolts on the hook-grippy-things have an interior spoke that's longer than the others. That spoke fits into a groove in the hook-grippy-things. Don't waste your time forcing that button into the hole.Overall I think it's a good product. It holds the monitor just fine and attaches to my monitor mount's VESA plate so it works. Just make sure you have a Phillips-head screwdriver an adjustable wrench and a good hour to toy with it.
