Product Information

Full details

The VIVO Magnetic Monitor Mount (MOUNT-MAG01) is designed for users who need flexible monitor placement without permanent installation. It offers a secure, tool-free mounting solution to steel surfaces, saving desk space and wall integrity. A key benefit is its strong magnetic base, but a caveat is that the mounting surface must be at least 1mm thick for optimal stability.

FAQs

What is the minimum thickness required for the steel mounting surface?

The minimum required thickness for the steel mounting surface is 1mm. Thicker surfaces, particularly those 1.5 inches and above, will provide a stronger magnetic hold and higher weight capacity.

Can this mount be used on aluminum or other non-steel surfaces?

No, this mount relies on strong magnets and therefore can only be used on ferromagnetic surfaces, primarily steel. It will not adhere to aluminum, plastic, wood, or other non-magnetic materials.

What are the supported VESA hole patterns?

The mount supports standard VESA hole patterns of 75x75mm and 100x100mm.

How do I adjust the magnetic strength?

The mount features six magnets that can be individually positioned or adjusted to increase or decrease the overall magnetic pull, allowing you to fine-tune the hold for your specific steel surface.

What is the maximum weight capacity of this mount?

The mount supports monitors weighing up to 17.6 lbs (8 kg), provided the mounting surface is at least 1.5 inches thick. Weight capacity may be reduced on thinner steel surfaces.

Can I rotate the monitor to portrait mode?

Yes, the mount offers 360° rotation, allowing you to easily switch your monitor between portrait and landscape orientations.

Does this mount require any tools for installation?

No, installation is tool-free. The magnetic base attaches directly to steel surfaces, and the VESA plate attaches to the monitor without the need for drills or wrenches.

Troubleshooting

Mount does not hold securely to the steel surface.

Ensure the steel surface is at least 1mm thick and clean. Adjust the six magnetic strength settings for a stronger hold. Verify the surface is indeed steel and not a non-ferromagnetic metal.

Monitor is wobbly or unstable.

Check that the monitor is securely attached to the VESA plate and that the VESA plate is firmly connected to the mount arm. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and thick enough. Tighten any adjustment points on the arm.

Unable to achieve desired viewing angle.

Loosen the adjustment points for tilt, swivel, or rotation as needed. Ensure that the monitor's weight does not exceed the mount's capacity, which can cause it to sag.

VESA plate is difficult to attach or detach.

Ensure the VESA plate is aligned correctly with the mount arm connection. Check for any obstructions or bent pins on the plate or mount. Gently wiggle the plate while attempting to connect or disconnect.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free installation on steel surfaces.
  • Saves desk and wall space.
  • Highly adjustable viewing angles.
  • Supports portrait and landscape modes.
  • Customizable magnetic strength for varied surfaces.

Cons

  • Requires a steel surface of at least 1mm thickness.
  • Weight capacity is dependent on surface thickness and magnetic hold.
  • May not be suitable for extremely heavy monitors.
  • Potential for scratching delicate steel surfaces if not carefully applied.
  • Limited to steel surfaces only.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify a suitable steel mounting surface that is at least 1mm thick. Thicker surfaces (1.5 inches or more) offer higher weight capacity.
  2. Ensure the steel surface is clean and free of dust or debris for optimal magnetic adhesion.
  3. Attach the magnetic base to the steel surface. Adjust the strength of the magnets as needed.
  4. Attach your VESA-compatible monitor (75x75mm or 100x100mm) to the detachable VESA plate.
  5. Connect the VESA plate to the magnetic mount arm.

Compatibility:

  • VESA Patterns: Supports 75x75mm and 100x100mm.
  • Monitor Weight: Supports monitors up to 17.6 lbs (8 kg) on surfaces thicker than 1.5 inches. Always test for stability.
  • Mounting Surface: Requires a steel surface at least 1mm thick.

Care:

  • Periodically check the magnetic connection for dust or debris. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the mount or the mounting surface.
  • Ensure all adjustments are secure before leaving the monitor unattended.
