Ergotron DS100 Multiple Monitor Mounts

Get three Dual DS100s. Getting the Tripple or Quad mount (like I did) is not worth it: too heavy and leaves little room for "creative" setup.

I have a dell 24" and I want to mount a 17" above it (I only dual box for now) I was wondering if the DS100 would be suitable for this?

I want to expand to 3 - 5 boxing later, but I figure I can recycle the mount when that time comes

any help would be be appreciated

I would obtain the spec sheets and determine it for yourself. I use a rather large array to mount my 30" monitors. But I mount them vertically.... and I use the regular DS 100 (no extension arms) for most of it due to the size of the 30"s.

The bottom line is that I don't exactly follow their suggestions as to how to put this together. But if you know what you are doing - it is a very adaptive system.

I don't see why you could not mount a 24" and then a 17" above it though if you pole mounted them then clamped it to your desk. That should not be a problem at all. Just get the pole to VESA mount part and clamp away. Make sure your pole is high enough though. If they don't sell them, I suggest onlinemetals.com. Be sure to get 1.5" OD TUBE not pipe. If you want to look factory, take it to a local powder coating place.

You SHOULD still be able to get the spec sheets (and even CAD drawings, which I obtained) by going to their site. Worst case, call them. They should be able to help out.
