Freestanding Vario Monitor Mount Setup for Sim Racing

Quick answer

Set up your Freestanding Vario Monitor Mount by assembling the base and upright, then attaching and aligning each monitor arm for a rock-solid multi-screen view.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. 1. Unpack and Organize Parts: Lay out all components: base plates, upright posts, monitor arms, Vario-Vesa plates, and hardware. Identify each bolt and washer using the included manual. Group parts by size to avoid confusion later. Check that you have the correct number of Vario-Vesa plates for the number of monitors you are mounting.
2. 2. Assemble the Base and Upright: Attach the base plates to the upright post using the provided bolts. Tighten them firmly but do not fully torque yet. Place the assembly on a level floor where your monitors will sit. Use a spirit level to check the upright is perfectly vertical. If the floor is uneven, use thin shims under the base feet to level the post before tightening completely.
3. 3. Attach Monitor Arms to the Upright: Slide each monitor arm onto the upright at your desired height. Use the included hex key to tighten the clamp bolts just enough to hold the arm in place—you will fine-tune height later. Space arms evenly if using three monitors. Do not overtighten the arm clamps yet; you may need to adjust arm height after monitors are attached.
4. 4. Mount Monitors to the Vario-Vesa Plates: Remove the Vario-Vesa plates from the arms. Attach each plate to the back of your monitor using the correct VESA screws (usually M4 or M6). Ensure the plate is centered and oriented correctly (arrow pointing up). Tighten screws snugly but avoid stripping the threads. If your monitor has a recessed VESA mount, use the supplied spacers to avoid the screws bottoming out.
5. 5. Hang Monitors and Adjust Arm Tension: Carefully lift each monitor and slide the Vario-Vesa plate onto the arm's mounting bracket. Tighten the bracket screws to secure the plate. Adjust the arm's tilt and swivel tension using the built-in adjustment knobs so the monitor stays in position without drooping. Start with the center monitor first—this gives you a reference point for aligning the side screens.
6. 6. Align and Lock All Monitors: Loosen the arm height clamps slightly to adjust vertical alignment between monitors. Use the Vario-Vesa plates' micro-adjustment features (if equipped) to fine-tune tilt and rotation. Once all monitors form a continuous flat or curved line, tighten all clamps and bolts to the torque specified in the manual. Check alignment from your seated driving position, not from standing. Small angle differences become obvious when you are in the rig.
7. 7. Manage Cables and Final Check: Route monitor cables along the arms and down the upright using zip ties or Velcro straps. Keep cables away from moving joints. Give each monitor a gentle push to confirm no wobble or drift. Re-tighten any loose adjustment knobs. Leave a little slack in the cables at the arm joints so they do not pull tight when you adjust the monitor angle later.
