Studio Arm for iMac AM02

FAQs

• If my desk cannot accommodate a clamp and does not have a pre-drilled hole, how can I install the INFTYLAB Studio Arm series using the grommet method?

  If the desk is not suitable for using a clamp and there are no existing holes on the desktop:
  The grommet supports desktop thicknesses ranging from 10 mm to 70 mm.
  If the desktop does not have pre-drilled holes, the material must be sturdy enough to allow drilling.
  When using the grommet, the distance between the hole and the desk edge may need to be considered.

  Please note:
  The grommet requires the arm to be fixed in the same position for an extended period. If you frequently need to move the arm or prefer not to leave marks on the desktop, this installation method may not be suitable.
  Common cable management holes on desks typically have sufficient diameter for grommet mounting, but please remember to thread any cables through the hole before securing the mounting bracket.

• How should I choose between the "Desk Clamp" and the "Grommet" when installing the Studio Arm AM01/AM02?

  The product packaging includes both the "desk clamp" and "grommet" mounting accessories for your choice (supporting desktop thicknesses from 10mm to 70mm):

  Desk Clamp: Secures the arm to the edge of the desk using a C-shaped clamp at the base, requiring no drilling or modification of the desk. This method is the preferred choice for most users with standalone desks or height-adjustable desks when setting up their workstation.

  Grommet: Utilizes existing cable management holes on the desktop or requires drilling a hole in the desktop, through which a bolt is passed and tightened to secure the arm. This option is especially suitable when the back of the desk is blocked by partitions or when the desk is placed flush against a wall, making the desk clamp unusable.

• How can I assess whether my desktop environment and workspace are suitable for the use of the AM01/AM02?

  Desktop Material Restrictions: It is recommended to use solid wood, durable engineered wood, or metal desktops. Desktops made of glass, hollow core, or honeycomb structures are more fragile and, therefore, not suitable for monitor stand installation, as uneven stress may cause damage to the surface.

  Desk Edge Structure Restrictions: If the desk edge features a bevel or a large rounded corner exceeding 2.5 cm, the desk clamp may not secure properly. In such cases, a through-desk mounting method is advised.

  Under-Desk Clearance: If there are frames, crossbars, or partitions located too close to the desk edge underneath, the clamp may be obstructed and unable to fasten securely. Under these circumstances, a through-desk mounting solution is necessary.

  Supported Desktop Thickness: The AM01 and AM02 support desktop thicknesses—from 15 mm to 70 mm (0.59" to 2.76")—for both clamp and through-desk mounting options.

  Rear Clearance: If your desk is positioned flush against a wall with less than 11 cm of clearance between the desktop and the wall, the desk clamp may not fit properly. Additionally, please ensure sufficient space to accommodate the stand’s range of motion to prevent collisions with the wall when rotating or adjusting the monitor’s depth.

• How can I verify if my desktop material is suitable for the INFTYLAB Studio Arm AM01/AM02 series?

  If your desktop material is glass, hollow core board, honeycomb board, or MDF (medium-density fiberboard), the use of  Studio Arm is not recommended.

• Is it possible to install the INFTYLAB Studio Arm AM01/AM02 on a desk with beveled or rounded edges?

  If the desk edges feature a bevel or rounded corner exceeding 2.5 cm, the stability of the clamp may be compromised. Therefore, it is recommended to ensure that the desk edges offer a flat and stable surface to facilitate the proper installation of the Studio Arm.

• What is the difference between the 180° and 360° rotation limits, and when should each be used?

  If the back of your installed arm is positioned close to a wall, using the 180° rotation limit helps prevent damage to both the wall and the arm.

  If there are no obstacles around your desk, you may use the 360° rotation limit to achieve maximum operational flexibility.

• Is it possible to install the INFTYLAB Studio Arm AM01 / AM02 series monitor arm on a built-in or fixed desk?

  The Studio Arm monitor stand offers two installation methods: C-clamp and grommet mount, both of which can be installed on the desktop. 

  Please check the following:

  1. If your desktop has a cable management hole with a diameter greater than 6 cm, the C-clamp installation can be used.
  2. If the hole diameter is too small (less than 6 cm) or there is no hole, drilling a hole through the desktop is required. Please drill a hole with a diameter of 10 to 20 mm for installation.
