I just bought one of these. REVIEW CORRECTION ** you can get full range of motion backwards on the bottom arms by loosing the bolt underneath with Allen key. It will allow you to put them both arms right next to each other giving you more desk space
Great thing that I have found your video before I'll do my own review of the new version of the F160. 2 things that I have noticed when I opened the box is the ease of cable management and a simpler quick C-clamp design
To avoid the wall issue for some screen sizes you can just set the clamp in an offset position and have one monitor arm effectively folded back over itself, and the other fully extended (if that makes sense). Then you just swivel at the vesa mount 90 degrees and all arms should be running the length of the wall.
I always see people complaining about this as well... I had the same thought, extend one arm completely and fold the other. I have never tried it. Do you have personal experience with that?
just ordered mine and was a bit worried about losing some desk space but I thought I could do something like that but he didn’t show it in the vid. Thx for clearing that up 👍
Great video, thanks for posting. I got one of these the other day and they are really good, especially for the price. I screwed a small block of 2x4 wood to the back of my desk then clamped it to that to free up a bit more desk space.
VERY HELPFUL! ITs the only source online(srs) that has all the angles and cameras showing it all around which helps to figure out if it is good or not for our setup. I almost bought a Gas one but after this video which explained that i cant have it if my table is near my wall so ill get a regular one, thanks!
What this review doesn't tell you, YES, you can put two 27" monitors horizontally and still have a considerable height room/space underneath. You can get them close together by folding the arms a bit, or have the arms completely extended against the wall and have a large gap in between while the monitors are flush against the wall. The maneuverability of the arms is insane! But they don't allow a vertical layout of the monitors (on top of each other) The base houses a room for two USB ports, you can put your USB extenders in there and use it regardless of the ports layout (have the cables come out completely), just make sure the cover of the USB room is completely flush with the base when you screw it back on (underneath the base)
im not sure if its there on the f160 but on the f180 I thought didnt have tilt adjustment either until I fiddled around with it. Turns out it has two half-circle plastic covers that cover the screw, just squeeze and pull, it should pop right off. Again, im not sure if this is only with the f180, but everything else is exactly the same. hope that helps :)
After months of deciding i bought this f160 for my dual monitor, i have alienware monitor and a benq. Alienware stand are pretty wide and takes up the space for my mousepad lol. Thank you for the review, very informative :)
I prefer two single arms, instead of doble, because I can sit right in front one of the monitors e put the other beside. The dual arm doesn't allows that. Thanks again from Brazil.
Thank you very much, I found this video while looking for a way to align my 2 monitors close to each other, turns out I placed my desk too close to the wall so I can’t bend the arm to an “M” shape like that ❤
Good day.. New subscriber here from the Philippines.. I really appreciate your detailed and honest review Sir.. This kind of your review we're looking for and it really helps.. I'll go watch for your other videos.. Thanks and more power..
Great video! Warning to Samsung Odyssey G7 users. Like James mentioned, there is no tension adjustment for tilt.. The monitor keeps tilting down and it's very annoying.
Hi, i don't know how you can lift the monitor's arm so flexible (7:45).... Mine is stucked. Only able to move up and down with two hands. Then the arms will 'Spring it back' to its position. Do i need to unscrew something to make it loose ? I saw the '+' and '-' sign in that hinge part. Anything i should do with it so i can tilt up / down freely & lock its height with one hand?
@@jcunboxing Thanks for the reply. I did it exactly the place. Before that i need use some force to push it down to see that 'hole'. We need to keep rotating to '-' side to reduce the stress until it feels loose. It took like roughly 30 seconds adjustment to get that 'flexible' on the arm.
Just bought one. This may be a 2021 model because the part where you unscrew the grips is not present with mine. It's more like a hook like mechanism and then i tighten the grips to the table.
I fell like the only draw back to having desk mounted arms, is the wobble. I have a north bayou wall mounted arm for my 32" monitor and i have to say i love it because of the zero screen wobble if i bump the desk.
I have a NB 80 desk mounted with the clamp, and the wobble is none for a 27" display, I'd say NB makes a great job in this regard and had nailed it comparing to their previous models
They’re supposed to be able to put a 27” over another one... but it’s just for dual monitors, this particular one, plus many other brands that are exactly the same
Installation description is excellent but no details were given about the fixing the arm to the desired position. I bought the same model but the arm could not be fixed at desired position and it used to get back to its fully extended position. Its a big setback
hey do you know if is it possible to screw then in the table? I don't see any hole on the arm basis for that and I need a arm that is possible to screw.
How far is it from the back plate to the end of those clamps just so i know how much space you need to clamp it on the underside of the desk. I read that the diameter of the clamps is 45mm and the gap between the clamp and back plate is 10mm making that total distance from the back plate to the end of the clap 55mm. Meaning i would need 55mm of space on the underside of the desk to make sure that the clamp and back plate are secured properly. Could you measure it for me just to make sure the 45mm and 55mm is right? thanks.
in case it helps somebody: if you have a very deep desk or you like to sit close to the monitor i would buy 2 single arm stands, rather than the dual arm stand.
Thanks for the video. V informative. I realized this is not for me, since the wall being too close to desk. I do love the cable management solution though ..
Thanks for pointing out the space it takes if you have a table that is up against a wall. This kind of arms is for desks with a lot of space. I've got a small desk and good thing I watched this before I could have bought this one.
Hi!! I'm looking to get these but can you position the monitors on top of each other? I'm planning to mount them on a wall by building a mini shelf that I can clamp onto. This will make them clamp higher than clamping it to the table. Your answer will help me a lot! Thanks!
You can easily just buy a wall mountable monitor arm bracket. Would probably suite your needs a lot better. I would be very cautious/advice against clamping this on a shelf as it's not stable/might rip off the wall. Always better to mount the arm directly onto the wall itself. These ones also won't allow you to stack. There are monitor arms dedicated for stacking.
F80 is a superb model, got mine yesterday. I've noticed though that F80 can come with 2 different clamps, one being screw-less and the other the common one
AMAZING REVIEW! i'm wondering if with this one F160 (or the other one H180) can i fit two monitors next to each other? a 34" curve ultrawide being my main monitor (horizontal) and a 24" flat (vertical) without having issues of weight and space? tysm!
@@sebastianflorez8867 hell yeah bro, I did not buy this one but the 180, it have been working amazingly, I haven’t got any issues in weight/space aspects in my desk, but in my case I cannot move the ultrawide too much, just back and front a little bit (bc it’s too big ofc) but I don’t need it tbh lol so your good if u just going to be moving the small one, it gives you a lot of space and safety feeling, for last, mounting it w the 2 monitors it’s a pain in the ass btw 💀 you need 2 ppl at least
Hey a quick question, does the initial package come with screws for the monitor? One of my monitors don't have inbuilt screws for the monitor mount! Thanks~
Is it better to get 1 dual monitor arm or 2 single monitor arms? I have a 240hz Benq and a 144hz Asus both preferred to be horizontal and one is straight on mean while the other is at an angle on my right (I can make it left if needed).
I just bought one of these. REVIEW CORRECTION ** you can get full range of motion backwards on the bottom arms by loosing the bolt underneath with Allen key. It will allow you to put them both arms right next to each other giving you more desk space
Hi there, sorry I can’t find the information elsewhere, may I know if you are able to do a stacking of 24” monitors vertically ?
@@dexterys7305 sure you can. Both vertical & both horizontal. One vertical and one horizontal. It's very flexible.
With NB 160F you will not be able to do this as mentioned in the video. Thanks
i love your comprehensive reviews. the timecodes are incredibly useful.

I bought one of these for my streaming and I dont regret it. your review convinced me to get it and I hope you do more. I subbed and liked.
Thanks for the encouragement! Glad it helped you and that you're loving the monitor arms :)

Very helpful. Looking to get these now, look forward to future reviews. Keep it up James !!
Tension adjustment for the tilt is on the side of the tilt mechanism.
14:02 what happened there? The robot ran out of batteries?
12:52, you actually do have a tension adjustment for the tilt.
True, I can confirm that.

Thank you my friend just ordered this today super excited :)
Thanks for the video. I wanted to see how they’d fit against a wall. Looks like it takes too much room
what model dell monitor u use?
P2419H
Hello! Is it possible to remove one segment of an arm? perhaps only the one with the 'pump' can be directly put into the clamp?
Just bought one. This may be a 2021 model because the part where you unscrew the grips is not present with mine. It's more like a hook like mechanism and then i tighten the grips to the table.

Why mine have too much wobble
@@samsantos4509 tighten the tension rod further. That will help take out much of the wobble.
I wished you showed how high you can adjust those monitors. Im planning to get one of this for my 3 monitor setup. 1 bottom, 2 top
They’re supposed to be able to put a 27” over another one... but it’s just for dual monitors, this particular one, plus many other brands that are exactly the same
I am 8 months too late but if you want that kind of setup it’s better if you buy NB H180😊
@5:28 the pivot close to the monitor mount is plastic? or plastic cover metal?
Installation description is excellent but no details were given about the fixing the arm to the desired position. I bought the same model but the arm could not be fixed at desired position and it used to get back to its fully extended position. Its a big setback
Sounds like you need to adjust the tension on the arms. And doublcheck the Wright and size of the monitor is compatible.
It didn't came with the vesa screw?
How do I route cables when using the other clamp? (the one that goes through the table)
Here in Brazil this brand is not very famous, but it is at a great price. Thanks for Review o/
Can you use the monitor vertically with this
Great review, just placed an order for these :)
hey do you know if is it possible to screw then in the table? I don't see any hole on the arm basis for that and I need a arm that is possible to screw.
Can it be arranged in vertical manner not like the horizontal that you usually do?
Thank youfor the video !! ,you also convicted me to buy this one
Thank you brother./.. so helpful

According to my rough measurements, it's about 6-7cm into the desk from the edge.

can i use 32 inch tv and 24 inch moniter with this moniter arm ?

24" and width was 150cm
Do you recommend this mount if my desk is close to a wall? I cannot afford to make my desk farther the wall as I have limited space in room.
Great video! Does this come with monitor screws? Mine don't have them preinstalled into the monitor
Desk clearance is challenging. I need a wider desk for this.
Do u have any recommendations for budget stacked arms?
I need a dual monitor arm that can hold a 34” and a 24” can anyone help me Please?
What monitor did you use in this video? I like the bezel-less sides of the monitor to be used as a second monitor

Great video, you should make one with the laptop-monitor setup
I have a 18 inch deep mousepad and a 20inch deep desk so could I clamp this on that extra 2 inches I have or would it have to clamp on my mousepad
What sizes of monitors used in the video?
A bit late, but both are 24"
